15 Most Expensive Homes 2021

there are some homes out there that only the upper echelons of society can afford and that the rest of us can only dream about homes so outrageously extravagant you'd need to be a billionaire to afford living there so here are the top 15 most expensive homes in the world number 15 opus kicking off our list is a modest home in beverly hills known as opus opus is full of plenty of cool stuff to kick the asking price up nice and high but what will really do your wallet in is the art inside sure the architecture of the grounds is spectacular but it's what's on the inside that counts right and so if you're an art connoisseur or collector then this place might be just for you but what else is going on inside of those walls well opus has two separate bars and what is known as the wine station to help get your night going then there's the gourmet kitchen that comes complete with a coffee brewer that can be fully controlled by an ipad and for the film buffs out in beverly hills opus also has a 15-seat private theater all in all the home has 7 bedrooms 11 bathrooms a 20-foot waterfall 2 swimming pools a 900 bottle wine vault and 117 bottle champagne vault and seeing as how this entry is so low on our list consider it cheap at 100 million [Music] number 14 18 to 19 kensington gardens you can see 18 to 19 kensington gardens on the aptly named billionaire row in london kensington gardens is just one of those homes of lakshmi matal an indian business magnate and chairman and ceo of the world's largest steel making company arcelormittal and with credentials like that you can rest assured that mr matala is a billionaire built in the 1800s mattel's mega mansion boasts around 55 000 square feet of space that was once two separate abodes that he merged into one the first thing you'll notice when you pull up to mattel's absurd home are the 20 parking spots for all of his fancy rides the interior of the mansion has 12 bedrooms an indoor pool and even a turkish bath for when mattel comes home from a hard day of cashing checks and counting all of the zeros in his bank account but mattel wasn't the first rich person to own the property some of his predecessors include the rothschilds david khalili and bernie ecclestone and when matal needs to ask his neighbors for a cup of sugar he's knocking on the doors of none other than prince william and kate middleton how much does it cost to have royal neighbors just 128 million dollars [Music] number 13 924 ballet road next on our list is a modest home situated in the belair neighborhood of los angeles 924 bel air road looks more like a compound than it does someone's home but lo and behold this is where one lucky resident gets to hang their hat and put their feet up at the end of a hard day's work the 924 bel air mansion has just two primary or master bedrooms in the 38 000 square foot abode but take a look around and you'll find 10 guest suites three kitchens five bars a massage room a wellness spa and 21 different bathrooms just in case you like a little privacy for when you hit the head and no mansion is gonna be complete without an infinity pool four-lane bowling alley outdoor theater two wine cellars and a helipad on the roof there's so much going on in here that there's really no reason to ever leave but perhaps the best and yet most insane part of this bel air mansion is the candy wall because when you're this loaded life is oh so sweet and just how much is 924 bel air listed for a cool 150 million dollars number 12 mar-a-lago mar-a-lago made so many headlines from 2016 to 2020 that it just may be easy to forget that it's one of the us president's many homes and not just some island getaway the massive estate was built in 1927 by marjorie merriweather post and was purchased by donald trump in 1985 for just 10 million bucks and while that certainly is a lot of money the man managed to add some value to his property over the next 30 years or so and while he did convert it into a private club it has since become his private residence again since leaving the white house all in all his house is insane and dripping with luxury there are gold-plated sinks antique furniture and even a 20 000 square foot ballroom that alone cost him 7 million it looks like a place fit for a king and their court but don't forget about his private golf club where he goes to hit the green blow off some steam and maybe even close a few deals engulfing is no cheap hobby it's so big that it has a private helipad so the former president can avoid the area's beach traffic today this palm beach home has an estimated value of about 160 million dollars number 11 the jack warner estate before it was scooped up by one of the richest people in the world in 2020 the jack warner estate in beverly hills california was the home of the former record executive david geffen now the estate is just one of many homes of jeff bezos geffen bought the house for just 47.5 million but the listing for the house in 2021 is probably enough to make the former owner cry with regret that's because the jack warner estate went for almost three times as much 165 million dollars the estate is a georgian style mansion built by the eponymous jack warner in 1936 with all the money he earned from creating none other than the warner brothers studios you know the studio that's produced what we feel like every movie ever so the warner estate has certainly seen its fair share of millionaires and billionaires so who knows who the next donor will be once jeff bezos has moved to space