BILLY GATES - read about it here:

Features

* Electronics are used abundantly; visitors are surveyed upon entrance and are given a microchip that sends signals throughout the house to adjust temperature and other conditions according to preset user preferences.
* If a guest wishes, the music of his or her choice will follow him or her throughout the house - even at the bottom of the pool.
* A 17 × 60 foot (5.1 × 18.2 metre) swimming pool. It contains an underwater music system and a fossil-motif floor. There is also a glass wall which can be dived under in order to emerge outdoors, by a terrace. A locker room off the pool has four showers and two baths.[3]
* There are no visible electrical outlets. Gates is known to dislike clutter.
* The wood columns from main floor to roof in entry area are over 70 feet tall.
* All of the timbers used inside and out are finished the same - inches have been removed from the exterior of the wood and then sanded to a satin finish. They are nearly perfect in that there are almost no knots.
* Some of the interior passage doors weigh over 800 lbs, but are balanced for easy use.
* The roofing is stainless steel.
* The floor is heated everywhere including the driveway and walks.
* The security system (automated and personnel) is extensive. Hidden cameras are everywhere, including the interior stone walls. Sensors in the floor can track a person to within 6 inches. The system is monitored at the Microsoft Redmond campus.
* There are 53 miles of communication cable in the building.
* Gates insisted on saving a 40 year old maple adjacent to the driveway. The tree is monitored electronically 24 hours per day via computer. If it seems dry, it gets just the right amount of water automatically delivered.
* The entry gate senses when a car approaches and opens fully by the time it arrives.
* There are several garages. Gates has a personal 4-car garage. The house for the maintenance staff has its own garage. The nanny parks in the 6-car carport across from the main entry. Additional cars can be parked in a subterranean arched concrete building which through an electromechanical transformation becomes a basketball court.
* Very old antique cabinets from China have been brought in and built into the walls with adjacent paneling built to match the cabinets exactly.
* The master bathtub can be filled to the right temperature and depth by Gates as he drives home from work.
* The shower curtain next to the spa is a 4500 lb slab of granite.
* All bolts throughout the house are stainless steel and oriented in the same direction.
* The finish color of the steel brackets used on all the timber framing was changed after installation, requiring in-place refinishing.
* All woodwork is flawless. Much of the woodwork is of various rare types from all over the world - imported especially for this house.
* Many of the heavy timbers used in the house are actually glued-laminated beams with a veneer to make them appear as solid sawn lumber.
* Acoustics are a concern throughout the house. Various woods and fabrics are being used with acoustics in mind. Acoustic panels in the ballroom move out of sight on their own.
* The ventilation system also conditions the air for health and comfort.
* Melinda has 42 linear feet of clothes hanging space in her closet operated like a dry cleaner's rack.
* The reinforcing steel in all concrete is four times the code minimum. No. 8 steel wrapped with no. 5 ties was common for simple columns.
* The theater was built underground in a concrete shell.
* Many doors are blended so well with the walls that it is hard to see them.
* Situated in the hillside along the east bank of Lake Washington, the house can be seen by over 350,000 daily commuters on the SR-520 Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, which is just to the north of the house.[4]
* Each door handle in the home is custom made on a CNC machine to specifications laid out by Mr. Gates. Each handle (2 per door) cost approximately $2000.

Damn.

EDIT: Whoops, didn't see that it said 'superstar'. But that's kind of general, and Bill Gates is a superstar businessman.

I've driven by the nice houses in his area, but I've never managed to get a look at his house, someday I will though.

- Even the servants have their own house.
- Bill Gates likes basketball. I bet he has more skills than most posters in this forum.
