Meh it's ok. I remain unimpressed. I think I have better options out there. Just a bit below what I am looking for.
Just because you have money doesn't mean you have taste. Looks like someone's grandma decorated that place.
I thought that was Yao's house for the longest time since it's right across the street from Yao's restaurant.
everybody throw down on this, and we'll have a sweet place to watch rocket games plus more debauchery!!! #ClutchPad
I thought the same! Man, you'd have to drop a ton of additional cash to redo the interior of that place for real...wow
Yao is a straight up business man. Thats why Yao has investments to make him money well after the NBA stream stops. Living 'hood rich' is a quick sentencing to bankruptcy.
That was Yao's first house (the one in Katy). He later bought a home in Memorial that was more like 12 million. I'm not saying he couldn't afford it (he certainly could) but don't act like Yao was some frugal genius.
No genius but a frugal and wise investor. He was coming into a league and a city where he didnt know if he was going to make it and become a permanent fixture, so he bought a modest house, even though he could afford one six folds. You dont have to be a genius to know your worth. Just be fiscally stable.
