Homes of Billionaires
By: Saban21 Created:6-20-2008 List Contest: June

 

If was worth $1 Billion, I would have a Batcave, a Star Wars wing, and a strict 36-24-36 regulation on the swimsuit model cleaning staff. But, let's see what these billionaires did with their homes.

Paul Allen

Net Worth: $18 Billion
Home: 10,000 sq ft on Lake Washington. It also includes an NBA regulation-sized gym. I wonder if his Trailblazers put on shows there for him (I'd personally be worried about them robbing me).

His mom also lives on the compound. That has to ruin his game.

Oprah Winfrey

Net Worth: $2.5 Billion
Home: The 23,000 sq ft home has 6 bedrooms and 14 baths. The property includes a quarter mile long driveway (would suck to get the news paper), and a man-made lake with rare fish.

Mark Cuban

Net Worth: $2.8 Billion
Home: 24,000 sq ft mansion in Dallas Texas. Though, I'm not sure where he's going to land his $41 Million private jet.

Warren Buffett

Net Worth: $62 Billion
Home: He lives in the same 6,000 sq ft, 5 bedroom stuccuo house that he purchased in 1957 for $31,500.

I guess $62 Billion doesn't buy what it used to.

Michael Dell

Net Worth: $16 Billion
Home: 33,000 sq ft on the hill tops of Austin Texas. It has 8 bedrooms, 8 baths, 13 half baths, restaurant quality kitchen, indoor and outdoor pool, and a 5-level terraced lawn. The property taxes run about a quarter of a million per year (so stop complaining). It is the most expensive house ever built in Texas looks more like an office building than anything else.

Larry Ellison

Net Worth: $25 Billion
Home: 8,000 sq ft, 7 bedrooms sits on a penisular between the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. He spent $65 million buying up 5 beach front properties to build it. It is Japanese inspired with samurai helmets and armor sculputres scattered throughout the house. Almost every room has a view of the koi pond.



Richard Branson

Net Worth: $7.9 Billion
Home: Well, it's really an island. 10 bedrooms, 10 baths and lots of celebrity guests.



Here's the tour from Richard:

Bill Gates

Net Worth: $58 Billion
Home: 66,000 sq ft compound includes a 60-ft swimming pool with an underwater music system. It has 2 "secret" bookcase doors and a 1,000 sq ft dining room. Speakers are hidden beneath the wallpaper and allows music to follow you as you walk through the house. Visitors are given a microchip upon entrance which sends signals throughout the house and a given room temperature would adjust for the user's preferences. Annual property tax is just over a million.

Re: Incorrect

What prices?? The networth numbers are all from wikipedia which have a more recent date/sources than the Forbes articles that I saw when doing research on this.
