Ok today we went to a lake, well, today isn’t the first day. First some context. So we recently decided to go to Lake Geneva Wisconsin. Grandpa, Grandma, Stuart, Mom, and all went with the cat (Zeus). We stayed at a hotel called Bellavista for 2 days. We went to the pool, we went to nice restaurants but there was a downside. Actually 2. First of all, Bellavista doesn’t allow cats and second of all, sunshine. Too much. So anyways 2 days passed and eventually we went on a boat tour. First we went in front of a library and ate Qdoba Burritos. I had a chicken burrito, Mom and Stuart had a Chicken Salad and Grandma and Grandpa got a Beef Bowl. So when we went on to the ship, we were full. The picnic was fun because I got to chase the cat around and the food was good.
The first thing we saw on the ships were HUGE houses. So I will be telling 3 stories about 3 big real estate places.
First of all we got the Wrigley Estate. You might know the name Wrigley because it’s the same bubble gum Wrigley. They used to own 3 REALLY big houses and they still kinda do but it’s been divided into 7 smaller houses. Now, each house sells for about 15mil. Also all the houses are colored green because Wrigley Gum Spearmint is green
Second of all is the Young House. A guy called Young was a toy maker and seller, then a jeweller. When the great Chicago Fire happened, people thought the government would rebuild in other land so they tried to sell their land for as much as they could which was a few cents. Apparently, Young said land was land so he bought it all but surprise, the government was gonna rebuild on the burned out land so suddenly, everyone wanted their land back so Young sold the land for 1000x the price he bought it. He had a budget of 2 million and mind you, this is when the weekly wage was like 3 dollars so 2 million is A LOT. Anyways, after the Young house was made which it was supposed to look like a Italian Style fancy house, Young only got to enjoy it for 5 years before he died. After his death it kept getting bought by incompetent investors who didn’t repair it so know it looks like a big dugout fallout shelter.
Finally the golf club. So one of the most popular games among the rich people is Golf. And they actually have a big club for it. Well I say big, it’s only 200 people. Why? Because the requirements are REALLY high. You got to live nearby, you got an invite, you need every single member to like you, if one member doesn’t like you, you will not be approved to be a part of them. I like to think of them as a cult ;)
