Gennadiy Tsygan knows how expensive it is to build a home in the United States. That’s why he imported almost everything for his dream house from China.
Most of his home fixtures were imported directly from over two dozen factories, and Tsygan — an engineer in Baltimore — flew halfway around the world in 2024 to choose some of those products.
In this article “Rich guy does ecentric thing”. News flash, most of our houses are being built with stuff from china. The rest of us just don’t get to fly around and tour the factories.
*eccentric
But yeah, I thought this was going to be about having a house built in China and then loaded on a boat and shipped. A manufactured house or maybe a doublewide. But no, the guy just bought fancy house materials for cheap by skipping the middleman.
Clickbait.
Same, I thought for a second they were actually offering pre-builts which would have been awesome for the 5 minutes they are allowed to be bought before the government inevitably tariffs it to oblivion lol.

Ha ha, “According to Harvard alumna Nancy Berliner (白铃安), during the construction, one incident involved a raccoon that entered the storage room. The Chinese craftsmen killed it with a shovel, skinned it, and cooked it for food.”
I want to read a story about how this guy does something like that. That would be newsworthy.
