Many people on the internet have seen this video and have been going crazy. They are stating that yes, this wealthy owner has parked his Rolls Royce Ghost inside the living room. However, we are here to inform you that it is not the living room.
Yes, the posh floor that you see with the Rolls Royce Ghost inside is a parking lot. There are two other cars on the same floor as well. Videos like this usually are posted to attract viewers, and there is little to no truth to them.
