- House Tours, a video that can only end amazingly, or horrifically. Today, we look at the latter. We're gonna be watching a house tour of Petra Ecclestone's giant, golden mansion. Spoiler alert, it's not pretty.

Imagine building a mansion with 200+ million dollars only for it to turn out to be more of a mess than a middle school in 2021
Yh
It literally looks like a school building from the outside
@Mr feast oh doesn't mean much the house still looks terrible
zhongli has spoken it's ugly in my eyes now
@@quackquackDUCKS Yes
At the end: "This was actually just the dog house..."
My soul would literally escape from body... again.
“The dog is so lucky to have the natural light”

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
About the "permitting laws": so many super-rich people were buying old houses in London and having sub-basements added for pools, gyms, etc. that there was a backlash from their neighbors who found the work to be disruptive and even caused damage to their own homes. They changed the laws to limit this type of construction.
It looks like they bought a lovely early 19th century Regency style house, gutted it and built a 1980s Las Vegas casino inside.
also caused mass flooding
@MrHolyKindness They are, just found an Architectural Digest article about it.
I'm not into house decorations stuff, but such things really pains me :(
Man wrote a whole paragraph
@@vlad1200 so?
This is like when you build a Minecraft house out of the physical ore blocks
Yet also a million times uglier...
@MrHolyKindness Gian can't even fix it.
Remember when lukethenotable made his tower out of emerald blocks at like 300 days in minecraft all because he had nothing to spend all his emeralds on?
@@mergat2970 luke is pretty cool i admit but i wish that tower would go down like 9/11
POV: when you finally use quartz to build a house
I just don’t understand the purpose of getting a house this huge when ur never gonna use 70 percent of the rooms in it
Yeah
Ikr, like they admit they don’t really have people over, like that’s sad
It is just for show-off.
The closet is mostly empty, with just a few pieces here and there to make it look fuller.
Seriously! Even the appliances. 3 fridges? 2 dishwashers? When are you ever gonna fill those?
As an investment
There's rich people that actually know what they're doing with their money and then there's rich people that just.. spend money on the dumbest, ugliest shit.
Like that rapper who has a bunch of cool cars but can't drive? I think its Cardi B
Yeah they only spend money on expensive things but shitty just to show off and show to everyone how much money they have
Well said, you are spot on - especially with this couple
The difference is between becoming and being born rich. People who become rich are smart while people who are already spend the most they can without thinking and think that putting gold everywhere makes it beautiful
@@anynonymous1585 cardi b can't drive at all time.
You know as awful as this mansion is and how much it puts me into "eat the rich" mode...making those ice cream lamps based off her daughter's drawing is actually really sweet. That's a really cool thing they did for her.
These houses are always so cold and sterile. They never actually look like a HOME. Where is the evidence that people actually live there!?
It's one of many homes owned by the Ecclestone family. Probably spend a night there every five years...
I agree, it looks like a museum
I know if I were rich I’d build a home that doesn’t feel like a fucking warehouse
I don't think that this house looks ether cold or sterile, it looks insane. It looks like the interiors were chosen by a deranged magpie.
That being said, this couple has apparently relocated to LA, so you are quite correct, I don't think that anyone actually lives there.
I thought the opposite. This house actually looks cluttered with personal items. I personally know people with more cold and sterile houses.
Yes the Karen from yesterday’s video didn’t find him and break his arms. I’m relieved 😅
So am I 😅
Its a relief
*YET*
@@joshuarobinson25 yeah, yet.
She was arrested, when she’s released then she will come for him

It’s official, Ugly mansions are a Series.
Sir, drugs are indeed "whack".
u tried the wrong ones
It seems you took some real shady drugs
did the drugs fuckin take you?
"What kind of animal would you like me to make for you out of gold?"
"Up to you surprise us."
"I present you.. worm."
No.... The weiner worm 🪱
Her closet alone is literally the size of my entire apartment, bedrooms and bathroom included
And yet she's wearing... What she's wearing
Same here. And also she says this closet is "every girl's dream". I can unequivocally confirm that this is not the case- because a closet like this is my idea of hell. I would be scared to touch anything in this "closet". There is an entire shelf that just has one pair of sandals on it which probably cost more than my yearly income. Spending this much on things to cover your skin is obscene. I grant you that I am on the extreme end of things, but I have legitimately spent $15 total on clothes in the past year- and I would stick to this budget even if I had crazy amounts of money. Not knocking anyone who enjoys fancy clothes- just don't say it's "every girl".
