Everything looks over the top.  I'm sure it's worth $20 million +.  Do you know the actual cost of it?

to German: agree - this new Russian client wants to feel as Tsar, this is not a home to live in, it's a display... I don't know the cost, but my guess would be that it's much much more than $20 million... As the magazine informs the building is 23 000 sq. f., 19 variuos types of decorative stones were used and the architect went to Italy to hand pick the stones personally, etc. etc.

to Joan: exactly, that was the idea of the client I believe - to feel as Tsar (a Russian name for a King)
