Dracula's castle for sale




This castle is actually called Bran castle and was home to Vlad the Impaler. Vlad would go on to be so horrible to the Romanians that the legend of Dracula is based upon him. Impaling his victims was his favorite way to torture his victims. He also would dine with the impaled, meaning he would have victims put on the spikes and then sit down by them and enjoy a nice relaxing meal as his victims weakly moaned out in pain.

So if you would like to own this guys former home, you can buy it for the price of just $77 Million. Of course the castle is now a tourist destination and you wouldn't really be able to live in it (there are stipulations set by the Government when dealing with historic landmarks), but it does make about 12 million a year at a production cost of 7 million. So you would have made back your investment in 55 years and then it would be all profit.
