So looks like Steph made no money out of this house. Bought for 3.2M sold for 3.2M. Plus his wife put in 500k for kitchen remodeling.
I think it’s his wife’s fault. Your spouse can make or break your finance. Judging from the way his wife handled this transaction, she’s not a savvy one when it comes to money.
She might decide to buy a useless vineyard next for 50M… you never know. Some rich widow did that some time back and blew away her husband’s inheritance.
Recall there is a list of billionaire that went bankrupt, web search (don’t G it) and you can find the list. How to waste a billion dollar without burning it? Buy over priced jewelry/ picture/ watches/ collectibles, wear overpriced clothes once and throw parties every weekends. For men is easier, trophy wives and gambles.
