When it comes to housing,what matters most is the idea of shelter at the end. I thought that was the idea at first until it hit me that there are people who don’t just shelter but enjoy life in those ‘shelters’.Those people are loaded and are living it large in term of lavish homes based on the cost of their houses . Here are the top 5 expensive houses in the world.
1.Buckingham Palace – Estimated at $1.56 Billion (London)
The Most Expensive House in The World is the Buckingham Palace valued at over $1.5 Billion. Same as the White House it serves administrative purposes but the place once used to be the sole residence of the most influential family in the world. With incredible historical value the Buckingham Palace is valued at an astonishing $1.56 Billion if it were ever to be listed on the market.
2. Antilla – Estimated at $1 Billion (Mumbai,India)
It is is one of most expensive home in the world with its price tag of $1 Billion. Its 27th floor is believed to be single residence. Build for the Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani, it took almost 5% of his net worth to be completed. In addition,it has over 600 workers currently employed in order for it to function on a day-to-day basis.
3 .Vila Leopolda – Estimated at $736 Million (Cote D’Azure, France)
Vila Leopolda is probably the most expensive villa in Europe with its 20 acres coverage. This half a billion house is currently owned by Mikhail Prokhorov, owner of the Brooklyn Nets.
4 .The White House – Estimated at $320 Million (Washington D.C.)
Standing strong on the 4th position we have the White House. We all know it and according to real estate companies the property would be valued at $320,364,354 if it were ever to hit the market. However, that is very unlikely since it is used as the presidential house since the 1800s. Although the place is not as big or luxurious as the other ones, it certainly has plenty of historical value.
5 Fairfield,NY – Estimated at $248 Million(Sagaponack, New York)
The Hamptons is the ultimate symbol of wealth in terms on positioning your Summer properties though the square foot price has dropped only by a little since 2007. Positioned in the Hamptons, Fairfield is so big that it has its own power supply on site. In addition, it has 63 Acres and 29 Bedrooms.
