Hundreds of people flocked to the grounds to see how Yanukovych had been living, and photos have surfaced of his luxurious mansion, extensive vehicle collection, zoo, golf course, and boat.
And he's not the only powerful Ukrainian enjoying a ridiculously luxurious residence.

Yanukovych is now reportedly wanted for mass murder of protesters, and the opposition has taken control of public offices. Yanukovych refuses to step down.
Clashes between riot police and protesters killed 82 people last week. It's worst violence Ukraine has seen since its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
