He said " I love to spend, spend, spend, after all that's what money
is there for". On many occasions he would fly to Japan for shopping
sprees - on one occasion he spent 25,000 on antiques and art and 100,000
pounds on a 144 piece dinner set. Freddie was passionate bout fine art,
he amassed a collection that was among the best in private collections
in Britain.
His Kensington home cost him 500,000 pounds which he paid in cash when
he bought it, He was later offered a million pounds to sell it, but
refused. It had eight bedrooms, four marble bathrooms, a jacuzzi and
a minstrels gallery. But Freddies bedroom was his most special room
in the house - it was his inner sanctum...It was created by knocking
three of the original rooms together. It had a colonnade of Romanesque
columns and an emperor sized bed - which had to be hoisted up to the
top floor of the house by a crane. Above the bed was a system of lights
controlled from a complicated electric console. With it, Freddie could
create moods to fit his own. One of the bathrooms was fitted with black
marble streaked with gold, another with orange marble.