I will sue everyone that made this mansion.
lmao
The house was built in the 18th century, I think you'd struggle to sue the original architects. They're probably far too busy turning in their graves looking at what's been done to their work to respond.
unfortunately thats what you can get with £100m in the Uk, for the rich if you want to buy a bigger home then its around £400m and thats around $500m - $600m. dont under-estimate england lads
I would pay to see that.
Make it a class action. Im in.
I will say: that crystal fixture on the roof of the foyer is absolutely beautiful. I wouldn't be able to stop staring at it.
Only nice thing in the house, legit.
Only nice thing except for the fish tank though
@@levislens776 Tbf besides the kitchen and few other rooms I actually really like it.
That was the worst part imo. Looks like a dirty water filter.
The fish tank also
it burned my eyes
Ok, I would actually love to have a theater in my house, but most of this house just looks like a really upscale hotel--as opposed to something you'd actually want to settle down in.
This actually make an awful lot of sense. They just visited luxury hotels and were like "You know what, I think I can make this in my own house"
And the end result we can see in this video...
Even the way they dress, you can feel the total lack of style in it.
This is a house to show off, not to be lived in. Look close at the closet, it is mostly empty!
Look at the basement, it looks like a dying mall. The whole house lacks taste.
I'm gonna say this the garden and trees outside actually look kinda good
That's because Petra wasn't responsible for those, they've been there for decades.
The wallpaper in the bar/living room looked like cellophane wrapped over gold painted metal.
IKR! I think that's what it actually is.
OMG... I thought exactly the same thing! It looked just like gold cellophane.
Looks like they spray-painted tin foil lol
It's so nice seeing a house like this while owned by jokers that never worked a day in their life while Britain is full of food banks in every town for folk that work all their life but can hardly afford to pay the rent!
Why are you so butthurt
Welcome to society
@Abe Steinberg My man, the reason people look down on communist countries is primarily its inability to keep its people fed, and now you’re suggesting someone move to a communist country because of complaints of people going hungry?
Agree theres people starving and theres these fools probably never worked a day in their life, using it for useless shit.
By the way you guys are raising the UK financial conversation. It's just how the goverment of the country that has lots of food banks, extremely high renting prices, people barely getting government help and then there are these people, not to blame them of course.
Imagine if they decided to just pay their workers a bit more ...
I heard a really scary urban legend today that some people don't have houses or enough money to buy basic needs, anyway I'm going to plate the walls with gold to reflect the natural light😊
If this is what being rich does to your sense of style.... I wanna be dirt poor 😂😂
We all know this is one huge cap for everyone.
🧢
it isn't, they're just imbeciles.
these rich people really got so much money they don't know how to spend it
@@only_king_chris_ dont group all of us into one podunk category
I just realized that I am not mad at people like this for not knowing what normal life is like. How were they supposed to? Living on minimum wage or homeless for a week or even a month.. It's not the same as reality. They know an end is near and they can bail when they want. Also, some rich people are probably literally ignorant to "normal" life. They were raised that way. How can we expect them to know something they have never been taught or exposed to? (I live frugally and still have to borrow from family at the end of the month lately, and I was homeless for many years just for context. )
Yes this is why we need communism
Imagine if we lived in a world where the parents raised their kids to work for their money instead of just handing it to them to shut them up about their natural light in the basement
that is wrong. you have rich people teaching their kids how to live a normal life. the hiltons even made the sisters work, more or less normal jobs. some multimillionaires are trying not to leave huge amounts of money for their children.
just because you are rich doesn't mean you don't know the value of things, paying 500 bucks for a hamburger looks bad, no mater if you have money to burn.
@J Garcia At least they tried. And for the record, by all accounts Paris Hilton is a lovely person. Yeah, I found it hard to believe too, I used to HATE her, but everyone who's worked with her has said she's really sweet and down to earth. The act she puts on in public is just that, an act. That's not even her real voice she uses when she's on camera, in reality she's very intelligent, kind, and a sharp businesswoman in her own right.
@@nxibba I know you most likely said this ironically, but for all those who believe in communism: it ain't as rainbows and unicorns as you might think, and there would still be an upper class and an authority figure, so all your doing is trading in your freedom for nothing in return. Go visit North Korea for some perspective.
