It was a lap pool, not a hot tub. His home he bought last June lists a lap pool, no hot tub.

Well, that confirms it. There's no way a millionaire could have had a hot tub installed since last June!

I did not know what a lap pool was. This is a lap pool.

[–] YoBuckStopsHere 30 points 1 year ago

Sources online say it was a combo of a lap pool hot tub.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Oh wow neither did I.

For some reason I thought it was a tiny shallow pool, like for toddlers to play in. Why would anyone even have one of those?!

A lap pool, for doing laps, makes so much more sense. I've lived in a house with a pool and it's just a huge pain in the ass. Being able to bust a couple of laps would be great though. I'd love to have this.

Neither did I, thanks for sharing!

Damn, that was his last post. Pretty eerie. Seems like there are worse ways to go

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Strange, the article from la times said hot tub

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Apparently his last Twitter/Instagram whatever post he showed off his new hot tub, so could be either I suppose.

[–] YoBuckStopsHere 1 points 1 year ago

Twitter is saying it is a hot tub, lap pool combo.