number 10 for fairfield pond ira rennert ceo and chairman of renko group and all-around billionaire is the lucky owner of four fairfield pond an italian renaissance style home in the hamptons there's no denying that the hamptons is one of the wealthiest and most extravagant locales in the united states but for fairfield pond really puts the neighbors to shame the palatial home sits on 63 acres of beachfront property that renner can enjoy all to himself but the mansion itself is an insane 62 000 square feet with 29 bedrooms so the man can sleep in a new room just about every night for a month 39 bathrooms and what mansion would be complete without a 91 foot dining room it really sounds more of like a banquet hall if anything and thankfully for his guests ira renard knows how to throw a party and we're sure that any children lucky enough to step foot inside this hampton's home love a good game of never-ending hide-and-seek but when folks want to have a little fun there's the bowling alley squash courts tennis courts three swimming pools a basketball court and icing on the cake the garage that can hold up to a hundred cars and all of this can be yours for the price of 248 million dollars number nine mesa vista ranch the mesa vista ranch in the texas panhandle is absolutely stunning ridiculously big sure but still stunning the property of the late american oil mogul t boone pickens the mesa vista ranch sits on about 65 000 acres of land that functions a lot more like its own small town boone lived on his ranch for close to 50 years and during that time built all sorts of amenities both in and around the main house so for starters there are the 20 man-made streams and lakes that he was able to enjoy as part of his conservation efforts towards the area that make for an amazing southern oasis and seeing as how there's so much property you can bet that there are multiple abodes to choose from there's the main multi-structured lodge compound that essentially acts as an on-site hotel for guests and then if you hop in the golf cart and drive six miles southwest you'll find the lake house with close to twelve thousand square feet of space the entire compound is absolutely huge and it's amazing to think that it really is just one man's house but the mesa vista ranch also keeps things interesting with its 11 000 square foot dog kennel a chapel gulf fairways and greens and then a private airport and even a pub it's not a bad deal considering the entire estate cost 250 million number eight odeon tower penthouse the odeon tower is a double skyscraper building in monaco that is no doubt home to some of the richest people in the world but it's not until you reach the 49th floor the penthouse that things really get insane the odeon tower penthouse sits at the tippity top of the second tallest building on europe's mediterranean coastline and is by no means your average penthouse and that's not because it encompasses 35 000 square feet of space but it's because it's five stories tall making it one of the most expensive homes per square foot when it was put on the market back in 2014 but we'll get to the price tag in a moment it's also known as the sky penthouse the odeon tower penthouse gives the filthy rich owner a full 360 degree view of the mediterranean sea and hopefully the owner isn't afraid of heights because this place offers a full rooftop access with an infinity pool and a water slide that will take you down to the balcony below it's absolutely insane and the whole place only costs 330 million bucks number seven the one bel air okay back to bel air there's no way that the uber affluent neighborhood would only house just one of the most expensive homes in the world spanning almost a hundred thousand square feet the house at one bel air isn't just one of the most expensive in the world but it's also one of the largest in the united states this amazingly lavish property was developed by nile nyami and designed by architect paul mclean and the entire endeavor took about 10 years to complete this mega mansion the home for the rich and famous has 26 foot high ceilings 21 bedrooms 5 swimming pools 42 bathrooms and a 30 car garage and puts the homes of even the richest neighbors to shame and of course the house at one bel air sits on top of a hill with panoramic views of downtown los angeles the san gabriel mountains and the pacific ocean so the owner can get just about every type of view depending on their mood and of course there's the price tag as you can be sure that a place like this isn't going to come cheap so just how much does the one bell air cost try a whopping 340 million dollars number six the bubble palace on the rocky cliffs of messife dulesterel along the french riviera is one terrible looking home that only a true artist could ever understand or appreciate the bubble palace was built by the world renowned fashion designer pierre carden and was no doubt home to his many insane parties over the years the entire property is an amazing 13 000 square feet and is embedded into the cliffside but the only problem is the entire home looks like the flintstones of the future live there the previous owner cardin has said in interviews that the bubble palace's shape reminds him of the curves of a woman especially a mother so the round compound makes him feel comfortable the entire place comes with 29 bedrooms a 500 seat amphitheater gardens pools and even a reception hall all across these funky connected domes but perhaps the style does make some sort of sense considering the