Very artfully arranged. People would pay money to see much less.
Whenever I see vast collections of debris such as this...it makes me not want to own stuff. I guess it helps that I have just completed a task where as part of a lawsuit (I am not a party but I supervise the “workout” effort) I have spent over 300 hours over the past several months clearing out two residences owned by a hoarder lady.
Per our estimates, she spent over $400K at the Home Shopping Network buying Lady Diana dolls (over 40 of them complete with spare tiaras, and little bitty pairs of high heels) and the entire Joan Rivers jewelry collection and several other of their jewelry collections, kilotons of fine china which had to be carefully packed, and giant amounts of pure debris. Most of it went into a dumpster. Actually 5 dumpsters and 2 qty 10 x 20 storage spaces upon which she now pays $600/mo storage.
I had more than modest anger at the situation because for $400K I could have started about 5 businesses and lived reasonably well while they came on line.
I know a little about what you speak of regarding money wasted on piles of stuff that sits.
It is very frustrating.
I’m not sure I understand your complaint about how she spent her own money. She supported numerous companies with that $400K she spent, and she probably thoroughly enjoyed buying these things. You sound like a liberal socialist complaining about how others spend their money.
