Gates Needs To Expand His Bachelor Pad
from the say-what? dept
Bill Gates has put in for permission to add an extra child's bedroom to his 37,000 square foot, $109 million house. Apparently (and I believe they wrote this with a straight face) the house was "designed for a bachelor" and thus "isn't fitting as they expected it to". I'm sorry, but I don't care what sort of bachelor you are, but if you've got 37,000 feet, you should be able to figure out some place to put your kids.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
