Top 3 Most Expensive Homes In The World

At some point in our lives, we all day dream about what it would be like to be a millionaire or a billionaire.  We think about the parties and the clothes, and the jewelry, but most of all, we think about the homes we could buy with all the money.  So you call up a home builder like Dunhill Homes and have them build you a mansion… can you imagine how much fun it would be to decorate and furnish a home with all those rooms?  Think about all the garden ideas you could have.  To think that some people in this world get to actually live that life!

Here is a list of three of the most expensive homes in the entire world.  It is not always easy to make these determinations, because people wealthy enough to buy homes like these like to keep their purchases private, so they hide their ownership through LLC’s or other businesses.  That being said, I am pretty sure that those that live in the top 3 most expensive homes in the world have been found out.

#3: The Penthouse at One Hyde Park
The Penthouse covers 17,000 square feet and looks over London’s largest park.  While this particular residence went for $200 million (140 million Pounds), the rest of the “lower” flats are fairly expensive as well.  The buildings in the posh area of Hyde Park come with their own private gyms, a his and hers study, squash courts, and wine tasting rooms.  Added to the luxury are the tremendous safety features.  They are protected by the British SAS, which is their Special Forces, and bulletproof glass in the windows.  They have iris scanners and panic rooms for each residence as well.

#2: Villa Leopolda, France
King Leopold of Belgium, desired to have a home built in 1906, which launched this breath-taker; however it was recently was sold to Mikhail Prokhorov, the owner of the Brooklyn Nets for $500 million.  Located along the French Riviera, the backyard is still large and sprawling.  So much so, that it takes 50 full-time gardeners to keep it up.  The home itself has 11 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms.  If swimming in the French Riviera or walking through the lush gardens in the backyard does not sound appealing, maybe a blockbuster hit will be showing in the movie theater built inside.

#1: Antilia, Mumbai, India
Billionaire investor, Mukesh Ambani bout this home for $1 billion!  This is by far the highest ever paid for a home, and many people believe it will top the list for quite some time.  The residence is more like a skyscraper because it reaches up at 570 feet tall.  It is 27 stories high, but since each room is twice as tall as a regular room, it is actually about 40 stories high.  The total space is 400,000 square feet and houses a full-time staff of 600 people.  There is an indoor and outdoor bar, a spa, a yoga studio, and a 50 person movie theater.  Every floor has lush gardens for the supposedly quiet man that actually owns this home.  It is one of the tallest buildings of Mumbai.
