Well, like the obxxx klan, with the kind of money they have available, they can afford YUGE sea walls. I mean it ain't like NYC or Miami are going to be under hundreds of feet of water. An inch or two in low areas if it ever happens. Which it probably won't.

There’s beach front and there’s beach front. Kinda need to see the lay of it. Is it on a hill? Breakwater? Man made beach?

It's right on the sandy beach, not up on some bluff, too.

He's clearly not to worried about the rising seas.

Hypocritical? It’s ok, he’s liberal, it’s what they do.

Bill Gates is 64.

The average sea level rise prediction is about 1 foot by 2050 so he will be 94.

There is absolutely no danger to that house in his lifetime.

$43 million is chump change for Gates. Proportional to net worth, it's about $450.00 for me. Even if Gates knew the ocean would wash that house away in a couple of years; it's no a big deal to him.

Not necessarily a hypocrite. Gates is so rich he can afford to buy it just to use it for a few years (and not some sort of long term investment). /sarc

Jeez, Bill Gates is slumming it these days.

Even though I wouldn’t pay more then 10 mil for that place, looks like on a triple lot, ocean front lot, I would expect nicer, better, and more private for a multi billionaire like Bill Gates.

Sorry I am not impressed.

But if he is happy, that is all that matters though

Gates knows that unless he parrots the liberal line, that he will never be able to live in peace with his billions.

From the Wall Street Journal...

The original house was built with oil money!

“The luxurious six-bedroom, four-bathroom, 5,800-square-foot home was sold to the Gates family by Madeleine Pickens, a former wife of the billionaire oil baron T. Boone Pickens.”
