10 homes so lavish they have actual shark tanks inside them

By

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the waterbed … These homes have their own shark tanks. Okay, so they’re more sand shark than great white, but they fish are still pretty extreme pets. But hey, Shark Week only comes ‘round once a year.

When former NBA player Gilbert Arenas sold his Virginia mansion in 2014, the sharks in his tank weren’t part of the deal … possibly because they cost $6,500 a month to maintain?

This seven-bedroom Marina Del Rey, California home is kind of the epitome of where we’d expect to find a 10,000-gallon residential shark tank; it also has a glass-bottom pool on the roof and a see-through piano.

Tracy Morgan’s shark tank

Reveal: Tracy Morgan's Shark Tank | Tanked

In a 2012 episode of Animal Planet’s Tanked, Tracy Morgan requested a giant, Jaws-themed shark tank. Is it any wonder that Tracy Jordan’s mantra on 30 Rock was, “Live every week like it’s shark week”?

I would not like someone to invite me to step into their office if there were sharks swimming around in there. It just seems menacing.

Located in Saudi Arabia, Issham Aquatics makes some incredible aquariums. The company claims the royal palace shark encounter it built for a private client is the largest residential aquarium. Considering it’s over 420,000 gallons, we believe it.

Tesla Powerwall is the best solar, home backup, and EV charging companion
Tesla Powerwall 3 installed on outside of home

Solar power, and having solar panels on your home, is a fantastic way to conserve energy and cut down on power bills, especially if you live somewhere sunny like Florida or California. There's just one glaring issue. When the grid goes down you still lose power because of how it's connected. Your solar panels cannot generate enough energy or keep it stored to keep your power on. So, essentially, your power setup doesn't offer much benefit there, unless you get a home power backup system. More specifically, something like a Tesla Powerwall is a compact home battery that stores energy generated from the grid. That energy is then used as a backup when traditional grid power is unavailable.

To make it even more clear, with a Tesla Powerwall, the power stays on even during a major blackout or outage. It's whole-home backup, too, which means you can power your lights, appliances, electronics, you name it. If you've ever had to throw away an entire refrigerator's worth of spoiled food because of a multi-day outage -- like I have -- you'll certainly appreciate the option to keep your appliances running. But that's not all it can do. The Tesla Powerwall is an excellent companion for Tesla EV owners, creating an entire smart ecosystem of power. Let's explore.

Prime Day 2022 security camera deals graphic.

If you're the sort of person who worries about the physical safety of their home or live in a rough area, then having home security cameras can help give you much more peace of mind. The great thing is that in the past decade or so, security cameras have come a long way, and nowadays, you can get things like wireless security cameras that let you access them remotely from wherever you are through an application. Of course, that does mean that there is a huge selection out there, which is why we've collected some of our favorite security camera deals below, although if you're in the Amazon ecosystem, it might be worth checking out these Ring camera deals.
Chamberlain myQ Smart Garage Security Camera -- $27 $50 45% off

While this is ostensibly made for your garage, there's no reason the Chamberlain myQ Smart Garage can't work for other uses as well, especially if you don't need the highest quality of recording. It has an HD camera, which isn't a ton, but it does have an impressive 130-degree field of view. The MyQ also connects through dual-band Wi-Fi for a better connection, and it even has two-way communication, which is impressive for something at this price bracket.
