Problems at home
As hard as they tried to keep their personal affairs away from the public’s eye, it was painfully obvious that Lucy and Desi couldn’t solve their problems. So, after bringing in piles of money from all sorts of business ventures, including their acting careers, they decided to purchase a large ranch in California.
It seems odd for a bickering couple to purchase a piece of real estate together, but to Desi, it was more of about their finances. He instantly added a guest house, a BBQ pit, and an inground pool to their estate, so whenever they got into it, he wouldn’t have to escape to a hotel. He could just pack up and move to the other side of their estate.
