This luxury beach front house is flawless. Just the thing if you are a rich Hollywood movie star, right? Yet, like all properties in a sinking economy, it is going for much less than it was just a few years ago.

Now you can be tucked up in bed watching your latest movie for a cool $29 million. But before the crash of 2008, according to Home-Reviews, this house sold for $37.5 million.

This seems like a shocking price drop. I thought America’s top 1% was not washed away like the rest of us.

If you are a Hollywood star who had $37.5 million for a house four years ago, surely you still have it?

Don’t Hollywood movie stars still get the same pay?

Just what is scrupulously perfect design worth, anyway?

Even the decorating is carefully thought out. Notice the outdoor fireplace.

I’m not one for knick-knacks, but look at the shapes of the bottles, the trees and these white things on the table.

I think its perfect. But I am not in the market for million dollar homes.

Maybe it’s just too wholesome for today’s top 1%. The house does not look corrupt enough. It has a sweet, hedonistic and straightforward vibe. I see a happy family gathering here for some afternoon strawberries and cream, don’t you? – Not a power lunch of Arctic-melt caviar with endangered polar bear fritters.
