The cost of room and board at Harvard is $60K/year, so sending 7 kids through Harvard for 4 years is $1.7M.

While you can spend that much for a home in SV, you certainly don't have to.

A house that can support a family of 9?

A house that can support a family of 9 is not cheap even in Ohio if you want to "life of wealth and luxury".

You'll be paying over $1M for a 5 or 6 bedroom house in a "nice" part of Columbus (i.e. German Village), and you'll be paying around $1.2M for such a house in a decent (though not upper class) neighborhood in Silicon Valley.

A 6 bedroom house for $1.2 in SV? Good luck. It would be in disrepair or in a bad neighborhood at that price.
