Bill Gates has gone underground. The
high-tech billionaire's home is built into a
hillside on the edge of Lake Washington, near
Seattle. The 66,000-square-foot compound
includes a 60-foot-long swimming pool with an
underwater music system, a domed library with
two "secret" bookcase doors and a
1,000-square-foot dining room. The family
quarters, however, are said to be modest. The
estate includes 11 surrounding properties
that Gates bought, which goes some way toward
explaining his local taxes. The properties
are valued at nearly $140 million, and this
year's bill came to $1.1 million, according
to the King County Journal.
it's alright inside, his library is nice, and
the abe lincoln statue is classic. The
elevator has a running waterfall next to
it...
