Just think what that money could have done to help people instead of having it buff some fool's ego.

Everybody's crowing 'bout the cement pond. Hell, the real amenity is the root cellar for Granny's rheumatiz medicine.

That is a 75’ CementPond,for the novice.

More tax cuts for millionaires so they can spread the wealth.

Forget the price, the Beverly Hillbillies mansion is in Bel-Air?!

*cement pond

Must've been that 75-foot SEE-ment pond. Sealed the deal! BeverlyHillbillies

Comes with a 75 foot Cement Pond. Awesome

Did an American buy this home?

Nice Fetch. I bet OJ'S House gets more.

When sales like this occur why do the media celebrate it? Why not investigate to see if this isn’t just money laundering? 150M for a 40M mansion sounds like crap to me.

gross

DaraZaneScully And a C-Ment pond with critters!!

Is the cement pond included?

I was going to reply about the cement pond but thought I’d check the responses first. I figured if someone else had already tweeted it there was still hope for humanity.

Yea Bezos wanted a spare house for his dogs when they are in Beverly Hills for their quick monthly grooming..

Shouldn’t that say it comes with a 75 foot cement pond?

You meant 'CeeMent' Pond', right?

No. Cement pond. Y’all come back now ya here.

Well ya know... The 1% really, really needed that tax cut. We couldn't have them living in only 100 million dollar mansions, could we? Slumming!

Is that ce-met pond o-limpit sized?

Ce-ment pond. Fancy eatin’ table with pot passers.

The Beverly Hillbillies estate comes with a ballroom, custom wine vault (which can hold 12,000 bottles), and a 75-foot CE-MENT POND. Fixed!

Live reaction of the realtor at the signing.

If you look at the bottom, you can see the fading actors moving out of Hollywood, as roles are drying up. Typical.

Let me guess: a foreign buyer.

Not a 75-foot swimming pool. It's a 75-foot cee-ment pond.

*75 foot cement pond.

Truly amazing property!!😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍

Guess the tax cuts aren't going towards creating jobs.

If the main house has 18 bedrooms, what’s the point of the guest house?

Authorities scrutinizing Twitter account in Florida naval air station attackInvestigators are scrutinizing a Twitter account they suspect is linked to the Saudi air force officer who carried out a deadly attack at Naval Air Station Pensacola on Friday, a source familiar with the case tells CNN. My question why are we training these people so they can use it against us? and why are the coming here? It appears the Saudi’s are not our friends and can’t be trusted. Get them out of all our bases and send them home!! Two attacks at Naval bases days apart. Each had multiple victims. One had an American shooter and one had a foreign shooter. Notice we hear nothing about the one involving the American. I thought Trump wanted to be able to do that to people coming into the US.. it would be a really good idea to do that to people coming in from SA.
