(Bloomberg) -- In 1997, the same year that the credit card giant Providian Financial went public, the company's chairman and chief executive officer, Shailesh Mehta, purchased a 22,300-square-foot, 24-room mansion in Hillsborough, Calif., about a half-hour drive from downtown San Francisco. The house, a deliberate echo of the White House that was designed in 1930, wasn't actually what Mehta was looking for. "My son had just gotten married, and - coming from Indian culture - the concept was that we would remain close but still have our own boundaries", Mehta explains. Mehta stepped down as CEO of Providian in 2001, and his children eventually found their own homes, leaving Mehta and his wife alone in a house that could comfortably accommodate a family of 18.
