16 The Most Expensive Houses In The US

Famous and Famously Expensive

First up is currently the nation's most expensive home, sporting a price tag of $350 million. The Chartwell Estate, located in Beverly Hills, California, is owned by the late head of Univision, Jerry Perenchi.

Built in 1933, the French neoclassical home encompasses 25,000 square feet and is situated on a 10-acre expanse of manicured lawns and gardens. The TV executive bought the home in 1986 and then over the years purchased surrounding properties, all of which now makes up the current estate. The home itself includes a ballroom, a formal salon, a temperature-controlled "world-class" wine cellar, and covered parking for 40 cars. The property also has a tennis court and guest house. Moreover, it affords views of not only the Pacific Ocean, but also downtown Los Angeles.

This manse might look familiar to fans of the old television program, "The Beverly Hillbillies" because the exterior facade was filmed as the home of the Clampett family for the series. Oh yes, the home also boasts a 75-foot pool, perhaps better known as the cement pond to the show's viewers. (That's pronounced SEE-ment pond!)

Bel Air Beauty

Before the Chartwell Estate was listed, this 38,000-square-foot house in exclusive Bel Air, California was the costliest property on the market. At $250 million, the house is replete with luxury and amenities. Developed by handbag magnate Bruce Makowsky, the home also has more than 17,000 square feet of entertainment decks and an outdoor pop-up theater.

LA's Largest Private Home

Over on the west side of Los Angeles, in the Holmby Hills neighborhood, is The Manor, on the market for $200 million. The French chateau-style estate was formerly the home of superstar television producer Aaron Spelling and his wife Candy, and is now owned by Petra Stunt, daughter of Formula One billionaire Bernie Ecclestone. Stunt bought the home six years ago for an all-cash bargain of $85 million and then updated much of it to a more contemporary design. Real estate prices have gone up, hence the current steeper price tag.

LA's Largest Private Home Entryway Stairs

It may not be the priciest property in the area but it is indeed the largest — even larger than the White House. Constructed in 1988, the house was designed by architects James Langenheim & Associates. Called "Candyland" after the previous owner, the Manor takes up 56,500 square feet, and its estimated 123 rooms include 14 bedrooms and 27 bathrooms. The owners created a multitude of specialized rooms in the house, such as a flower-cutting room, a humidity-controlled silver storage room, a barbershop and multiple gift-wrapping rooms. In the basement, you can find the bowling alley and its shoe closet.

Once she took possession, Stunt, who is married to English billionaire James Stunt, added a lounge/entry lined in black-striped marble and a large aquarium in the study, and gave the basement nightclub a makeover. Five maid's bedrooms and two butler's suites are housed in a separate wing of the home.

The 4.7 acres of grounds surrounding the home include gardens, a citrus orchard, a tennis court, a koi pond, and a swimming pool with a pool house. The property also has a motor court and 16 carports that can hold more than 100 automobiles.

Historically Significant LA Estate

Another top-priced property in the Holmby Hills is the Oakwood Estate, now on the market for $180 million. The 10-acre property sold in 2016 for a mere $90 million, and the relisting is being attributed to "intense market interest," according to the real estate company, Mercer Vine.

The historically significant home was designed by Robert D. Farquhar, one of the leading architects of the early 20th century in California, and it sits between Sunset Boulevard and the Los Angeles Country Club. It is an Italian villa that combines classic European with modern details, both styles remnants of previous celebrity owners. The house was originally built in 1936 for Florence Quinn, ex-wife of Arthur Letts Jr., who was the original owner of the legendary Playboy Mansion. Over the years it was subsequently occupied by Sonny and Cher, Tony Curtis, 20th Century Fox cofounder Joseph Schenck, Superior Oil founder William Keck, and Joseph Drown, the founder of the Hotel Bel-Air.

According to Business Insider,Ziff had sold the publishing arm of Ziff-Davis for $1.4 billion more than a decade earlier.
