Somewhat reminiscent of Julius Beer, who built himself the largest tomb in Highgate Cemetary, employing the best architects and craftsmen, and positioned it in from of the view from the balcony in front of St Michael's to obstruct the then view of London (now behind trees) in a big Eff You gesture.
"Beer was born into poverty in Frankfurt and determined to make his fortune. He dealt on the London Stock Exchange and became proprietor of The Observer newspaper. However, being Jewish and a foreigner and having earned his wealth by commercial success rather than inheritance, he always felt ostracised by Victorian high society."
