Then there’s the 30-foot-deep moat with a swing bridge, the water canons capable of taking out helicopters, drones or skydivers, and the film of flammable liquid that can be automatically deployed across the surface of the artificial lake and ignited to create a defensive ring of fire.

A lack of sharks in the lake, disappointing... wait a minute

In another house, an old British phone booth has been engineered so that when the right code is entered on the keypad, the glass windows turn opaque, and the back wall opens to reveal a slide leading to a secure basement complex that includes a flight simulator and a shark tank.

There we go, laser beams on backorder I trust

Exactly, when these very highly paid very capable individuals realise that money is no longer something to worry about, but having a safe roof over your head is, how many seconds would it be before the billionaire is being ejected through the hermetically sealed twin door arrangement rubbish removal system.
