Stephan also spent an additional $115,000 on an outdoor pool and hot tub, as well as landscaping his backyard. In order to keep complete continuity between his videos during the move, he even got another aviator wing desk and T-Rex skull. While he once worked on videos in his garage, Stephan now has a dedicated office that includes an exact replica of his original set that still sits in Los Angeles.
It's also home to around 50 hermit crabs and 70 snails. Stephan has so far invested $45,000 in the tank, equipping it with high-end water filters and lighting equipment and filling it with fish, shrimp and coral. The centerpiece of the house is the 310-gallon aquarium that sits in the entryway. He spent about $100,000 on furniture and artwork, including a massive neon sign with his "Smash The Like Button" slogan, as well as an $80,000 piano that he bought used for $16,000. When it came to furnishing his home, Stephan didn't cut any corners. "A lot of people are moving to Las Vegas, and I don't see that demand stopping any time soon." "Since, property values in this community have gone up 15 to 20%," he says.
And despite the seven-figure price tag, Stephan feels like he "got a really good deal" on the home.
