imagine living in one of these, and on a random long walk through your house finding out there has been two families living in the west wing of your house for 8 months without you even knowing....
@@stevesteve7354 Not really hating, to each there own, but the scale of these homes is over the top, and meant to impress more than meet the needs of the people who live in them. How many occasions in your life have you had the need for 20+ bedrooms? Again, just my opinion, but I wouldn't be able to live in one, I wouldn't feel comfortable.
Honestly, I find some of these houses incredibly beautiful, especially the ones out in the country that have columns, but if I owned them, I’d feel morally obligated to start an orphanage to fill all the rooms.
I've been coveting the second one, 924 Bel Air, for about 4 years now. Still can't afford it 🤣. These are nice to dream about but my cat would get lost in these. Your cabin sounds lovely and perfect
It is great for exercising, do you think the royal family complains because they have to walk through there castles and palaces, what with their amazing health, who still work and travel extensively through there 70s, 80s, and even 90s. Prince Philip didn’t even retire until he was close to hundred and the Queen is like 94 or 95.
Biltmore, Tahoe Uen, Fairfield Pond, and the Modern Versailles are my favorites. I didn't know the rich like bowling though. I truly doubt it. I myself prefer gardens, aquariums, and libraries.
OMG!! I keep having to hit the pause button. Your onto the next house and I can't wrap my little head on the house you just described!! These are so mind boggling!!
T Boone Pickens home in Texas was one that I liked a lot. Nice to have a jet runway. Cuts out travel time significantly. You'd have to own a lot of the property around it as someone would buy near and immediately demand you stop flying in. Of course they knew you had a landing strip BEFORE they moved in but they would still scream and shout!
I've worked inside the Pritzker estate and it is huge!! He has an annual Christmas party and we set up a big structure where his tennis ball court is. It's a pretty big job.
I have enough trouble with a modest 2-bedroom house. I often walk up the stairs to fetch something, and forget what it was when I get there. Any of these houses would be a nightmare.
No one needs a place that damn big. Apparently property is the best way to launder money. But I don't even know why anyone needs that amount of money... for the power? No one needs that amount of power. It's insane.
@@philm4337 True No one need a house like this but if I've learned anything from working for people that buy these homes is that many of them just buy them as a way to build even more wealth. Current project were on is worth +30Mil, owner bought it for 15 2yrs ago. Even with building expenses and labor, he still made at least 7mil just for holding it. He sold his previous house and as far as he's said he'll only live there for some 5yr and sell.
Always set a goal. 4 months ago i moved into my dream home. Building a pool and renovating the backyard next March for about 50.000 euro total to finish the home
Amazing how the wildest dream home you ever had someone already built it! Dang! That number 5 for me. Private landing strip with hangar for jets...enough land to move guests around with golf carts from place to place. I want a house with owners only level..Private elevator code...ballroom for parties so noone gets nosy in your house. Get in and get out lol...Crazy homes! Someone can, you can too. Not saying you will...but you can!
God bless us I like it very beautiful place and elegant to have a Palace like this. Very nice to selfie selfie. I like it very beautiful. In God all things are possible po. Maraming salamat po
People that are this wealthy should be forced to donate money every couple months or a lump sum yearly to the homeless and hungry!! I could never be this rich and spend my money on pointless mansions. The whole reason I want to be is to help people and animals 🙁
@@Nic-no8nf i agree completely.. You often find people that grew up with nothing and later in life acquired a lot of money like athletes do a lot for the less fortunate. Like shaq for an example he came to the local walmart in our home town in florida and paid off EVERYONE'S layaway at Christmas..
@@Nic-no8nf I feel the same way :) it's gotta be a great feeling to know you truly helped people, strangers you never even met. And children specifically. I live in a smaller town of only about seventy five thousand people in the whole county but everyone that lives here bought their kids toy's at that walmart and were not the richest town so most of them were put on layaway. It helped a lot of people that year..
#10 - you messed up. A couple of the photos including the one with the duel staircase in black and white is the Aaron Spelling mansion. It did belong to congress Hilton and is on the market for $75M.
Having a small 'mansion,' I know that the real cost isn't so much the purchase price; its the maintenance. The maintenance is recurring and is roughly 15% - 20% per year of the purchase price. That will eat you alive.
