(85,373 posts)2. Trekked-Out Boca Raton Estate For Sale
http://www.startrek.com/article/trekked-out-boca-raton-estate-for-sale
We're assuming that Marc H. Bell, a financier and two-time Tony Award-winning producer of the plays Jersey Boys and August: Osage County, is a major Star Trek fan. Why do we assume this? Well, his Boca Raton, Florida, estate features a Star Trek-themed theater room (complete with Borg alcove) and a Star Trek: The Next Generation Enterprise bridge-themed theater (with TOS sound effects for the doors). In fact, the 27,000-square-foot estate -- which is currently South Palm Beach County's most expensive single-family home listing -- also boasts a Call of Duty-themed videogame room, a half-size college football field and a massive game room, not to mention a fully stocked wine cellar, a bar, a gym, a volleyball/basketball court, a library, eight bedrooms and 16 bathrooms.
Did we mention the asking price? It's all yours for just $35 million. Get the details at The Palm Beach Post: http://realtime.blog.palmbeachpost.com/2014/05/09/35-million-boca-manse-with-star-trek-enterprise-replica-for-sale/?cp=all#comments
IF IT WEREN'T IN FLORIDA...WHAT IS IT WITH THESE RICH GUYS?
