Golden Mile Beachfront Property, Marbella, Spain
Have an extra $95 million to spare?
No?
Well, that’s a shame.
You’re missing out on this 10 bedroom, 17 bathroom modest mansion in Marbella, Spain.
Over 43,000 sq-ft of luxurious space includes a private heated pool, a private garage, a
breath-taking beach view, private cinema, lift, cascading waterfall, sauna, and library.
Oh, there’s also a medical room and staff accommodations.
You know, like every fancy home should have.

The Seaside Palace, Istanbul, Turkey $95 million can buy you a lot of things.
Like 60,126,582 packs of gum.
Or 45,238,095 grande hot coffees from Starbucks.
Or, now hear me out, you could buy this one seaside palace that’s 5-stories-high and
more than 26,000 sq-ft (2,500 sq-m) of enclosed space.
The lot breaks 43,000 sq-ft (4,000 sq-m) and includes views of the hills of Turkey and
360’ (110 m) of seaside border.
The building is an elegant baroque style with 23 spacious bedrooms, 8 comfortable bathrooms,
and more living rooms than there are blind mice.

Fifth Avenue Duplex, New York City, NY If you can make it there, you’ll make it
anywhere.
Clearly, because making it in New York City apparently means shelling out $120 million
for a co-op.
Dubbed the “most expensive home for sale” in New York City in 2016, this fifth avenue
duplex spreads over 12,000 sq-ft (1,114 sq-m) and features a wine cellar, a grand marble
staircase, gallery, and a spacious master suite that you could get lost in.
The home was last owned by American banker and businessman John Gutfreund.

Palazzata, Speightstown, Barbados 80,729 sq-ft (7,432 sq-m) of space that none
of us will ever get a chance to live in will cost us $125 million that we’ll never have.
Sad face.
Well, at least we have the internet to marvel at this Barbados luxury estate.
Equipped with its own fitness center, clubhouse, eight private lifts, underground parking,
spa, coffee shop, health club, boat facilities, wine storage, and laundry room, it’s no
wonder someone would pay quite a sum for it.

One Hyde Park Penthouse, Knightsbridge, United Kingdom
The last time this Knightsbridge penthouse sold in 2014, it was for the small sum of
$237 million (£177 million).
Chump change.
Easy peasy.
I make that in a day!
But they keep losing my check in the mail!
Arrrrgh!
But you can bet when my check comes in, I’ll be heading off to London to put an offer on
this 16,000 sq-ft (1,486 sq-m) duplex penthouse.
The views of Hyde Park and the beautiful Mandarin Oriental hotel are to-die-for while the amenities
in the apartment complex ensure I won’t get bored anytime soon.
Andddd …. dreamtime is over.
Sad face again.
5.
Great Island, Connecticut Why just buy a house when I can get out there
and buy an entire island that comes with a house?
On the secluded lands of Great Island sits 63-acres of rich land connected to civilization
by one land bridge.
The house on the island was built in 1902 and features six bedrooms.
The lot is brimming with extras like a yacht basin, small houses scattered on the property,
an exercise track, and immediate beach access, and this northeastern paradise can be yours
for the small sum of $175 million.
4.
The Bel-Air Spec Manor, Los Angeles, California At $250 million , the Bel-Air Spec Manor in
Los Angeles was the most expensive home ever listed in the United States.
The included helicopter, car and art collection, and full-time staff members that come with
the purchase may have something to do with the exorbitant price.
The 38,000 sq-ft (3,530 sq-m) abode is four stories tall and was designed with 12 individual
bedrooms and almost one bathroom per bedroom.
The seven staff members make use of the three kitchens while you get some use out of the
four-lane bowling alley, 40-seat entertainment room and 30’ television, and a glass-themed
game room with glass ping-pong, foosball, and pool tables.

Villa Les Cedres, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France Originally built in 1830 off the coast of
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, this timeless, expansive mansion sits on 35 acres of land and houses
14 bedrooms, multiple sitting rooms, and a library.
Of course, that’s not all there is to this $410 million home, which sits on 18,000 sq-ft
(1,672 sq-m).
It’ll be difficult to decide whether you should be engrossed in the lush greenery and
incredible hill-top views offered on this lot - or the lavish interior.
Either way, it seems to be well worth the money..
that we won't ever have.
2.
Villa la Leopolda, Cote D’Azure, France In 2008, when this French villa was last on
the market, it sold for $750 million.
Yeah, I had to stop and catch my breath, too.
Though its price may seem ridiculous, it was apparently reasonable enough for Lily Safra,
Brazilian philanthropist who apparently got all of her wealth the old-fashioned way … by
getting married!
When Safra bought the detached villa, she became a part of the building’s lengthy
history, which began when its construction was completed in 1931 on an estate that once
belonged to King Leopold II of Belgium.
The expansive grounds have everything a person would need, though you’d have to find a
way past its current Russian billionaire owner, who purchased the property from Safra.

Antila, Mumbai, India Where would you stick your 27-story high,
$2 billion home?
Right in the middle of a destitute neighborhood, that's where!
Oh, no?
You wouldn’t?
Why, is it because that’s weird?
Well, you’re going to have to talk to Mukesh Ambani, India’s richest man and the world’s
sixth richest, who thought the 400,000 sq-ft (37,161 sq-m) livable Antila tower needed
to be constructed in a poverty-stricken region of India.
The building is equipped for six people and houses six parking lots, an ice room with
man-made snow, a spa and yoga studio, and a host of bedrooms and bathrooms.
Oh, and a helipad.
You know.
Just because.
Thanks for watching!
Just remember, don’t get too envious.
The bottom line is that all of these places are just boxes to live in … just really
nice boxes.
And remember to always be thankful if you have a place to call home, no matter how humble.
