Whether you’re still living with your parents, renting a flat that takes up the majority of your paycheck or enjoying the luxury of your own house, it doesn’t hurt (too much) to take a sneak peek at the most expensive houses in the world, owned by, of course, some of the world’s richest people.

Promised Land

Home to our favourite talk show host Oprah Winfrey, this mansion is located in Montecito, California.

The house is valued at $90 million and has a net worth of $3 billion.

Kensington Palace Gardens

The home boasts 12 bedrooms, an indoor pool and even a ballroom for those sneaky boogies. Home to the CEO of a steel magnate company, Lakshmi Mittal, the London mansion is referred to as the ‘Taj Mittal’. Its value is $90 million with a net worth of $12.3 billion.

Situated in London, this royal mansion is valued at $126 million with a net worth of $1.5 billion. This house includes a hi-tech panic room and an underground pool!

Blossom Estate

Neighboring Palm Beach, this $130 million mansion looks like a holiday villa at its prime.

Antilla

Home to the richest man in India, this skyscraper is actually a residential building. The apartment as 9 elevators, 3 helipads, 6 parking lots, a health spa, snow room and our favourite – an ice-cream room. His $1 billion complex has a net worth of $20.8 billion and is tended to by 600 staff. This one is a winner!