This is how you ruin the quaintness of old British houses.
Architect: " How Gold do You want This To be? "
Them: " Yes "
"How much gold spray paint do you got?"
"Well we haven't gotten any yet, so how much do you want?"
"You see that row of gold spray paint in the Walmart down the road?"
"Yes?"
*"Get all of it."*

Spectacular and utterly Gastly...
AugustTheDuck: The all mighty dollar. Arguably the most powerful item in the planet.
Mr. Krabs, Scrooge McDuck & Wario: FACTS!
Lol fr
@Zero Bullet's Facts.
I love seeing people with more money than they know what to do with pay millions for a piece of art that looks like it came out of some preschool classrooms garbage bin
This house looks like a cruiseship from inside. Not many and small windows, close corridors and gold and brown accents everywhere.
She’s one of the people that build there Minecraft house of our gold and diamond blocks.
Honestly it looks like it would be depressing to live in… if I was paying that much for a mansion I’d at least get a good one.
My favourite part of watching these rich elitist types is the all familiar soulless look in there eyes, it’s something all the spoon fed ones share.
The “Joel Olsteen” stare.
I think the word “natural light” might have been overused. Just a little bit though;\
Especially as all that gold gave the natural light a sick yellow taint tint
It's so violently gold
spend all you want but it still ain’t beating my Minecraft dirt house
Or my dirt castle
Exactly
I have diamond house in creative 🙂
the best thing in this house was the fish tank, everything else was horrible. Rich people are buck wild lol
Me too! Although I might cover the whole tank with brown Kraft paper to spare the poor fish the sight of the ugly kitchen!
Sounds like a double house to me, double fridge, double wine cooler, double sink, double freezer etc...
i'm surprised they didn't paid scientist to make a new species of golden or crystal-like plant to put in their garden
Oh they did, but the resultant plant kept trying to eat people. Plus it just wasn't the right shade of gold.
When I saw the video thumbnail I thought it would be stupid to call a 19th century home an ugly mansion, then when I saw the rest of the home 100% agreed with you.
They keep going on about the “natural light”, but all the rooms look so gloomy and claustrophobic. Mainly because every surface has been padded, gilded, bedazzled, over-decorated, and artificially lit.
They clearly don’t know what Art Deco is. One of my favorite architectural styles; involves very geometric, symmetrical shapes involving black, gold, silver, and white; Typically black and gold. The 1920s was the Art Deco’s home time. The Great Gatsby takes place in the 20s and I think you said it best, “it looks like New Jersey instead of New York. They missed the open clean concept of Art Deco, and instead made a strip club meets Austin Powers: Goldmember.
I would never get a house that could hold more than 4 people, at this point, the “house” is a hotel. I would never get it because I would get lost, be REALLY lonely, and WOW! It’s expensive.
And imagine the electricity and water bill.
But what if you had a large family?
Tysm for uploading these amazing videos, these always help me when I've had a bad day and I'm always so glad to see them, I always have a good laugh and I'm glad I subscribed
Even the 'children's play area' has the muted miserable ambience of the Overlook Hotel.
It is pretty good because there are swimming pools, gym, and other more. The problem is just too much gold and they spent a lot of money on some useless gold decorations. They probably thought that gold would make their house luxurious and rich, but that's way too much gold. And I am not really a fan of their house. They have every room you can think of like the pools, gym, and surely a guest room. I would prioritize on security and safety since you have a lot of money.
Also it doesn’t feel like a home at all, it feels like a warehouse
I'm like a swimming pools but I not sure really like gym
It's like a 9 year old built his first gold Minecraft home in creative 😂😂
This looks like when im trying to get the trophy for the most expensive mansion in the sims so i just use the most expensive items no matter how ugly they are.
I feel like they think they are so rich they can afford anything gold and therefore gold equals luxury. I mean ya they're filthy rich...but that much gold comes off tacky even to my mid middle class arse.
