Billionaire Bill Gross accused of blaring 'Gilligan's Island' theme song on loop at his neighbor.

Bond billionaire Bill Gross is involved in a legal battle with his tech entrepreneur neighbor over a $1 million sculpture and allegations that Gross blasted the "Gilligan's Island" theme song on a loop from his house. Gross, the co-founder of investment firm PIMCO, and his partner Amy Schwartz installed a large lighted glass art installation on their Laguna Beach property along the property line shared with their neighbors, Mark Towfiq, CEO of data center development company Nextfort Ventures, and his wife Carol Nakahara, according to a lawsuit filed by Towfiq and Nakahra. Gross and Schwartz then installed larger poles and a protective net above the installation, and Towfiq and his wife allege the art installation partially blocked their ocean views.

After several months of unsuccessful attempts to discuss the matter with Gross, according to Towfiq and Nakahara, they filed a complaint with the city of Laguna Beach in June. The complaint prompted an investigation by the city that determined the installation, netting and lights were a violation of city code and did not have the proper permits, according to the lawsuit.

There have been times when I've wanted to set up my speakers on the fence at 4 in the morning and blare Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks" at my next door neighbors.

Believe that "blasting the music on a loop" stunt came directly from an episode of The Sopranos.

(Doesn't appear this guy was as successful as Tony was...)
