It's not a Ballroom, it's a Throne Room

King of the World…a 90,000 square foot majestic stone building with open space and a gigantic kitchen. Every despot’s dream, right?

Just think: lines of limousines carrying the world’s billionaires, industrialists, and statesmen pulling up daily to petition the anointed one for costly favors and deals. I guarantee you that the crown is already designed and in production. The adjective “majestic” is literally accurate in this case.

This is not hypothetical or satire. This is Caligula on steroids.

Throughout history, around the globe, tyrants have demanded that monuments be built to honor them.

Ozymandias - By Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
