This is elegance! No minimalistic pay-more-for-less nonsense, or shabby not-so-chique, or property brother Chain Store homes. An age of craftsmanship, every piece invested to become an heirloom, interior that reflects class of soul and depth of intellect. Those were the days.

This style can be suffocating. I like it, and I find it exquisite, but there is a lot to say for rustic and shabby and minimalist and bauhaus and what have you style... it’s not surprising that people who have homes like this usually also have countryside residences / city apartments / beach resorts etc.

I don't know where to begin... The decorating here is at a level so far above anything I've ever seen anywhere and I'm equally in awe with how beautifully shot this was. Either there are two genius at work here, or the person who decorated this house also filmed the video. Just amazing.

I think the point, more specifically, is that new high-end homes are no longer built with objective beauty in mind. In this video, it seems authentic and beautiful. Today, it's more about fitting in with society rather than what is beautiful. White on white on white with no art or little decor in modern design feels lifeless and unwelcoming.

So classy!This is the epitome of coziness!Incomparably elegant!

Stunningly beautiful. Exquisite taste, this is the personification of elegance. And it’s not about money. Sure these things are worth a kings ransom, but the ability to put any objects together to create a beautiful space is an art in itself.

Agreed, to a certain extent. Put a few millions in my bank account and I’ll gather as lovely a collection. I am confident I am not the only one able to do that with the right figures in the bank. In fact, it’s more of an accomplishment - however dubious - to not be able to once you’re at those prices. I mean, just buying a couple of Goya’s or Rembrandt’s and hanging them on the wall is already more than half the work done. That said, I have to sadly acknowledge the great number of people who manage to achieve the goal of creating monstrosities at whatever price point.

Indeed lighting is basically essential - in everything. From photography to cinema to painting to decor. And even the more primordial pastimes. One can “fix” a shabby, cheap place with proper lighting - especially at night. Put some music on and you can at least imagine that you’re somewhere nicer.

In the skeleton painting he is showing you all the things he collected over the years. Now that he has passed, well... he just wanted you to see it. Kind of like how we see this video. I enjoyed the parrot and the library. It feels like my Grandma's house a bit so that feels like home.

I’d love to live there...

Eventhough the styles of today is more streamlined, the mind, heart and soul of this decadent interior will live on forever. New money style can't touch Old money visual. To underestimate the worth of this collection based on what is perceived as todays design is saddening. There may be skeletons in the closet at the Gutfreunds home, yet there is beauty and happiness at every turn.

La belle maison ...

Susan Gutfreund was a flight attendant! She married John, who was a "king of Wall St." for a while. She's still alive and he's deceased. Anyway, very nice taste, but could have been a bit less heavy handed. I'm splitting hairs, and I think its got a museum quality that makes it less of a home. It shouts, "expensive" more than the word, "beautiful", 'tho beautiful it is.

Beautiful apartment, exquisitely furnished, and now apparently owned by Stanley Druckenmiller: keeping the property in the industry! Gutfreund was a symbol of Wall St during the 1980s and was largely responsible for the stereotypes that developed about the swashbuckling trader ever since.
