Those with the inclination, sensibility, and means have long collected objects of beauty, refinement, inspiration, and innovation. Among the latest status symbols being acquired by the rich and famous are landmark homes by A-list architects such as Tadao Ando, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Richard Neutra. Costs and responsibilities for owning and maintaining a golden nugget of architectural derring-do by a world-renowned architect, however, go far beyond the purchase price. Oracle founder Larry Ellison, a prolific collector of real estate rarities including the entire Hawaiian island of Lanai and a Japanese-inspired California compound built without nails, certainly knows a thing or two about the conscientious stewardship of extraordinary homes. |
