Castles Don't Come Cheap!

Living like a princess, or a supermodel-turned-President's wife, will cost you a pretty penny!

The childhood home of French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is up for sale once again. The castle is in the Italian hills of Turin and boasts the price tag of $28 million!

With 40 rooms, the castle also comes with 175 acres of land including vegetable gardens, ancient greenhouses and a caretaker's residence.

Carla lived there with her family as a kid until they moved to Paris in the '70s.

Sounds pretty lush to us!

      some people are born to have a nice life.
      people think its just coincidence but it isnt.
      there is no equality people, not in this planet. people are not equal.
      each person is born with the burdens they must carry, some in poverty and hard life, some in luxury and easiness. depends what you deserve. so better watch out and become a better person in this life to have a better life in the next

      First of all she's not French, like the post says she was born in Italy.
      Second, you must really be an idiot to use the "French people don't wash themselves" card.

      Re: Willys Bong – Why wouldn't she go through men like toilet paper? She was born with tons of money, she's gorgeous, and sophisticated. She dated Mick Jaggar while he was with Jerry Hall. She lived with her lover and left her lover for his biological son who she seduced. It's not only men who live this way - women live this way too. Most people, if they have all the advantages in life don't really have any character. She only married Sarkozy b/c she gets to be first lady. She'll leave him once that gig is up or he will leave her. Theirs is not a love match.

      She's been passed around for years.

      Trust me; castles are NOT all they are cracked up to be. I'm with Carla on this one. They are too big for the average family hence using waaay too much resources to keep them going. IF I ever get back to BP in England; I plan to turn it into a live-in experiential setting for individuals who are entering my new "live-well" exist-stance. Just imagine getting the original Freedom Writers to live-in at the Palace for a semester!! Then Carla and I could have a lot of fun getting a fantastic mentoring program going world-wide. I only live in a small rented room in somebody else's basement right now; BUT I have plans. LIKE; sharing what God wants to bless me with. Keep it up sister. Me and some other terrorists were laughing ourselves silly when you went to England in 2008. There you are; all serious and stuff. All those idiot women reporters could do was look at your fashion statement. I know, I know…. I don't see the sense of leaving my summer cottage vacant the rest of the year. I think it would be a superb think-tank location for budding entrepreneurs. Don't you??? Then; I have friends to vacation WITH.
