The estate at Saranac Lake was the one I worked on. There were other estates owned by excessively wealthy people. At one time they were even bigger than they are now, having been broken up for various reasons.

My assistant dated a German girl who works at Marjorie Post's estate. One weekend she gave me a tour. It's like a little compound of individual residences and a big lodge building where they gathered to eat meals and such.

The living room was huge, and had many unusual artifacts, including a lampshade that was reputedly made of human skin. The German girl told me that Mrs. Post's orders were that the entire place be closed down at the end of summer as if she were not to return for ten years. That meant all the artifacts had to be stored and the furniture covered with sheets. Mrs. Post spent winters in one of her other estates. I think she had three or four altogether.

Like you said, TOO MUCH MONEY. I would not want that for myself at all.
