This is said softly, but, to judge, you.

So, the biggest houses in the world

In order not to hurt the reader's psyche too much, we'll come from the rear and start our review from the house that occupies the fifth position in the rating. This mansion, formerly owned by the media tycoon William Randolph Hearst, now owned by Leonardo Ross, is located in Los Angeles in Beverly Hills. Made in the Mediterranean style, the Hearst Palace covers an area of more than six and a half thousand square meters, has 29 bedrooms, 3 swimming pools, has its own disco and theater on its territory. It is famous for the fact that part of his honeymoon was held by John and Jacqueline Kennedy, and his interior can be seen in the scenes of the famous film "The Godfather". In general, if you see all the largest houses and still decide to purchase this mansion and become a neighbor of Victoria Beckham and Tom Cruise, then cook $ 165 million. Honorable fourth place is the estate called Fairfield Pond on the ocean in a prestigious resort in Log Island, owned by an American businessman Ira Rehnert. It is located on 63 acres of land and has a truly huge beach, equipped with five sports fields, a swimming pool and landscaped gardens, and the elite building in Greco-Roman style is equipped with 29 bedrooms and 39 bathrooms. The price of it quite clearly reflects the size and luxury of the estate - 170 million dollars.

Top Three

Bronze among the medalists in the top, representing the largest houses in the world, belongs to a luxury penthouse in an elite residential complex opposite Hyde Park in London. The price of such apartments is $ 200 million, they are considered the safest and equipped at the highest level. An iris scanner, bulletproof windows, special "panic" rooms where you can wait out the secret tunnel to the neighboring hotel Mandarin, whose services are unlikely to have to be used once, because the building is protected by SAS. To the services of the owners of local apartments is provided a permanent room service, all 24 hours a day. 506 million dollars - this is the price of Villa Leopold on the Cote d'Azur of France, rightfully occupying the second position. 511 million was ready to be paid for by Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, but the global financial crisis changed his plans, but the pledge of $ 60 million remained to the current owner Lily Safra, the widow of the former owner of the house of banker Edmond Safra. The mansion has an area of more than 7 thousand square meters, and amazes with the amount of antique antique furniture, has 19 bedrooms, many living rooms, dining rooms and kitchens, a bowling alley, a cinema, several swimming pools and guest houses. All this is surrounded by magnificent gardens, care for which are engaged 50 gardeners. You can see this chic villa in the comedy "Catch a Thief" by the legendary Alfred Hitchcock.

Finalist

And now dessert! The first place and gold in the rating under the title "The biggest houses in the world" with a huge margin belongs to the building of Mukesh Ambani, the richest Indian businessman leading the petrochemical corporation. His skyscraper, built in the heart of Mumbai, will impress even the most notorious skeptics. With a height of 173 meters, the building could well have a floor of 60, but since each of them has almost double height, the floors in it are only 27. Six of them occupy a parking lot, containing the entire collection of host machines, consisting of 168 cars. The whole area of the house is 37 thousand square meters, for clarity: these are the five football fields of the Moscow stadium "Luzhniki". The structure, built according to the special design of the Chicago Architectural Bureau, is accessible to the sunlight, has 9 elevators, three helipads, a cinema for 50 people, a SPA, a ballroom and winter gardens. Serving such a giant is entrusted to personnel, whose staff is 600 people. The cost of such a pleasure is 1 billion dollars. This house, eclipsed by all the largest houses in the world by its size and amount, which cost its construction, is likely to remain the number one for some time. Of course, if you do not plan an even larger project.
