People really live like this.

Posted on 06:44 by gaurav kumar
Sometimes people with tons of money spend it in ridiculous ways. And sometimes they spend it in awesome ways. Enter two examples of the latter: A writer who pens his tomes at a Costa Rican retreat (above), which also stores his 16,000 books. Yowza!

Also, architect and IKEA-designer Olle Lundberg lives with his wife in a salvaged car ferry, found in Iceland and now tied to a pier in San Francisco.

The couple also has an utterly insane Northern Californian cabin made of mostly reused materials. (More photos here.)
