Nearly every property in the area sells for hundreds of millions of dollars and 1500 Hill Road is the most it’s, plaintiff of all purchased in 2016 by Chen Han Tian, the home cost two hundred and seventy million dollars.
One might expect a giant mansion, but 1500 Hill Road is actually only nine thousand two hundred and twelve square feet, though it’s very big by average standards, especially in Hong Kong. It is still the smallest home on our list.
Very little is known about the house, as it has been constantly under construction, since it was purchased, it is assumed the home will carry the same modern white design as many of the other homes in the area, regardless of the interior of the home.
The exterior is sure to provide stunning views of the city and the lush forests around it number two Louie, the fourteenth home 301 million dollars. I cannot lie Chateau Louie. The 14th is my favorite home.
I mean just look at it. This is what luxury homes are meant to be: a flawless combination of old and new, though the home looks like it once belonged to a king. This mansion was actually built in 2009 to replicate some of the most luxurious historic buildings in France located only a few miles from Versailles.
It seems fitting the homes sold for 301 million dollars in 2015 to Mohammed bin Salman one of his many opulent homes and though the home really does look like an 18th century mansion. It has enough modern touches to really make your head spin.
For example, the fountains that long, the courtyards and gardens are all connected to your phone with an app you can adjust the color of the lights, the brightness and even the pattern of the fountains there’s, even more fancy touches inside.

Beyond the glass you’ll, see koi in Sturgeon swimming in the clean water. Are not the best if relaxing and meditating, but I ever feeling I’d – have no problem doing it here. I might have to call up mr.

Chandeliers, hang in nearly every room, giving a sense of grandeur that is hard to beat. The interior of the home is over 50,000 square feet, spanning several kitchens libraries ballrooms living areas and reception rooms.
However, the real fun can be found at downstairs. There’s, a spooky wine cellar that holds up to 3,000 bottles, and you might need to use quite a few of them every weekend, because the home also comes with a night club.
The night club has state-of-the-art, sound systems, dance floor and a bar for the full clubbing experience without even having to rent a lift. The club is also brimming with expensive art and statues, but that’s.
Not all the house also has an indoor pool and jacuzzi if it’s a bit too chilly to venture outside this pool also has rainfall features for a completely unique experience. Hmm, I love this home number.
One villa leopolda, 438 million dollars located on the Oasis, that is the French Riviera villa leopolda, has been a haven for the wealthy for decades built on land that was once owned by king leopold ii.
The location provides stunning views of the mediterranean, and the mountains surrounding the villa is the third largest home in the world with a main home that totals over 80 thousand square feet, the grounds covered 20 acres, which is equivalent of 8 football fields in the home, sale.

However, after the market crash in 2008, the purchaser backed out of the deal which led to a court case and having to forfeit his hefty 39 million dollar deposit Sarah, what kind of home could possibly be worth 438 million dollars well, in my opinion, villa leopolda is Worth every single penny, as I mentioned, the grounds are massive – include a garden with eight hectares of olive orange and lemon trees, which require 50 full-time workers.
To maintain there are 12 pools that span across the property, including two paired with each of the guest houses. The main home has 19 deluxe rooms each with an ensuite, bathroom and balcony. Of course, the home is a mix of exposed, wood and exposed stone which gives a cozy yet grandiose, aesthetic.

The sports court has a large bowling alley, a full sized movie, theater and tennis courts to entertain the homeowners and all the guests with all of its unique features. It’s, no wonder why the home has been featured in movies and media for decades, including in Alfred Hitchcock’s to catch a thief.
