While Denmark takes pride in its economic homogeneity, once in a while one finds striking differences. This family of five has a bit more--even after being taxed at 70%--and makes the most of it in a stunning turn of the 20th Century home. Apparently, 300 years ago, their neighborhood was the stomping ground and vast gardens of the Queen's mistress....
