Bill Gates says he has no plans to downsize from his $130 million mansion.
00:05
The billionaire bought the Lake Washington home in 1988 for just $2 million.
00:10
Nicknamed Xanadu 2.0, the 66,000 square foot mansion has six kitchens,
00:15
24 bathrooms, a trampoline room, indoor pools, sports courts, a sauna, and oddly just seven
00:21
bedrooms. Gates recently told the Times that while the property is gigantic, he just can't part with
00:26
it, even as his fellow empty-nester siblings downsize from their homes. The Microsoft founder
00:32
poured $63 million in seven years of renovations into the mansion to make sure everything was just
00:38
right. But in a 2008 interview with Fortune, his ex-wife Melinda said the house was a bachelor's
00:43
dream and a bride's nightmare.