construction began in 1975 and finally finished in 89 at the time it's probably what kardan thought the future would look like cut to 2021 though and you're looking at a home that costs about 390 million dollars number five villanasedra moving things over to france now we have the villa la cedra this palatial home was originally built in 1830 and was bought in 1904 by king leopold ii of belgium flipped through the calendar about 200 years into the future and the house went up for sale in 2017 by the campari group the home's current owner and they're asking for a king's ransom as well the ville la cedra sits on a humble 35 acres of land most of which are covered in very well-manicured gardens and cedar trees where the villa earns its name the home itself is an 18 000 square foot estate with 14 bedrooms why would anyone need a home with 14 bedrooms is anyone's guess but perhaps they enjoy sleeping in a new room each night you'll never get bored in a place like this but moving about the villa that looks more like a palace and you'll notice all sorts of decadent interiors like the numerous crystal chandeliers intricately carved woodwork and all sorts of 19th century oil paintings and for when they get bored the owner can head outside to the stables to go for a trot with the horses around the property and maybe even stop by at their olympic sized swimming pool so how much was the campari group asking for the villain etc well 410 million bucks number four whittenhurst mansion the wittenhurst mansion in london england is a georgian revival built back in the early 20th century and since that time it's been home to some pretty prominent and wealthy figures it's even been used as a filming location for big time movies like the lost prince tipping the velvet and fame academy needless to say the whitner's mansion has a literal rich history and so it should make sense that it's one of the most expensive homes in the world but it's also old and was subject to some natural wear and tear over the years so it underwent a substantial refurbishment in 2008 which only adds to the value further this london mansion is the second largest residence in london with 90 000 square feet of space to explore and a grand total of 65 rooms 25 of which are bedrooms but one of the largest and most extravagant rooms here is the ballroom that's 70 feet long with 20-foot ceilings the woodenhurst mansion also boasts a massive dining room gallery room and a billiard room when you want to shoot some pool at the end of the long day and it only costs 450 million dollars number three villa lapolda all right we're getting closer the villa la polda sits right on the ocean in france and is owned by lily safra widow of the banker edmund safra and while she must miss her husband terribly she was left with a pretty penny to take care of herself with the villa lalapolda sits atop 50 acres on the alps matter teams department of the cortez or it was even the setting for alfred hitchcock's film to catch a thief in 1955. so what's so special about this french villa other than the views the acreage and the fact that it's on top of a mountain the property is home to a commercial greenhouse an outdoor kitchen the obvious pool and even a helipad so ms safra can come and go as she pleases from just about anywhere in the world but if the name lapolda sounds a bit familiar that's because it's named after the same leopold ii of belgium who owned the villa la cedra the king had a lot of money and he knew how to spend it but he gifted this french villa to his mistress in the early 20th century the home has since been redesigned and is now worth an estimated 750 million dollars number two antelia tower antilla tower in mumbai india is one of the most extravagant places to live in the world and one of the most expensive the antilla tower was designed in part with chicago architecture firm perkins and will and the santa monica hospitality design firm hirschbender associates all for one man indian businessman and billionaire mukesh ambani antillia tower is a 400 000 square foot residence in mumbai's kumbala hill with 27 stories that ambani doesn't have to share with anybody and of course the massive home has plenty of cool stuff inside like a 50-seat movie theater six floors devoted just to car storage a car service station a temple and nine high-speed elevators to get you from top to bottom and back again in a flash oh and don't forget about the snow room a room that sprays snowflakes from its walls it's absolutely insane and to have his own private winter wonderland in india ambani spent between one and two billion dollars number one buckingham palace although it's a palace it's important to remember that buckingham palace is still someone's home the queen of england's home has an incredible 775 rooms with 52 royal and guest bedrooms 78 bathrooms and 92 offices and is so big that for all she knows people have been living there for decades without anyone even noticing how hard could that be and while the crown owns plenty of castles and estates throughout the uk they have owned buckingham palace for almost 200 years just think of all the history and stories embedded into these walls and while buckingham palace isn't going to be put up for sale probably ever you can most definitely put a price tag on it in all the estimated value of this palatial royal residence is about 3 billion watch our binge watching playlist if you'd like to watch all of our most popular top 15 videos grab a drink grab a snack and get ready to binge [Music]
