Antilia skyscraper in Mumbai

Bill Gates bought a house in Florida for $ 8.7 million. Despite the impressive amount, this is not the most expensive house of Gates, and even more so not the most expensive housing belonging to businessmen. Recently, conversations about expensive real estate objects that Russian officials and businessmen own (Slon have published a photo gallery of such estates) have not subside. They call huge amounts spent on construction, impressive technical characteristics, numerous pools, saunas, storage facilities for fur coats and other pleasant convenience. Can Russian officials and businessmen be called the most wasteful in terms of building their own residences? It turns out, not always. To evaluate how expensive and impressive there can be elite real estate, we have chosen mansions and penthouses included in the list of the most expensive houses in the world - with a cost of more than $ 100 million.
