43. Maison de L’Amitie – $95 Million
Palm Beach, Florida is another address synonymous with hyper-luxury. And golf. And retirees . . . but back to the luxury. Maison de L’Amitie– “Friendship House”, in ‘Murican—is one of the more famous luxury properties in the United States and definitely ranks among both the largest and most expensive.
The entire property consists of five buildings: the main house, two guest houses, a pool house, and a barn—any one of which we’d be happy to live in. The main house is cozy 62,000 square feet, and a description of the interior reads like a laundry list: 18 bedrooms, 22 bathrooms, a ballroom, a media room and an art gallery. We’re not sure what “media room” means—they wouldn’t let us in to look around—but we suspect that it’s something along the lines of “private movie theatre and performance space with state-of-the-art digital tech oozing from the walls”
Currently, Maison de L’Amitie is owned by a Russian billionaire—who bought it from Donald Trump. Sometimes the jokes write themselves.
