When your net worth is in the billions, your home’s amenities read more like a resort than a place to live. For a luxury mansion, pools, gardens, multiple-car garages and spas come standard, but these listings take the game to the next level. The current record for most expensive home sold in America is held by 60 Further Lane in East Hampton, NY, which hedge fund manager Barry Rosenstein purchased for $147 million in May 2014. But these mega-homes are making a play for the 8- and 9-figure club with these gargantuan list prices.
10. Twin Points
1101 Marine Dr
Laguna Beach, CA 92651
3 bed, 3 bath, 2,308 sq. ft.
List Price: $65,000,000
Over $28,000 per square foot? That sounds like a ludicrous proposition, but what you’re really getting for your $65 million is the 2.8 acres of landmark waterfront property comprised of two huge landforms jutting out into the Pacific Ocean. This pristine property feels more like living on a private island in Hawaii than an hour south of Los Angeles.

List Price: $67,000,000
If a more traditional kind of luxury mansion is more your speed, this estate in Coral Gables should fit the bill.

7 bed, 11 bath, 22,164 sq. ft.
List Price: $67,500,000
“Venetian palazzo” is how the listing describes this massive 22,000+ square foot estate; calling it a “house” wouldn’t begin to do it justice. It has all the amenities you’d expect–pool, guest house, massive patio, cabana, balcony, elevator, private dock–as well as 300 feet of waterfront.

3. Sycamore Valley Ranch
5225 Figueroa Mt Rd
Los Olivos, CA 93441
6 bed, 9 bath, 12,598 sq. ft.
List Price: $100,000,000
You probably are familiar with Sycamore Valley Ranch in Santa Barbara by it’s old name, Neverland Ranch. While the former home of late pop legend Michael Jackson no longer features carnival rides and a zoo, it does have a tennis and basketball court, 3 guest homes, a pool, multiple barns, a movie theater, and a waterfall on over 2,000 acres of land. Jackson bought the property in 1987 for $19.5 million and lived there until 2003 when it was raided by police amidst accusations that he had molested children. He abandoned the ranch, saying it had been tainted, and it eventually went into foreclosure. The ranch has now been fully restored and rebranded, with a shiny pricetag to match.

2. Palazzo di Amore
9505 Lania Ln
Beverly Hills, CA 90210
12 bed, 23 bath, 53,000 sq. ft.
List Price: $149,000,000
You’re in luck, the most expensive home on the market dropped its tremendous price tag from $195 million to a more reasonable $149 million. But even with the reduced price, it stood as the most expensive home on the US market (until the monolith at number one entered the arena, that is). Real estate mogul Jeff Greene, who made his estimated $3.2 billion fortune when the real estate bubble burst in Greece, listed his Palazzo di Amore in Beverly Hills in late 2014, but after languishing for almost a year on the market, he dropped the price by $46 million. It has enough space to entertain thousands of guests, parking for 150 cars, and a vineyard. If buying it is out of your budget, it’s also available to rent for $350,000 per month.

1. Le Palais Royal
935 Hillsboro Mile
Hillsboro Beach, FL 33062
11 bed, 17 bath, 70,774 sq. ft.
List Price: $159,000,000
Watch out! While most properties are dropping their sky-high prices, this Hillsboro Beach property just jacked it up $20 million. Construction tycoon Robert Pereira began construction on le Palais Royal, which he modeled after the Palace of Versailles, in 2009, then simply changed his mind about living there and put it on the market instead. It puts the Palazzo di Amore to shame, boasting an ice skating rink, go kart track, full nightclub, first ever IMAX home theater, and $3 million in 22k gold leaf detailing. Taxes alone will run you $380,000 a year. Holy cow.
