Tony Hsieh, the CEO of Zappos, can afford to buy any type of home that he likes yet he opted to live a simple lifestyle.
Hsieh, who is known as one of the
most frugal millionaires in the business community, chooses to live in a
Las Vegas trailer park.
However, the RV lot that the
business executive calls home may differ from the the negative
stereotypes associated with other trailer parks.
The 'trailers' are gorgeous silver Airstream caravans, which retail for $48,000 for a 2013 model.
Thirty homes are lined up in a neat row, each with about 200 square feet of space.
Units have two TVs, Bluetooth stereo
systems and wood paneling, though the size of the showers reportedly
makes it difficult for large adults to bathe.
Hsieh has nicknamed his caravan 'Llamapolis' and he shares his trailer with his pet alpaca named Marley.
The Airstream Village also includes
Tumbleweed Tiny Houses, wooden RVs that have about 130 square feet and
do not have couches or kitchen tables.
