💲Billionaires and Millionaires Lake Shore Mansions in Chicago's North Shore! 

Wow, just WOW! Went to Northwestern and a best friend lives in Glencoe so I have traveled on the street side of them many times and always wondered what they must be like. Until now it was only a passing wonder as I drove by. Now. Wow just wow. As a former film editor - the only criticism is that some of them are seen too long and there was some repetition, Like someone else posted - I would love to see some of these in Spring or better still in summer. How many people live in these homes? Lots of empty unused rooms. I'm guessing many of these owners NEVER venture all the way down to their private beaches.

I live in Chicago and have driven the north shore burbs many times. You never grasp the sheer size and scale of these homes from the street. Amazing video, thank you for posting!

Prettiest Big City in America

I’ve done some flooring and trim work in a few of these “homes”. I always left wondering where I went wrong lol

Could you possibly make a new summer version of Lincoln Park’s most prestigious streets before it’s over? The last one you did was a winter version and that was over 2 years ago now. There’s been some new homes that have come up. Great video by the way, looks amazing! 👏

I once got to tour a private home that was in excess of 40,000 square feet. They handed me a map as I entered so I wouldn't get lost! I needed it, jeez!

The north shore is my hood. While I am defiantly not in a mansion, it still is an amazing place to live.

Great video, and the music was very good. Great job

Had no idea this existed… thank you

Show me Evanston and Lake Forest

I’ve lived on the west side most of my life and I first visited the north shore in my twenties. I never knew such beauty existed in Chicago, it was a culture shock in my own city! I really wish they would open more south side beaches as well. It would be nice to swim closer to home!

Holy crap. I had no idea Chicago had houses like this 😳

I was fortunate enough to have grown up in this area. So many of the old mansions have been replaced by new construction. The beach fronts look totally different too. The difference between new money and old money I guess

Great drone work!!! love this production!!

its Breath taking..to see the.Beautiful Mansions..Great Video!

Pretty much every estimate in this video is well below what these houses would actually sell for, just putting that out there.

Mate you've done amazing video absolutely amazing Wow I'm not big fan of USA but you definitely just opened my eyes mate wow it's amazing, it's so beautiful And I don't know how to express myself like I'm in the hiden gem

I was waiting for this video thanks ☺️

Great video. You should consider covering Lake Forest and Lake Bluff. There are lots of architecturally significant homes in those areas. Quite a few belonged to those in the Armour family but there are others. Check out 405 Mayflower in Lake Forest which was a wedding gift from John G Shedd to his daughter. 700 Arbor Drive is another nice one designed by David Adler for one of the Armours. Singer Richard Marx owed it from the 80s until recently.

I really enjoyed viewing these mansions. I especially like how the land was terraced down to the shore that was no doubt lined with sand that had been trucked in. Also. Thank you for the slow moving camera as I suffer from motion sickness but this speed was perfect for me!

WOW!!! Oh that ending shot looking toward downtown is spectacular!!!

I live here in Chicago all my life. I was born and raised here I would like to visit these places the Lakeshore mansions. I'm nobody really that important.

I was born and raised in Chicago il North side very close to Evanston il i must say that Wilmette il , and Winetka il are such an elite suburbs of iIlinois, it is a very beautiful place very well kept place my mother had many homes in both suburbs i lived there from my child hood to my pre adult these homes are amazing and from above with a drone is spectacular .

It’s so funny that u point out the jacuzzi in these videos!

I worked as a manager in landscaping company. We worked in some of them.

I love the video make some more please

I was inside that one mansion that once stood in 2018 before being demolished. The previous owners had an estate sale. It was gorgeous inside and well maintained. A shame it was torn down.

Wow! That’s beautiful!

great content man!~

Intreating history note on the demolished mansion at the 22:00 mark: Before its purchase in the early 80’s, it had been squatted by a pair of Chicago bank robbers. The next owners were our neighbors in a different suburb. For anyone who drove Sheridan Rd, it was the red brick three story with massive white columns, next to a small park. It also had a front guest quarters with massive, white pillars in the front. Most 3rs floor was a gymnasium. The purchased it for about $2M in the early ‘80s. Breathtaking. It was a gem when it was up for sale in 2018z such a shame to lose it.

Lake Michigan is eventually going to have her way with many of these properties.

Another reason to be deeply in love with Pixie ASMR/CHICAGO!

Did I see two large mansions on the McDonalds owner’s estate???😮😮😮

Nice video. Where is the home @ the 44minute 58second mark?

Your filming skills are, BRILLIANT!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I would hate to pay the property tax bills on these mansions. 😂

I traveled into the north shore a few times as I grew up in Elmhurst but knew the Chicago area really well

I’ve been in a couple of these. they both had full time house keepers and handymen. the amount of money to keep these placing going each year is probably 2-3x the property taxes paid. There is always some sort of construction or updates going on inside and out.

Breath taking Gorgeous Mansions...but NOBODY outside..WOw!!

Follow up video, what do these people do for a living?

Spectacular perspective of these home!! I want more

Nice video! There's alot of French Chateau's in the North Shore

I can't stand mansions: it's no fun being isolated out in the middle of nowhere, arguing with buffoons about the property line. Give me a fancy apartment in downtown anyday.

