10. The tallest log cabin in the world
Nikolai Sutyagin is a former Russian gangster who (accidentally) built the tallest log cabin in the world. Back in 1992, he started building a two-story house. It was supposed to be larger than those of his neighbors, so he could show he was the richest man in the city.
It got out of hand pretty quickly. Today, the log cabin has 13 floors and is 144 feet high. It’s an impressive feat that started with the millionaire simply wanting to show off his wealth.
