Hope the guy has a good maid service, I can only imagine how red fluff balls blowing across white marble floors would look like. I just got done cleaning Shepherd hair from hardwood flooring and that was bad enough! Oooo wonder if it's a REAL dog who will find the nearest mud pit after a rain during an escorted potty trip. Bet the dog has a nanny too.
As for what he paid... what else do you do with extra cash laying around and you see something you want? It's all relative to what you make. Can't take it with... so pay your bills, invest some, and blow the rest after a couple of charity gifts. Personally I would have spent it on horses, but to each their own.
