Thats an interesting concept. Though I have to ask if an apartment is 
feasable though? I just cant see Scrooge parting with a monthly "rent" let 
alone putting down a deposit he could possibly lose should something go 
"awry" such as a Donald visit or a Gearloose invention gone wonky. :)

I guess thats why I'd always assumed that McDuck just kept his mansion as a 
spare home even though he didnt necessarily "live" in it. It just felt 
convenient. I'm with you on the fact that he probably lives in his bin more 
than anything else though.
