While it’s not everyday that we get to hear about island-buying as a great idea gift, there are other expensive ways to investing your money. Like, a house. With my Google goggles on and thinking cap in place, I have here a list of the most expensive houses as of early 2010. Enjoy.
5. Three Ponds worth $75,000,000
Is located in Bridgehampton, New York. It has its own golf course called “Three Ponds” due to the fact that it has three ponds , and the expansive grounds also house 14 different gardens, each with their own theme. That beats gardening in Farmville.
4. Donald Trump Palace worth $125,000,000
Donald Trump owns this 18-bedroom waterfront palace, which is listed as costing $125,000,000. Located in Florida, Trump says it’s location in Palm Beach is “the richest community in the world” and it doesn’t seem like he’s joking.
3. Updown Court in Surrey, United Kingdom worth $140,000,000
3. Updown Court in Surrey, United Kingdom worth $140,000,000
I don’t mind being neighbors with Elton John and the Queen of England over at Updown Court in Surrey.
Really.
Launched with a price of £70,000,000 (roughly $140,000,000) and still unsold as of May this year. This house contains 24 bedrooms, each with a marble en-suite bathroom, and an underground garage. Besides buying this lovely house, the homeowner must know the United Kingdom law and not to forget considering also the insurance of this house and be sure to have lots of money in your bank. Better just ask the Queen for some pointers.
2. Ira Rennert Mansion worth $180,000,000.

2. Ira Rennert Mansion worth $180,000,000.
The billionaire founder of the Renco Group, Ira Rennert, owns a place in Sagaponack, New York. A 63 acres of grounds, is considered by many to be the largest residential compound in the whole of America. The house has 29 bedrooms, 39 bathrooms, as well as the usual gigantic dining room, sport courts and bowling alley and contents insurance to cover it all. A cool house to have a party everyday.
1. The Villa La Leopolda in Nice, France worth $ 398,350,000
Now here's the most expensive house in our list. Formerly the home of Bill Gates, but now belonging to really rather rich Roman Abramovich, the Villa La Leopolda in Nice, France would set you back roughly £250,000,000 ($ 398,350,000 ). Its 10 acres of lush, garden-filled grounds requires an astounding 50 gardeners to look after it along with the best home insurance. Again with the house insurance and consider the maintenance too.
With such a big house, you also need big savings in your bank. Always consider the maintenance and insurance of your house, not to mention the security. So it pays to be wise folks, something you can certainly pay attention to besides house canvassing.
