[edit] Light Bulbs
How can he have 100,000 chandeliers but only 51,000 lightbulbs???
That would also be an average of more than 55 chandeliers per room. Also given the price given of construction if each chandelier cost $4,000 it would account for the total cost of construction. This is obviously an incorrect figure.
This has been corrected back to its original form which correctly stated that there are 564 chandeliers. I am thus removing the dispute indicator.
[edit] Impossible stats
I've been to Versailles and the Royal Palace in Madrid, and there is absolutely no way the latter is two and a half times larger. Olborne 15:53, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
The official website of the palace is in spanish but verifies the size of the Royal Palace of Madrid as 135,000 m² which converts to 1,453,122 square feet. See http://www.patrimonionacional.es/preal/preal.htm. The size of Versaille has been directly verified by the palace's press office as 51,210 m² which converts to 551,218 square feet. Therefore the dispute indicator will be removed.
Yes this is odd, Versailles is massive and by far much larger than the Royal palace of Madrid and Buckingham palace, I mean all you need to do is go to google earth and you can see how large Versailles is. I think that there is some sort of counting error because Versailles is much bigger than those other palaces. User:Daniel_Chiswick 26 March, 2007

I've always been curious, I figure it will save others from having to hunt around. --Bobak 06:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
