For most potential home buyers, finding a home that meets all of their requirements without breaking the bank is the most difficult part of the process. However, for the future owners of three of the most expensive real estate listings in the United States, the budget takes a backseat to decadence. 1. Palazzo di Amore - Beverly Hills, California Currently the most expensive listing in the United States, this West Coast mansion can be yours for a whopping $195 million. Advertised as a "modern castle" and located on 25 sprawling acres overlooking Los Angeles and the canyons, this home exemplifies wealth and luxury. Features include - 53,000+ square feet of living space - 12 bedrooms - 23 bathrooms - Twin marble staircases - 3,000-bottle wine cellar - 5,000-square-foot master suite - 128-foot pool and fountain - 15,000-square-foot entertainment complex - 27-car garage - 50-seat private screening room with bowling alley and game room 2. Le Palais Royal - Hillsboro Beach, Florida After having recently been ousted from its number one spot on the list of America's most expensive real estate by Palazzo di Amore, Le Palais Royal currently takes the second place spot with a $139 million listing price. Work on this beachfront home in the Miami metropolitan area began nine years ago, and it's still currently under construction. Once completed, this home will boast - 60,000 square feet of living space - 465 feet of ocean front - Nearly 500-foot dock that can accommodate an 185-foot yacht - 11 bedrooms - 17 bathrooms - 30+ car underground garage - First ever private IMAX theater - $2 million marble staircase 3. The Penthouse Collection - New York, New York In a city known for its exorbitant real estate prices, taking the top spot is quite the accomplishment. This three-penthouse trio, dubbed The Penthouse Collection, has done just that. The property replaced the Upper East Side townhouse currently being sold by the owner for $114 million as the number one most expensive listing on the New York City market at $118.5 million. It features three separate apartments on the 39th and 40th floors of the Ritz-Carlton in Battery Park City, a planned community in Manhattan. When combined into one duplex, they offer: - 15,000+ square feet of living space - 12+ bedrooms - 15+ bathrooms - 3+ kitchens - 20-foot ceilings - Four terraces (combined 2,200 square feet) - Wall-to-wall windows - Rooftop city views While actually owning these homes is unfathomable to most, their opulence fascinates potential buyers and distant viewers alike. Ultimately, what makes a home a home is relative to each person's lifestyle, taste, and expectations. Every buyer's standard of living varies, but if you're like most Americans, yours is far from the lavishness of these listings. Still, it's fun to look, and let's face it: once you're over the sticker shock of these properties, your real estate options might not seem so steep after all.
