Top 10 Biggest Houses in World

Homes are unquestionably the most prized possessions of a human being. Partly because they have a pleasant way of life, and mainly because they are the primary means of displaying the social status of their occupants. And in our new, hyper-competitive world, status is everything. Particularly for some of today’s high society’s men and women.

Antilia

Antilia

Antilia, the residence of billionaire Mukesh Ambani, elicits both contempt and reverence. Regardless of the reactions, the 40-story structure built by Chicago-based Perkins and Will in partnership with Leighton Holdings is not only the largest residence, but also the second most costly, trailing only Buckingham Palace. The house can survive an earthquake of magnitude 8 and can house 168 vehicles.

This palace is both comfortable and historically significant. It was built by King Leopold II of Belgium, who later gave the estate to his mistress.  Villa Leopolda was built more than a century ago and is brimming with his as well as extravagance.

It is the city’s greatest residential estate and is located in the Morumbi neighbourhood, next door to the city’s second-largest home.

The One

The One

Nile Niami, a speculative developer, has been teasing “The One” — a 100,000-square-foot mega-mansion in Bel-Air — for years. The interiors of The One, a five-acre estate in the high class Los Angeles suburb of Bel Air, have remained a highly protected secret. The estate seems to float above the area, surrounded on three sides by a lake and a 400-foot-long jogging track. It took eight years to complete and 600 staff to construct. The main entrance of the house, with its 26-foot-high ceilings, leads to a variety of gathering areas with panoramic 360-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, downtown Los Angeles, and the San Gabriel Ranges. Water fills the entrance room, which also includes a carving and a bridge.

Taohuayuan

Taohuayuan

If a lake view isn’t enough, you’ll need to invest in a swimming pool and pond as well. The landscaping is inspired by Suzhou’s Classical Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These ancient gardens, which incorporate stones, water, and plants, are in the same city as Taohuayuan, a 72,441-square-foot mansion on Dushu Lake. The interior decor is a combination of modern and more traditional style, with 32 bathrooms and bedrooms, as well as a wine cellar. According to Mansion Global, when it went on sale in 2016, it was the most luxurious house in mainland China. Views of Suzhou’s skyline, the privacy of its island environment, and curved roofs and other typical architectural elements were included in the $154 million amount.

Pensmore

Pensmore

Most extravagant mansions are designed for beauty, but Steven Huff built Pensmore for science. It’s supposed to withstand rockets, earthquakes, and whatever else the Ozarks throw at it thanks to the concrete Huff made. The astrophysicist and former CIA officer intended to use the 13-bedroom, 14-bathroom fortress as a testing ground for energy-efficient and disaster-resistant construction technologies.

Two bowling alleys, squash quarts, an indoor basketball court, a theatre with 164 seats.and a $150,000 hot tub are among the facilities.
