. . . Give me Grottos Packed with Drugs, Booze, and Exotic Hookers from Far Away Locales, like Chicago, or Give Me Death


Henry T Nicholas III . . . founded the company Broadcom in 1991, making the innards of cable TV boxes at his Redondo Beach apartment. When it floated in the go-go years of the internet boom, his shares went up in value 40 times and he soon acquired the trappings of the super rich: private jets, a Lamborghini and a mansion in Laguna Hills with its own equestrian estate and, court documents claim, his personal brothel, hidden in an underground grotto.

The grotto was reached by hidden doors with secret levers, leading to tunnels and a 2,000sq-ft underground sports bar called "Nick's Café". According to claims in court papers, this was a "secret and convenient lair", to cater for "Mr Nicholas's manic obsession with prostitutes" and his "addiction to cocaine and ecstasy".

And I suspose you would have used the money to glorify god or buy iPhones for the poor or feed the hungry or something equally saintly.

Well, I don't know what path other may take, but as for me . . .

Mr Nicholas apparently told his wife about the underground passageways and rooms under their mansion when work began.

Big mistake.

In fact, MAJOR mistake since they are now going through a divorce.
