It was a lap pool, not a hot tub. His home he bought last June lists a lap pool, no hot tub.

Well, that confirms it. There's no way a millionaire could have had a hot tub installed since last June!

I did not know what a lap pool was. This is a lap pool.

[-] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

Sources online say it was a combo of a lap pool hot tub.

Oh wow neither did I.

For some reason I thought it was a tiny shallow pool, like for toddlers to play in. Why would anyone even have one of those?!

A lap pool, for doing laps, makes so much more sense. I've lived in a house with a pool and it's just a huge pain in the ass. Being able to bust a couple of laps would be great though. I'd love to have this.

Damn, that was his last post. Pretty eerie. Seems like there are worse ways to go

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago

Strange, the article from la times said hot tub

[-] Dralejr@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 years ago

Apparently his last Twitter/Instagram whatever post he showed off his new hot tub, so could be either I suppose.

Twitter is saying it is a hot tub, lap pool combo.
