For many people, the bigger the house, the better, but not everyone is lucky enough to live in a huge house. Usually only the richest people in the world can acquire those extremely huge houses. Through today's article, Xiaobian brought, the world's largest 7 mansions.
Palace of Versailles, USA
Nicknamed queen of Versailles, Jackie Siegel owns her own version of the Palace of Versailles in Paris. Jackie Siegel is an American model and actress and the wife of a very wealthy elderly man, David Siegel. David Siegel, a businessman who founded the Simon Resort, and now Jackie is building her own resort, and the design doesn't really hint too much at the Palace of Versailles in France. The $100 million, 7,897-square-meter building exudes all the grandeur of Parisian architecture, and although it's not as big as a French building, the Florida mansion still has enough space to accommodate all of Jackie's quirky ideas about Parisian paradise, once built. Jackie has been cutting back on this massive project since the early 2000s, but due to the recession, the global pandemic, and various other reasons, the project's expected completion date has been postponed to 2022.
The tower is said to have 14 bedrooms, 9 kitchens, 2 outdoor swimming pools, 3 indoor ballrooms, a wine cellar, an exotic fish aquarium and even a cinema in the style of a Parisian opera.
Queen's Underground Mansion
London is known for its underground public transport system, but few are aware of the growing trend in London's super-rich circle and its surrounding underground extended residential areas. The movement is known as the 'Iceberg Home' because its appearance is just the tip of the iceberg of london's basement trends. More than 4,000 homeowners have reportedly decided to increase the size of their homes through the interior of their homes. For example, Wittenhurst is a 1930s apartment in Highgate, north London. Ostensibly, it was already an infectious mansion, but back in 2010, the local council approved Wittenhurst's plans to expand its interior by 3,716 square meters through excavation. The Westanhurst expansion is currently underway and is planned to include a 21-metre swimming pool, a cinema massage room and sauna, a gym staff quarters and basement space for 25 cars. Once completed, Wittanhurst will be the uk's second largest property after Buckingham Palace, worth around £300 million or $401 million.
Beneath a large house in London's Dutch Park district, you'll also find financier Edmund Lazarus' personal leisure centre, measuring 1,486 square metres, with a swimming pool, hot tub, sauna and recreation room, and even a wine cellar. The £18 million property took around 50 weeks to complete.
Rich people don't just build basements. British real estate billionaire John Hunt plans to build an underground car carousel. His secret underground garage will include a five-story Ferris wheel that can display up to eight cars.
The One Mansion
Simply known as "The One", this huge estate is a shining pearl in its panhandle. This 9,754m2 mansion blends seamlessly with the mountain and offers incredible panoramic views, the mansion can accommodate 20 bedrooms, 30 bathrooms, 7 swimming pools, a library, a full-service beauty salon, a private art gallery, and a cigar lounge, but all of this is relatively bland, as there is also an ice bar and a jellyfish room, although they have also proved to be impractical and too expensive. But there are also some problems with the property. Developer Niro Nyami allegedly defaulted on a loan worth more than $100 million to fund the building, but the $500 million Los Angeles mansion was forced for foreclosure due to a lack of buyers, meaning the bank would sell the house at auction as a means of paying the developer's debt.
Biltmore Estate
Speaking of giant mansions in the United States, it is necessary to mention the Biltmore Estate. The Biltmore Estate in North Carolina is probably the largest American mansion out there, with an area of 16,258 square meters and 250 rooms. The regal resident also has 35 bedrooms, 43 bathrooms, 3 kitchens and 65 fireplaces. Not only that, but the 19th-century property also boasts a number of technological marvels such as electric elevators, forced air heating systems, clocks, fire alarms and call bell systems, and the property was built in 1888 for art collector George Washington Vanderbilty. For most of his adult life, living in the residence of a super-wealthy family, he decided to build his own mansion, which turned out to be the largest mansion in the United States with chandeliers and greenhouses.
Andilla
Andelia mansions are worth up to $2 billion. Located in the Indian state of Bengal, this residence is 152 meters high, has 27 floors and a total area of 37,161 square meters. It is slightly different from ordinary mansions, which were built with the highest quality building materials to withstand natural disasters such as the earthquake that ravaged Mumbai. While this is very impressive, there are quite a few surprising places about the building. For example, there's a temple, helipad, health spa, cinema, garage for 168 cars, and even an ice cream shop. Andrea thought about almost everything. If you can't stand the heat of the holiday, you can go to the igloo inside, which is like an icy sauna.
Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace is the residence of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. Buckingham Palace has been the official royal residence of the United Kingdom since Queen Victoria moved in in 1837, and it is located in the Westminster borough of London and claims to be the most expensive residence in the world. According to rough estimates, the palace is worth up to $4.9 billion and covers an area of 76,923 square meters. Inside the palace, you will find 775 rooms, of which 52 are royal rooms, 118 are staff bedrooms, 92 are offices, 78 are bathrooms and 19 are state rooms. The State Room is the essence of Buckingham Palace and is used to host the most popular royal guests, along with expensive artwork and top-notch decorations. Apparently, the palace was renovated to the highest standards, but curiously, major British newspapers reported that the royal family actually hated Buckingham Palace.
The palace is reportedly suffering from leaking roofs, fragments of its facades, and even rodent problems. Perhaps for these reasons, the Queen of England chose to live at Balmoral Castle in Balmoral, Scotland. It is said that she prefers the tranquility there to the hustle and bustle of London.
Nurul Iman Palace
The huge 1,788-room mansion is the 200,000-square-metre Nurul Iman Palace in Brunei, which also boasts a mosque, 257 bathrooms, 5 swimming pools, 110-capacity garages and air-conditioned stables that can accommodate up to 200 ponies, this huge palace and the buildings around it eclipse Buckingham Palace, but the value of $1.5 billion is less than half that of Buckingham Palace. But if we look at it in terms of size, the Nurul Iman Palace is undoubtedly the largest residence in the world.
