Phenomenal home. I was sad when he said “I don’t want you to bore you to death with the details”. I want to know more!! Amazing architecture and refined taste.
Exactly!! I second this!! Tell me more about
The Capulets were clearly behind that house fire!
Otex 11 haha
Never was there a tale of more woe.......😂😂😂👍🏻
Best. Comment. Ever.
What a classy home. Thank you for let us see inside.
This house is so beautiful! The library is definitely my favorite part of the house
So strange, on the face of it I wouldn't think of this as my favorite style, but the art and house work so well together I can't help but love it. Beautiful place, thanks for the tour!
This library reminds me of my home library when I was a child. My elder brothers worked hard to build that library
This level of wealth and culture is what I strive for.
He owns mineral rights. Guaranteed.
I adore this man. He's so cool and smart and humble.
That library 😲👏 with the almost maze like glass bridges that form the second story. One of those things you see that will ever persist in your mind. So extra, yet so his laid back style at the same time.
I can only imagine the fascinating dinner conversation about how the art and library were collected!
It's modern but not cold and impersonal. Gorgeous!
Honestly this is my dream home 😭
I've got 2,000 books in my 1100 square foot house. It's cramped.
What a peaceful and comfortable home. The art is amazing.
Simply gorgeous, everything talks to one another, well selected art pieces and perfectly placed. Dream home !!!
Great home and great interior design, David. David, you look familiar. I may have seen you or met you at a rare book event or an ethnographic art event in Southern California, where I live and do much of my collecting. If I see you at another such event, I'll be sure to say hello.
Whatever insurance policy this guy has, I want it.
What a wonderful , humble person you are.
I loved the African pieces especially the boat full of people.
Thankyou for showing your lovely home. May you enjoy every single moment in it .
Boote voller Menschen können Sie heute auf dem Mittelmeer besichtigen...😂😂😂
the art you own it's absolutely amazing, I'm completely speechless. Well done.
What an amazing collection of African art. I've never seen a collection of African art so similar to mine. Thank you for sharing. If you allow tours, I would love to one day see your collection in person.
Thank you for sharing your art filled home. It was a blessing to see the pieces that surround the space.
I wish that my art gallery here in Jamaica will be as beautiful as this place.
Very beautiful & unusual pieces of art. Extremely loved the concept of the house.
An obviously very wealthy man of exquisite taste and sensibility, really very impressive to see 👏
That insurance check must have paid off

I’m speechless (in a good way)...
Beautiful~
Coming from NY Town House collection. Yes, he IS RIGHT. This is the Musem house with themes of arts.
And my type.
I love that Indian weaving in the center wall of dining room. This is TX and wondering how he got so many arts and organized them plus house building in so fast.
Impressive enough. Love that museum house esp the light, the wall and the whole architecture design are exactly as THE MUSEM in mini scale. And this is A REAL art collector. I would like to sit here to APPRICIATE each piece of arts that my eyes and brain won't feel bored instead of that tacky NY box house without book wall but MONEY, MONEY STILL MONEY.
It shows this owner knows the meanings of life with a fine quality.🙂
Heehaa, TX. Should have some more American Indian arts.
"Wow this house has amazing Architecture."
A Beautiful Home!
Wonderful architecture
Amazing!!!
Is the house design available , if so please share
Woow beautiful Home nad Collectin.
Amazing, incredible👍👍👍.
Beutiful, Beutiful HOME!
Beautiful
David thank you for your tour! I'm sure your wife is as interesting an individual as you are. Tell her I envy her for finding my perfect man!
I wish to visit one day
Lovely host. Beautiful house.
My dream house
Beautiful home and a nice guy!
Note to the homeowner, when you speak about your western art, you refer to the pieces by the artists' names. However, when you speak of your "African" art, it's just "tribal African art". At the very least, you could give the art pieces (and their creators) the respect they deserve, by mentioning the specific countries and cultures in the very vast African continent from which they emerged. Americans and this whole "Africa" thing is weird.
Get over yourself.
My thoughts immediately. He doesnt even know how he sounded in those moments, speaks volumes to his person. The art piece on the wall was trash btw my niece could have made that.
Is it that troubling to you? Do you police every word people speak?
@@prometheusr I do, yes.
@@Christine-Tina Don't be a twerp.
Very inspiring
Beautiful house!
That looks northern european style. Really nice.
I would like to know more about this owner and how he accumulated his wealth . I would love to be able to build such a house ! Thanks
He owns mineral rights.
I like the two story library. But it needed more book shelves ;)
Awesome ❤️👌🏾
LOVE IT!!