Yeah and having kids in a house, stuff will get broken and sometimes thing just break. Even if you pay someone to cleanup it’s funny because I know some who cleans house for people and despite having a cleaner they still clean up the house themselves too lol. Imagine having that big of a house
I built my home in skid row downtown LA out of 4 refrigerator boxes and a GE washer box. It comes fully equipped with boxed wine and lots of marijuana.

Man this houses are crazy the only closest opportunity for me to step in one of these houses is only accessable via minecraft😭 although i don't find the need to live in a house...mansion like this i mean the most expensive i could spend if i had the wealth to buy a house would probably just be a bungalow with a rectangular pool and probably a mini cinema like Preston styles😂
I once visited someone who had very large rooms. It was actually annoying to travel from a room to another. I mean, at first the big space looks cool, but you are actually going to live each day there and travelling 15min to the ping-pong room gets annoying really quick. I'm guessing 90% of the house is most of the time deserted. And basically you will have security living in those empty spaces, to prevent strangers from entering and having a nap
my phone: ring ring ring mum: "daphne come get ur dinner" me: "yere about that where is the dinning room again" mum: "actully i fogot lets just go out for dinner" me: "great but where is my bed room door"
As someone who lives near Biltmore, it maybe privately owned but no one lives there. You can tour it for approximately $50 a trip. It is beautiful but not a real "home'
The places that haven't been finished need to stop showing up on these lists. Versailles 2 is a 15 yr old shell that is starting to rust and weather more than progress to completion. Also, if none of these properties are as large or valuable as Biltmore, then that should be the #1 property.
Is that the property where the owner built areas of the home without a permit and was told to tear it down. Was the property abandoned and I believe the neighbors were so upset about this housing being built.
@@dphotos007 If your referring to the Biltmore Estates then the answer is no. Biltmore Estates is a mansion built by the Vanderbilt's I think in the late 1890s maybe early 1900's in Asheville North Carolina USA. Needless to say but that family had money 💰💰💰 mountains of 💰 and if I had to guess they had I little bit of a guilty conscience, for what I don't know. Anyway it's an absolute beautiful mansion designed to resemble mansions/castles in England and France atop a hill with a village (small town) with all the necessities. He wanted dairy farms and all the other farm animals and schools, stores, and possibly even a Dr but I don't know for sure just imagine a small village with a castle on the hilltop. Mr Vanderbilt wanted the estate to self sustaining in hopes the cost of maintaining the mansion and grounds not blow his family fortune and for the most part it faired ok. It's a tourist attractions today with over a million visitors each year and is still ran by the Vanderbilt's descendants today in a trust. It's an amazingly beautiful estate that's one of Asheville's largest employer's when all totaled if you get a chance you should visit it you'll not be disappointed heck now I'm thinking about taking a drive over to North Carolina to see it again it's been 30 years since I've been there.
@@a-takit9633 I went there a couple years ago it's very impressive. They turned the stables into a fully functioning restaurant, not sure if it was like that 30 years ago when you went, but the food is pretty good.
@@a-takit9633 I like the History behind the Biltmore Estate, like during WW1 and WW2 the US Government made a deal with them to send over priceless artwork and artifacts to the house on their private railroad from Washington DC and other areas because they were scared that the Nazis would try to bomb our cities. It was all done in secret and the Government stationed armed guards throughout the house and in front of the rooms storing the artwork. It's not a very well known story though. But had the Nazis or China or someone attacked us and destroyed Washington DC the Biltmores would have went down in History as very humble people who saved priceless artwork from being destroyed for no reason. A lot of these people aren't as greedy as you might think, they just happen to be very successful and spending their money creates jobs, hoarding their money doesn't help anyone.
@Alice Smith you have fucked up morals if you think upholding some societal conception is more important than ensuring that everyone has the essentials required to live, such as food and a shelter over their heads.
Given that rich people usually value privacy over anything else (so do I BTW) I’m always amazed how they have houses and boats that require staff the size of a football team to clean/maintain. So yeah you have a $500 billion home where you can’t even walk around naked because you run into staff around every corner.
To most of the comments: That view from your glass house atop your high horse must be lovely. Tell us more about your unending altruism and how you wouldn't be singing a different tune if you were in the same position as these people.
