A Gold Mine at the Biltmore Estate

Our tickets to get into the Biltmore Estate were $56 each.  That's with the hotel discount.  ("They" now tell me you can Google Biltmore Estate + Coupons and get some even better discounts.  Why am I always the last to know?)  With over a million visitors a year at $56 each, isn't that something like $56 million dollars a year?  That's not even counting $10 per person for head set tours, candlelight tours, Segway tours (you know, those gyroscope riding gadgets)  (HEY!  that's where I've seen those before!  Gyroscope in the Donald Duck comic books used to ride one, didn't he??), equestrian tours, souvenirs, etc.  I guess that means there is more than one kind of gold mine in North Carolina....