Beautiful homes Life of success

The owner of the house at 411 Sheridan Rd also owns the parcels to the south. ( or did while his house was being built)

They all live there because they earned it. And never excused the mistakes they've made in their life on someone else.

This is crazy! My new fav neighborhood 😅 thank you

I KNOW one of the celebrity who bought a home and it's not in chicago region . And the home isn't a mansion and it's the only home that person lives in . Even if I was a billionaire or millionaire , I would never want a Mansion , I wouldn't feel comfortable in it . I have a home size of 5,000 sq ft , big enough .

On the one hand these are pretty cool. *On the other hand,* imagine if _right now,_ somebody was outside of _your house_ with a drone... recording your house... and backyard... and everything about where _you_ live. These are people's private homes and lives that are being put on full public display for the entire world to see... without their permission. Just a thought.

This was awesome to see, thanks for the production and upload👌

I’ve always wondered who lives in these beautiful mansions. When I’m bored I like to see which mansions are for sell. Thank you for the great video and info!

This could be Chicagos year for better reputation and overall better impact!I can tell something is brewing for a big outcome for the better reputation

These homes don't look like Chicago. Is this really Chicago North suburbs?

Thanks for sharing it was unbelievable.

I used to live in Chicago and would go to see this amazing places.

Welcome back!!👍

You can stick your hand out your window and almost literally shakes hands with your wealthy neighbor.

Loved this video, especially with the extra facts embedded. I agree with the comments that it could be edited down a bit, but we'll done!

go to barrington

Where are the black and Hispanic mansion owners I’m not watching no more

Such a Beautiful Vidoe on such a beautiful area Chicago's North Shore

How did they get that tractor on the shore front and out???

I toured the inside of the house at 13:30 mark during construction the round master bathroom is something to be seen

Hey rich people: The lake’s coming to swallow your homes!

Part 2 please? The houses are absolutely stunning

The property taxes are mind boggling

Fun to know that your house is in a few clips and that your friend lives in one of these homes.

So sad how they took The beaches away for everyone to enjoy and they got indoor pools . California , New Jersey, Puerto Rico even Florida have open beach’s for world to enjoy.

I like how the list showed my brother house and my cousin house..

This is where I work. Crazy

Great Video! Thank You 😊

Don’t sleep on the south suburbs mansions either - Palos Park, Homer Glenn and Orland Park.

Plenty of rooms in those mansions to take in illegal immigrants 😅

Gross. Use your money better with some class & taste. Of feed hungry people. Ew!

Fun, but please review your printed grammar before releasing. "Movies was"?? Just a thought.

It's not a Chicago mansion if it's not in Chicago

Amazing footage!

Fabulous.

I drive through the north shore a lot and one can only dream of living along the lake like that. It’s wonderful and it also makes me really sad. The racial disparity is so intense, as well as the residential segregation. If someone drove from east Garfield park and worked their way to the north shore, they would see the stark racial and residential disparities. Even if things improved in Chicago, it would never compare to the gorgeous land that was acquired in the northshore in the late 1800s. They truly got the best land, the most space for the least amount of people, while the city is crowded with these crammed apartments filled with the lower class. They also made sure the north shore was predominantly white, and it still is 80-94% white. I wish there was a way to improve the quality of Chicago residential living considering the feeling one gets visiting these places and comparing it to the urban life…as a brown woman I know I may never have the opportunity these people did to build those gorgeous homes along the north shore at the PRICES they did back in the day. The were afforded the opportunities simply because they were white (i think it was 2,000 homes were offered to white prospective home buyers while only 38 black families were even allowed to look in the mid 1900s). It’s a testament to the divide in Chicago. The city that built the most beautiful buildings, and also built the worse system of redlining segregation the country had ever seen. Still, I am grateful I can drive down that scenic route, stop at a beach from time to time, and continue to dream/work hard for myself. It’s great motivation to see beauty like that.

They're all so tacky!

8:55

Beautiful & thanks

Ribirin H-S,

Do you really think 🤔 they pay taxes on their mansions .

Why is this video so slow???

Impressive properties. Would be interesting to see the landscaping & swimming pools during summer. When I think of Chicagoland, I think of Lawrence of YT's Lost in the Pond (he loves Chicago but he has a phrase: "cold white s***" lol): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jOZhymFu39Q.html

Wow....

These estimates, seem way off to me

Me

One day, the ocean will swallow it. There are beautiful but too near the water.

i do love to see how the other half lives just as much as anyone else. but at the sametime i don't feel that just anyone should be able to get how much they pay in property taxes like in this video.

Amazing greed. Do not envy these people.

Or* feed hungry people!

Mein Name hätte als Nr. 1 erwähnt werden sollen! Ohne mich hätten sie es nicht geschafft! Ich verdiene alle Anerkennung für ihren Erfolg!

many of us can't event afford for property tax with full year salary.

So many new builds replaced the more stately old money homes.

20:04 is the money shot. I'd move in there today 💯

I Wonder Will Chicago South Shore Have Mansions Too?

Spent a lot of time on the Evanston shore 49:10

Just curious where Wayne fits into this?
