let s talk about this beautiful rotunda up here with this stained glass. this glass, it s by an artist named bogenrief, him and his son. it took him a few years to piece it together, and it was over half a million dollars. what i want to do is do a mirror image of that window on the floor, and i want to use, like, real semiprecious gemstones. so, jackie, you know, when you look at the situation, people will say why? this is how many square feet? this home is 90,000 square feet, but we re probably gonna add like a guest house and a tennis club. 90,000 square feet, 30 bathrooms yeah, over 14 bedrooms. over 14 bedrooms, 9 kitchens and that includes a commercial kitchen. right. multiple dining areas. yes. bowling alleys and everything else what is the motivation behind this? we didn t plan on building the largest home in america, but by the time like, i wanted a health spa, david
A work in progress. the 90,000-square-foot house was set to contain 13 bedrooms, 30 bathrooms, a bowling alley, indoor swimming pool guess what? a 20-car garage. the sprawling estate was about 60% completed when the economy crashed back in 08, almost taking all of westgate and all of siegel s fortunes with it. david and jackie were forced to stop all construction on versailles and eventually list a half-built mansion for sale with a price tag of $100 million. the entire ordeal became part of the documentary the queen of versailles. but the economy improved, westgate resorts came back, and, again, the siegels bounced back, and in the end, the versailles estate it was never sold. construction it ramped up again. then last summer, tragedy struck. the siegels were faced with every parent s worst nightmare, the death of their child. 18-year-old victoria siegel
Ask your dermatologist about humira. because with humira clearer skin is possible. david and jackie siegels project to build themselves the largest home in america has survived some major setbacks. jackie has not been back to the site since her daughter died, but has vowed to get the project on track and agreed to show us around. walking down this area here, it reminds me of being in one of those magnificent cathedrals, for example, that you ll see in different parts of the world, particularly in europe. yeah. and tell us about this great room. it s so big that you can actually put a four-story building in here, but that s how tall our ceilings are. what we plan on doing is having some spectacular charity events here. that s why i wanted a great room, and especially now that we have our victoria s voice foundation, we ll probably have a huge kickoff party. sure. .in memory of her.
Some other things you re gonna add on. yeah. .and change. and david will never know until it s finished, right? or until he watches your show. that s exactly right. [ chuckles ] coming up next. you may have heard of safe rooms, but you probably think it s not something you need or a luxury item you can t afford. you ll be surprised to hear what we ve learned. so stick around.
