Larry is a bishido fanatic, it won't suprise me to see world class kois hybernating in his pond. That house in atherton is the #2 japanses style construction in the US, the #1 is in woodside, also own by larry.
assuming ordinary kois are swimming in that pond, and larry leave them with the new owner, the house is way overpriced. 2.3 acre in Atherton is worth no more than $5, construction at any level of caliber, for 8000 sq' is no more than $6, landscaping top out $1 per acre janpanese styled, that make it $2.3. Total bill is $13.3, I mean million. No wonder gogglers skipped it altogether.
For senior engineering goggler who join the company before the end of 2001, s/he would have have a sack of eggs worth north of $30.
I will write larry an offer at $9 after I win the super lotto, if oracle stock tanks, i will write him an offer at $6.
