Photo tour of the home of the Soviet billionaire who emigrated to the United States

If you still do not believe that the United States is a country of opportunity, then perhaps the dizzying story of a certain Tamir Sapir will convince you. Because the breathtaking Long Island estate, valued today at $ 100 million and owned by this person, is the best evidence that the American dream exists and can be realized.

Tamir (also Timur) Sapir emigrated from Soviet Georgia, first to Israel, and then to America in the mid-70s. Here he went from a taxi driver and the owner of a small electronics store to the richest native of the USSR.

Having become a very wealthy man, Sapir acquired a magnificent mansion on Long Island, built in 1928. It is difficult to imagine how much money he invested in renovating a house and arranging a vast territory of 3.2 hectares, but the estate, which has become one of the most expensive in the area, makes an indelible impression even on those who are accustomed to luxury and scope.

Doors made of gold.

The kitchen roof has stained glass.

Bathrooms are made of glass and marble.

The terraces in the house are decorated with onyx, lapis lazuli, agate and malachite.

The estate has everything that the soul desires, it is almost a small city! Gala hall, hairdresser, wine cellar, racquetball hall, gym, spa, sauna, pools, two-story dollhouse, bowling, casino and shooting gallery.
