Proof that even in the 80s, immense wealth could not protect you from aggressive beige.
You might expect the hidden crash pad of CNN founder and billionaire media baron, yacht enthusiast, and owner of enough land to have his own zipcode, Ted Turner, to look like a Bond villain’s command deck. Instead, the newly resurfaced peek inside his secret newsroom lair suggests the design brief was “regional airport lounge where a guy angrily waits for a delayed flight to a midwestern destination.”
For a man who could have slept literally anywhere on Earth, Ted Turner apparently chose a hidden CNN perch with all the aesthetic warmth of an unplugged fax machine.
Better than the “gold” plated crassness of the twatwaffle.
I'm figuring there were probably things on the walls, and there was that enormous saltwater tank full of interesting fish. And if you think that Turner was a billionaire who worked really hard during that time, it was quite possibly just a place to eat, sleep and shower. A little like Warren Buffet's house.
