David A. Siegel
The subject of the documentary “The Queen of Versailles,” David Siegel and his wife lived the American dream. Siegel owned the largest time-share company in the world. Never satisfied, their greed took on new forms and they wanted to build the largest house in the world, a 90,000 square foot mansion in Orlando, Florida. They planned to model it after the French palace of Versailles. But once the American economy tanked, they weren’t immune to its far reaches. He halted the housing project and funneled all his remaining money into saving his company.
