America’s most expensive home is a mind-blowing $500 million Bel-Air mansion from CNBC.
America is about to see a new #1 – the most expensive listing will be ready this year, and the asking price? $500 million.
From a private nightclub, to seven swimming pools and five elevators, luxury is an understatement when it comes to this estate. At 100,000 sf and a master suite boasting over 5,500 sf and its own private kitchen, pool and office, this property defines opulence, wealth and redefines Los Angeles living.
Infinity pools hang on the edge of the L.A. hills, providing uninterrupted and unparalleled panoramic city views. In this new age of mega, ultra-modern mansions nestled in the convergence of Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, and Holmby Hills, this appropriately named segment of the city, the Platinum Triangle, sees multiple homes listed for unprecedented prices. However, this estate, logically referred to as “The One,” developed by former movie producer, Nile Niami, is “one-of-a-kind.” The modern-day equivalent of Gilded Age properties are not built to be passed down through generations of families, but for in-the-moment entertainment, the here and now.
The Opus, another development from Mr. Niami, is a 21,000 square foot Beverly Hills estate, originally listed for $100 million. Filled with $12 million worth of luxury cars, including Rolls-Royces and Lamborghinis, combined with Damein Hirst paintings, this perfectly packaged example of Los Angeles opulence and grandeur is one of Mr. Niami’s prized accomplishments. From an infinity pool boasting 85 feet of sparking, clear water, to an iPad-run coffee maker that can make any cup of coffee imaginable, excessive luxury and specialized elements define this estate.
