40. Yuri Milner’s Silicon Valley Mansion – $100 Million
Spoiler tag: this list is going to contain a lot of Russian billionaires. Say what you want about those guys, but they love excessively large homes and lavish, lavish living.
Silicon Valley may have a reputation as nerd central and The Place From Which Bad Windows Updates Come, but in reality, it’s also home to some of the most exclusive real estate in the country. And Los Altos Hills is one of the more upscale places even within the virtual enclave that is Silicon Valley with a median home price of a whopping $2,896,103. That’s nearly three million dollars for an average property. We’re fairly certain we can’t afford to even park our cars there.
But Yuri Milner sure as heck can. A Russian billionaire who made his fortune by investing in little companies like Facebook, Groupon, and Zynga, Yuri has enough in the bank to make a $100 million purchase. His Los Altos Hills estate has two dining rooms, dozens of bedrooms and bathrooms, two outdoor and one indoor swimming pools, and a garage large enough for a fleet of luxury cars.
