Besides the recent edition of a bulletproof front door, the billionaire also enjoys a $100,000 stone staircase which was constructed using 150 year old carving techniques; an indoor swimming pool of course, with gold-plated mosaic tiles; as well as a one tone bathroom basin carved from one single piece of Iranian onyx.  This guy knows how to be frugal, does he not? 

But I guess if you’re worth $7.83 billion, you can afford not to be, eh?  Speaking of which, I think I myself would like to get paid in British pounds…..
