Page 1 of 2  Bill Gates: The Washington state property of tech genius Bill Gates was worth over $135 million at the last estimate back in 2005. Property taxes alone cost him over $1 million annually. The multi-million dollar home includes an underwater music system and a personal shower room for the pool. It’s been the site of numerous gatherings for influential people in the tech industry and the U.S. government.  William Randolph Hearst: The Hearst mansion in Beverly Hills went up for sale last summer at a record price of $165 million. There have been no buyers yet but someone is sure to take an interest in this house which served as the headquarters to John F. Kennedy’s presidential campaign. You could house a whole organisation in the nearly thirty bedrooms and entertain everyone with three swimming pools, disco and movie theater all inside the home.  Donald Trump: Is it any wonder that a man famous primarily for being rich is the owner of a mansion that is one of the most expensive in the world? It’s located in Palm Beach, Florida and is on the market for $125 million. This 62,000 square foot behemoth has a library, home theater, wine cellar, fitness studio, 7 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms and a 100 foot long swimming pool. In other words: not subprime.  Rick Schroder: This television actor may be best known for his role on NYPD Blue but is also well-known in the world of real estate. Although he currently lives in a moderately expensive $4 million home in Topanga Canyon, he has sold two other properties in the past few years for a total of over $30 million. He sold a home in Scottsdale priced around the same value as the home he has now and also sold a $27 million ranch home in Colorado.  Joel Horowitz: You may not recognise this name but you’ll recognise the brand he co-founded: Tommy Hilfiger. The brand earned him a pretty penny so it’s no shock that he’s got a Lake Tahoe home worth a staggering $100 million. It’s a 20,000 square foot stone mansion that’s got just five bedrooms but also includes a 3,000+ bottle wine cellar, an atrium, indoor heated pool and a movie theater in the house.  Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale: This hot celebrity music couple had no qualms about shelling out over $15 million in 2006 to purchase a Beverly Hills mansion belonging to another celebrity, Jennifer Lopez. The 10,000 square foot mansion sits on a two acre plot of land in an exclusive gated community in Beverly Hills. It only has 4 bedrooms but also has basketball and tennis courts, swimming pool and home theater.  Jennifer Lopez: Speaking of JLo, the mansion she sold to Stefani isn’t the only pricey property that she’s owned. Back in 2005 she reportedly sold her $11 million Miami Beach mansion (which had 8 bedrooms and a mere 11 fireplaces) because it reminded her too much of Ben Affleck. These days she and her new hubby are residing in a Long Island estate complete with reinforced gates to protect her family. The house next door to them is up for sale for $2.3 million.  Prince Bandar: If you follow international politics then you know that Prince Bandar bin Sultan is a Saudi Arabian prince who became mired in controversy when it was suggested that President Bush informed him very early on about the U.S. intention to invade Iraq. He owns a ski lodge in Aspen called Hala Ranch that is up for sale at an incredible price of $135 million. Larger than the White House, it has 15 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, 24K gold fixtures and sits on a mountaintop property that is nearly 100 acres in size.  Dracula: Okay so the fictional character doesn’t really own a home but he was based on the real life ruler, Vlad the Impaler, whose castle in Romania is currently on the market. Called Bran Castle, this 17-bedroom 13th Century work of architecture is currently being operated as a museum but is on the market as a residence to the tune of $140 million.  Chris Tucker: Actor and comedian Chris Tucker lives in a 5-bedroom, 8-bathroom home that cost him nearly $4 million. There’s a library and a home theater but the real entertainment is to be found in an upstairs gaming room. Apparently the bedroom has ‘disco lighting’ that is more scary than sexy.  Spelling Home: This house always makes the list of expensive celebrity homes because it’s frequently rumoured to be up for sale with a price tag of $150 million. Among the fun things that you’ll find at this mansion are eight double car garages, 6 gardens, 12 fountains and 4 bars.  Barack Obama: The presidential hopeful got into some hot water when it came out that he’d purchased a $1.65 million home in the suburbs of Chicago in a shady deal with Tony Rezko. |
