Majorca House of Glamour and Glitter for Sale on eBay

For those of you who are easily impressed by gold, glamor, glitter and gadgets, here is a home that has all this and more. Located in Majorca, Spain and belonging to prince and talk show host Karl-Heinz Richard Furst von Sayn-Wittgenstein, the 10,700-square-feet living space is available for sale on eBay ( later edit : it seems that the auction was deleted or closed ), for the sum of $28,000,000. The golden residence was inspired by the creations of Lugi Colani, a renowned German industrial designer whose works have a rounded, organic form. More than 1,230 square feet of 24-carat gold are said to be a part of this opulent residence whose appearance definitely has a strong effect. Moreover, you are looking at a home that is overrun by technology, as all the appliances are remote controlled. The six entrance doors featuring Swarovski crystals, the generous outdoor pool and statues complete this home’s image of a luxurious and flashy crib. So…love it or hate it?
