Michelle Obama Rents $23M ‘Shark House' Mansion for L.A. Visit
2019-07-12
[Breitbart] Michelle Obama reportedly rented a $23 million home in the Hollywood Hills this week amid speculation the former first family is considering a move to Los Angeles.
A bit closer to their dealer.
According to TMZ, Obama stayed in the new-construction pad known as the "Shark House" because it is outfitted with an "open-air aquarium" with various types of sharks. The entertainment outlet said there is "incredible security" at the home, but it was shut off while Obama stayed Monday and Tuesday. "One realtor, who’s very well connected in the area, tells TMZ the buzz is that Michelle might be scoping out the neighborhood and/or that particular house to set down roots," the site reported.

Mercury News reports:
The "ultra modern, glossy and boxy" home is a spec house, built for ultra-exclusive clientele to rent or buy.
Frankly, I was hoping for something even 'boxier.'
The three-story home has seven bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, two pools, a "wellness center," a massage room, a movie theater, a wine room and a special freezer for tequila and vodka.

As for the shark "pond," real estate agent Sam Real of Nest Seekers International told Curbed Los Angeles that it is an uncovered 300-gallon tank, filled with stingrays, starfish, small houndsharks and other types of sharks. Behind the pond rises a living wall. Several stepping stones cross the tank, so that homeowners can watch their fish, "do yoga or read a newspapers and whatever you want to do," Real said.
"Whatever you want to do".... which is pretty much what both of them have always done.
Watch Real tour the home below:

#9  You'd think she'd want the elephant house.

Is there a Wookie preserve she could chill at?

#7  My cistern is 3000 gallons. We fill it with water we purchase, $.75/350 gallons. I use my Chevy pick up to transport the water. No sharks, but my Mrs. Thimp sings very loud when hauling water.

#6  I just setup our above ground pool. I beleive it's about 800 Gallon.

No sharks but it does occasionally feature a hyperactive 7 year old...

#5  An 'uncovered 300-gallon tank' isn't really that large. More like a large bathtub.

Add a zero (heh!) and it would be somewhat more interesting.

#1, I would suggest they stay there until the "Big One" dumps them and a portion of the coastline into the sea.
