    @Ebo, your comment is just one word but it carries so much weight.

    This is what happens when you don't think long-term and think in the moment. A simple high-end/regular house could have been useful.

    Everything material thing we have is not ours, let's spend on what to keep us safe in the next world.

    Lesson. Be careful when building huge homes your children cannot even maintain once you die. How many rooms did he sleep in every night? 1.

    Ghanaians and our poverty induced mentality, so Pele should not have enjoyed his money the way he wanted because it is vanity and he will die one day? Let's get real here,it is the family he left behind who are irresponsible.

    You are right. It was a lack of culture of maintenance.
    The family could have maintained and even remodeled it into a tourist site.

    Build mansions and your children will abandon them or sell them cheap and scatter.
