Tech billionaires dominate the news, but Bill Gates has been in the spotlight for the right reasons in recent weeks. After forecasting the coronavirus epidemic in a 2015 Ted Talk, Gates has subsequently defined the next phase of the worldwide pandemic and committed to dedicate his foundation’s resources to fighting it. Trying to rescue the globe from a pandemic makes you need a house to relieve some of the tension. Bill Gates has a $43 million beachside house.

The philanthropist and his wife, Melinda Gates, bought a Del Mar beach mansion from Madeline Pickens, ex-wife of billionaire oil magnate T. Boone Pickens. The property has outstanding features, as expected of a Bill Gates residence.

Ken Ronchetti, a famous architect-designer, built the 5,800-square-foot living area in 1999. It has six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and two guesthouses, providing everything you need to survive lockdown.

There’s more if you’re wondering why all that would cost so much. Wellness spa, glass tile pool, tennis court, and home theater are located at the seaside mansion. According to reports, the fire pit-view hot tub can hold 10 people. As expected, the mansion’s interior is meticulously decorated with lime-stone flooring.

The property’s selling brochures state, “Everywhere, there is an interplay of the finest woods and stone, including mahogany and clear fir cabinetry and lattice ceilings,” according to The Mercury News. Getty stone inlays, traditional oak sandstone patios, and imported limestone flooring provide unmatched grandeur and artistry.”

The inside is outfitted with the best woods and stone, and glass walls dissolve into spectacular exteriors that open up the home and bring the stunning scenery inside.

The property was bought in late March in one of the area’s largest acquisitions, according to the Wall Street Journal. Just one glance at the property photos explains why.
