In Canada, when the old dollar bills were discontinued in 1989, some people held onto them hoping they would be worth a lot of money someday.

Years later, all the bills she had put aside went to her son. That's when he discovered a very special $5 bill.

$25,000,000 Ferrari Spotted In Montreal

If you saw a nice classic car rolling by you'd probably snap a quick picture even if you're not a car aficionado. And why not? A really nice classic car isn't something you come by very often. But what if you were a billionaire with a collection of over 25 Ferraris, it would take something pretty special and expensive to make you pull out your camera.

Well that's exactly what you're witnessing. That's billionaire Lawrence Stroll taking a picture of something even he's impressed by: a $25,000,000 Ferrari.

A Look Inside The $25,000,000 Laval "Castle" Celine Dion Used To Own

I've written about castles in the past but let's face it, I was just referring to really really big houses and I was getting tired of using the words "manor" and "mansion." This house however is quite literally a castle, and what's the one thing all castles need? A moat of course! Okay, so this doesn't have an actual moat, but it comes pretty damn close considering it's located on a private island.

The interior doesn't exactly discourage the use of the word 'castle' either. Everything in this house seems to be made of ornate marble or carved oak. The game room looks like it was stolen from the Titanic. The dining room is entirely made of medieval style stone and I suspect that if you were to pull on one of the candle sticks, it would open a secret passage guarded by a knight.

This Is What A $3,000,000 Apartment Looks Like In Montreal

Photo cred - sothebysrealty

Here at MTL Blog we love house porn. But we don't feature much apartment porn, mostly because they don't tend to have many unique features. But I've never seen so much luxury packed into 2,700 square feet. This apartment located on de la Montagne has incredible panoramic views of downtown Montreal which are enhanced by the walls of windows that surround the place.
