Papa John's founder joins TikTok and shows off his mega-mansion.

With the world continuing to practice social distancing amid the current coronavirus pandemic (also known as COVID-19), it seems a lot more adults have decided to join the popular teen app TikTok to create entertaining videos. Whether it's challenges, dance routines, lip-sync videos, or skits, more and more people have discovered the viral app. 

The pizza chain founder recently posted a series of TikTok videos, and in one clip he revealed his mansion a la MTV Cribs style. The sprawling home is located in Louisville, Ky., and is reportedly worth $11 million.

In the clip, viewers see an aerial shot of the mansion, revealing the huge property, which is even surrounded by a moat. When initially walking into the home, there is a massive eagle clock statue that "spins four times an hour." Let's just say Papa is very proud of that statue.

While he hasn't posted additional clips of his mansion, his most recent video showed off a cringy clip of himself lifting weights. "Papa bless, or papa flex," he stated.

One person commented, "This guy has THIS house with this ridiculously ostentatious clock of 2 eagles banging but said his company couldn't afford to give employees health insurance. F--k off Papa John."

Additionally, someone wrote, "'30 million Americans are out of work. I think now's a good time to release a video of my gaudy mansion.' -Papa John. The interior design of his house is equal parts Graceland and Liberace's home in Vegas."
