The guy's a billionaire and he's taking a mortgage?

Shhhh! He's causing more fiat to be printed thereby increasing our Bitcoin value. Don't tell him about the compound interest!
It is cheaper to take a mortage than paying the full price directly, even for a billionaire

Sure but Brock Pierce was going to give away a billion dollars last year. What does he care about cheaper?
