Founder of Priceline.com and Walker Digital, Jay Walker (official bio) has amassed a huge net worth, which at one point topped $4 billion. Much it was lost during the dot-com crash, but not before investing some of it in the world’s best personal library. The library includes an actual Sputnik I satellite, ruby-bound books, and “a framed napkin from 1943 on which Franklin D. Roosevelt outlined his plan to win World War II.”

My real fascination with the library isn’t the huge variety and amount of items collected, but more of it’s awe-inspiring presentation. I read only out of necessity like Kanye. I’m not a library person, but I could spend all day in Walker’s.