Would still LOVE to live there instead of the poor excuse of a shelter I've been living in all my life. :(
This house has shown up in my nightmares 100%. a basement that just keeps going and going and going with so many rooms
Looks like a creepypasta set
Reminds me of the backrooms
This looks like a James Bond villain's lair
The living room in this mansion has to be one of the ugliest I’ve ever seen. And they probably spent like 10 million on it.
the Gatsby reference coming from this guy was especially funny because that book is literally about how empty the lives of rich people are
Ah, yes. After hearing of the 1974 movie "The man with the golden gun", this couple decided to go beyond and become "The couple with the golden house"
The house isn’t even the worst part her outfit is. Like why is she wearing a white turtleneck shirt with a cream colored suit and light blue jeans. That is one of those outfits that your designer chooses for you and you have no other choice than where that even if you don’t like it.
And we call those high-water psnts....so short you can wide through high water.....and why a salon when she has no hair🤔?
3:44 this dude literally liked Creme Brulee so much that he put it on his damn ceiling.
I am not sure I would have been able to endure this tour without your commentary. You nailed it.
fun fact about that 150,000 crystal chandelier. swarovsky crystals (what the guy says it's made of) are literally worthless because they're literally just glass. the only reason they go for high prices it because of their brand. you could get similar if not the exact same crystals for dirt cheap from numerous other companies because they're just glass.
The outside looks like a rundown apartment
That’s what I was thinking😭
The Sovereign Queen herself would throw up from this place. AND SHE IS GOLD!
Can you give her location? I mean, if she's gonna puke gold bars.... XD
this is what I'd try to make in the Sims 4 while almost overdosing on ecstasy
I went to Africa for 3 months when I was 15, and it entirely changed the way I view things. As a lower class American I am considered rich to most of the world. But I've lived in 'luxury' for so long that I don't even realize it. But going to Africa has really changed my views and helped me expand my brain A LOT.
Don't worry man with all these views you'll be able to buy a sweet place like this one no time!! 😅 love the content keep it up
X to doubt lol
August is apparently now a connoisseur of homes I wonder what his mansion look like
August would never show us his place, but I bet it's interesting haha.
@@Customgamer1 I think he mentioned in a video that he's in college, so it's probably a dorm room.
He showed his kitchen in the Pink Sauce video he put out last week. It's pretty sweet
Just imagine how lonely it would be to live in there. They have classical music playing in the background, but when your walking through that house, everybody is asleep and your walking through that giant hallway just to get a midnight snack, there must be a moment in there where you reflect on what brought you to that moment in life, in that dark massive kitchen with everybody asleep in the gloomy house because mommy and daddy have money
Them: "I am significantly, Significantly richer than you!"
Also, the house has absolutely no personality. It looks like every rich kids wet dream, but there's nothing that gives it personality. No family photos, just nothing...
Yeah, lady, I'm sure you and your "friend" worked very hard on the bedroom(nudge! nudge! wink! Wink!) I can't help but think the architects aand building contractors laughed all the way to the fucking bank
That must've been like a robbery to them. Like all they had to do was make the ugliest house ever and they got their retirement money
Did you see that weird statue in the corner of the primary bedroom??😂😂 I thought only I saw it
I just want a big piece of land so I can just have a bunch of animals and take care of them all. Most expensive thing would be the big, planted aquarium that I've always wanted, filled with fish people dump because they got too big. The actual house would need a office for all my writing and a spare bedroom for when my mother sleeps over.
🥰
You are a precious human being
Yay
Honestly, that sounds lovely, good luck to you.
It's nice you thought of your mum. 🤗
This house has to be a nightmare to walk around in, you probably need to walk like 10 minutes to go from the room you were in to the room you want to be in
there's something very off and eerie about rich people's homes like this, it reminds me of kim and kanye's all-white concrete palace that looks as though nobody has ever actually lived there. even though they have kids, you don't see toys or books or games in the house, there's rarely any evidence that a family has lived in it. everything is spotless, there's no clutter like mail or laundry, you probably couldn't even find fingerprints and discarded hair anywhere in that house. kids are messy! the only clue that the house is inhabited is a couple of photos. why is that, and why would you want to live like a ghost? I'm halfway convinced all these people actually live in secret bunkers deep under the house and the rest of it is just for showing off their wealth. why else would you dig 50m underground and install an 80s Bond villain lair down there?
They do weird shit in these kinds of homes with they friends. All that space is unnecessary.
I wonder too, especially with all that space. I just don’t get why the house has to be SO huge unless like 10 people are gonna be living there.
I've always hated large mansions. The insides are like a fucking maze.
