        it’s real. the ‘millionaire’ sold a startup for $340m. the homes are in new brunswick and cost $50k ea to build and furnish. the land was $500k. the houses are ~ 240-300 sq ft tiny homes. rent (at the time that source was written) starts at $200.

      Almost certainly. Having $1M is unremarkable these days. Technically a millionaire is someone with more than a million and less than a billion, but usually these days it refers to people with hundreds of millions.

        A million could buy you like… Two houses. Maybe 3 or 4 at a push if they’re small.

          House on my street recently sold for a bit over a million. 3 bed, 2 bath, ok view of the ocean, on a quarter acre. Ludicrous.

            With an ocean view and that big a house? Damn cheap

            (Crying in a town where lots are in “square feet”, because no one has lots that big)

          Yeah, not up here in the northeast. Maybe two condos if they’re small enough and old enough
