Die Queen von Versailles: Das Mega-Bauprojekt

I realize this show was made a year ago, but it still feels like a bad fit as the world struggles with inflation. The original documentary was thought provoking but this show is disgusting and demonstrates that Mrs Siegel leaned nothing from her brush with "poverty" 10 years ago. Instead it shows the vacuousness and willful wastefulness of this woman by attempting to glamorize a lifestyle that isn't the envy of the audience but rather the subject of its disdain. 5 minutes in you'll realize it's like a toddler was handed millions and given carte blanche. I couldn't make it through an entire episode. There is nothing redeeming about this show.

The Biltmore Estate in NC is over 178,000sqft.

Not sure what she is trying to accomplish, but the Gilded Age ended 100 years ago.

This is so tacky. I can't imagine having that much money to spend on non-sense. Especially in this AWFUL liberal economy.

If you enjoy drinking games, may I suggest taking a drink/sip/shot every time someone on the show says "morning kitchen" I assure you will be sloshed halfway through the second episode. But, unfortunately it gets much worse as the series moves forward.

I'd also like to add that it seems very fishy to me that David (husband) is in the hospital the whole time. I only say this because he actually sued Sundance and the director of the original film claiming defamation. He lost that case as the only defamation (about himself) was things he actually said in the film.

Overall, I just think the whole show is sad (constantly insisting on 10 chairs at breakfast tables etc) as the kids are all moving away from home age and the 86 year old husband won't be around forever. So who is the self proclaimed "Queen" really doing this for?? I'll let you make your own mind up about that.

I saw the original Queen of Versailles at the Sundance Film Festival and was outraged then. Now here comes another chapter of a cruel and ridiculous travesty. People are starving in the streets and she needs a 90000 Square Foot home? How narcissistic do you have to be? Totally obnoxious. I couldn't care less about her or her home and I'm disappointed that Discovery + sees fit to fund her in any way.

I mean, this is nothing compared with for example "Keeping up with the Kardashian's" who built up their entire career and fortune with their show. I like Jackie, she's more genuine than any other rich mom with a reality show. I thinks it fun and interesting to follow the process with this gigantic project of finishing the house, that's been called the most expensive building failure since they halted the whole thing. I mean this is their dream home. I would build mine too if I had the money.

And I think Jackie does a greater job than her husband listening to the actual experts who are responsible for the building and design process. I really hope we get a second and maybe third season to see it done. I see some tendencies in her sons that's going to mess with it but I hope it ends well.