Yeah and it's creepy
They look so stale and look like a warehouse
Whoever built that house and everything in it is swimming in rich people's poor choices. If I was an richman I'll make sure, my house is fitted to my liking and not just throw everything expensive around 🤣kinda got me interested into architecture. Just put something together and make it gold.
I actually really like the lower level with the kids indoor playground, pool, gym, and the way you step into it over the water feature. The salon and cinema too. I have always had a bit of my grandmothers love for tacky things though, so that may be clouding my judgement. The main floor is just over the top to me though. The little girl's bedroom is super cute, but the master bedrooms are so over-the-top that it makes me feel sick! The staggering wealth is just insane...
To save you time: Panther in old hotel, bad script (probably trying to act like a tv show thing), big chandaliers, flexing money, ugly. Dont forget NaTUraL LiGhT
Dude your videos make my day❤️ THANK YA YOU GREAT DUCK 🦆
the aquarium is nice and that's the nicest thing I have to say.
“It has like 60 something species of fish” Idk but I’d love for this jackass to try to name even one of those species
Watching this video made me rather hungry, I think I'm craving a certain financial class of people
Eat The Rich
The child's bedroom I don't have my own bathroom... I DONT EVEN HAVE A CLOSET!
Your telling me this costs 240 Mil?! Hell naw I'll pass thanks.
Ummm...I find myself scratching my head on this one. There were only a few parts that I would consider a bit ugly, but that's speculative. I can certainly see how someone might like it. You made a lot more comments about snobby rich people than you did about the aesthetic of the mansion. It seemed like your primary object here was to dis wealthy people. I would suggest retitling your video to something like "Rich People Tilt Me".
I just don't understand why can't rich people like this can't see the value of having a homey home
Take a shot every time natural light is said
Okay I woulda loved that play area as a kid tho
It looks fun 🙈
The outdoor look of this house is literally painfull - it's how old Polish schools (and some prisons) look like.
They keep stressing the importance of the natural light, but in every single case (except that large glass decoration) that light is overwhelmed by a ridiculous amount of warm LEDs, so it just clashes uncomfortably. If they valued natural light, they would use it better.
I actually saw very little natural light in that house. Just room after room of ugly clutter.
@@221BBakerStreet I've lived in London and I'd say that was about as much as you can hope for.
@@s.v.berezin1562 If they can afford to dig 50 metres into the basement to put in a "Wellness Centre" they can afford to knock down a couple of walls and install some floor to ceiling windows.
That kitchen looks like it caught fire and they didn't change out the charred metal and plastic. Seriously one of the least appetizing colors to surround you while preparing food. On a real note though, the fish tank is awesome.
It just feels like too much in a house. It looks pretentious also it’s too much gold and beige.
This house looks like the first time I played creative mode in minecraft
0:34 idk why but this shot remembered me about a show named The Hunter Family
Them: "Come and look around!"
Me: "Do I have to?"
My mind: "Yes, you must and have no choice."
My first rifle was $250 when I was a kid, and I had to save for a year and half for it. My parents almost didn’t let my buy it because it was to expensive to them, then a grew up and started to see people like this and wondered how such a gap in lifestyles could exist. Millions, just crazy to think about.
there's no ethical way to even be that rich. even if you aquire it via inheritance due to generational wealth. because how did the ancestors aquire the wealth. unethically thats for sure. it's blood money.
the rich also don't spend it. they hoard it. creating even bigger wealth gaps between the rich and the common man. they sit on most of the country's money, whilst the majority have to live off scraps. and when they do spend it, they don't spend it in local economies because that would make everyone richer. and rich people like the exclusivity.
*When you realize you wasted Millions just to Pay Extra Bills:*
the amount of light here actually hurts I feel that I would go blind one day staying in this place thats bigger than a mansion
In like 5 years that daughter will hate that room
This channel makes me genuinely mad/disgusted every time I watch one of its videos.
Good job, you earned a subscriber.
This looks like its just golden, expensive stuff thrown together...
I like it
This is like building a huge mansion or secret base on your minecraft world that no one is ever going to see.
I like how half the light bulbs in their $240,000,000 gold mansion are burned out.
Who ever created this mansion I want to say something
Don’t drop the soap in hell
So a Sims player who spams Motherlode but doesn’t have a concept of how to decorate so they just buy the most expensive furniture they can without making the house make sense?
Nice.
not gunna lie, that stepping stone water feature looked nice, but thats basically it xD
I could never find myself enjoying living in a house like this.
