According to Businessinsider There have been a few stabs already at films about the
financial crisis that hit America in 2008 and 2009, but so far none have really
done a great job of explaining what happened…..We finally have a winner: The Queen of Versailles. The film
is a documentary directed by Lauren Greenfield, who started the film to tell
the story of David Siegel and his much younger wife Jackie (a former Miss
Florida), who were in the middle of building the world's most expensive private
home in America: A $90 million palace in Orlando Florida modeled after the
palace of Versailles.
That might have made for an interesting movie, but
Greenfield got incredibly fortunate during the shooting. See, Siegel is the
country's chief timeshare kingpin, whose Westgate Resorts sells middle class
Americans the opportunity to buy a chunk of time in a luxury unit in places
like Las Vegas, Park City Utah, Miami, and Orlando.
In addition to building "Versailles", Siegel is
also building the crown jewel of his empire, the PH Tower Westgate in Las
Vegas, which is designed to be Vegas' first big-time timeshare residence.Then
the credit crisis strikes, and this wreaks havoc on Westgate…..
