The universe is full of extravagance and splendor, including lavish villas, multi-million dollar vehicles, and somewhat crazy private jets. And while money can't buy you happiness, it can sure buy you some amazing mansions that will give you satisfaction. In this article, we look at the world's most luxurious and expensive homes, from fully equipped palaces with marble floors to estates decorated with gold.
1. Swish Supermansion - California, United States
This gorgeous home in Bel Air is perhaps one of the most luxurious and expensive properties in the area. The Swish super mansion, also known as “Sabornne”, has nine bedrooms spread over an interior area of approximately 25,000 square meters. If that's not enough, the property still has another 20,000 feet of outdoor area, filled with stunning gardens, a continuous pool, and gorgeous sun decks.
Furthermore, “Sabornne” is simply made for someone who likes to live big and isn’t afraid to pay a quick price. The hotel has 15 impressive restrooms, an art gallery for art lovers, a fitness center, some giant sculptures, and a carefully temperature-monitored wine cellar. Swish's ultra-mansion has a world-class glass car lift that stores the homeowner's car collection. One only needs to pay a hefty price tag of $88 million for all this.
2. Casablanca Estate - Cape Town, South Africa
Anyone lucky enough to visit the Mother City, Cape Town, knows that the city is not only one of the most stunning cities in the world but also a place where real estate investment is worth it. Casablanca real estate is a perfect example of the luxury opportunities the city has to offer but at a much higher price than other countries. This $35 million mansion was built on the banks of Camps Bay, one of the city's most affluent locations.
The Casablanca estate offers the most impressive view of the sea, with eight luxurious suites and crystal and gold candelabra in strategic places around the palace. In addition, the 3,723-square-foot home also has 12 gorgeous bathrooms, an entertainment center, a massage room, a squash court, a movie room, and a garage that can accommodate up to 14 luxury cars. To complement all this, the villa has an 82-square-foot spa.
3. Lavish Bel Air Mansion - California, United States
Designed by world-famous immobilizer inventor Bruce Makowski, the mansion in Bel Air is considered one of the most groundbreaking buildings in the world. The property is located in an affluent part of Bel-Air, among the residences of some of the world's richest people. The 42,000-square-foot home has a 17,000-square-foot outdoor deck with a glass-enclosed infinity pool and a flat-screen movie projector for anyone who feels like watching a movie while swimming.
Also known as “Billionaire,” the luxury home has 21 bathrooms and 17 bedrooms. The living room features gold-encrusted champagne bottles in a palace that spans four luxurious levels. The elevators connecting the four floors are simply lined with rare crocodile skin that is not easy to find anywhere else. In conclusion, the palace also includes a garage for impressive cars worth $30 million.
4. Luxe Swiss Chalet - London, United Kingdom
At first glance, the Luxe Swiss Chalet appears to be located somewhere in the Swiss Alps, but the palace is located in London's Hampton Court. The Swiss chalet, which was imported in 1882, came to London and was recently discovered to be on the market for up to $6 million. The mansion offers four of the most expensive bathrooms we've seen, including $23.5 million gold-plated Italian sinks and $12 million copper baths.
The land is 5,478 meters long and has some unique characteristics. The private riverfront has a private indoor beach in the basement, for example, with 40 tons of sand, wine racks, and heated floors. Luxe Swiss Mansion still has its Japanese water garden and its bridge lit by off-center lights if the enclosed beach and private river weren't enough.
5. Ceausescu Mansion - Bucharest, Romania
There's something about the outside that looks unassuming, making Primavera Palace's opulent interior a rare palace to admire. The palace is the former home of Nicolae Ceausescu, the popular former leader of Romania. The 80-room palace was built in the 1960s and is located in Bucharest. The gorgeous home has so much to do, from the gold and gold tiled ceilings, mirrors, and bathroom.
But there is more! Ceausescu's palace also contains a swimming pool, a theater, and a house whose every little detail is lavishly furnished. But let's be honest, it's a typical trait of the average tyrant to have excessive accommodation. This makes perfect sense when it is said that Ceausescu personally took care of selecting the dramatic candelabra and mosaics for the house.
