Yes, you read the figure correctly America’s most expensive house is now up for sale with an asking price of $250 million. The property was designed and built by developer Bruce Makowsky and with an asking price of $250 million it is beyond the realms of luxury. Before we look at the house in more detail this property covers 38,000 ft.² and took more than 300 people over four years to build. This is not sky high luxury this is luxury on a different planet!
So what do you get for $250 million?
When you bear a mind the previous record price for a property in the USA was $147 million back in 2014 this is a significant jump to $250 million. Before we even begin to look at the property the price includes a helicopter and a staggering $30 million worth of rare automobiles.

Willy Wonka room

We have all seen the Willy Wonka film – now is your opportunity to live the dream.
Vintage cars
One level of the property contains a staggering $30 million worth of vintage cars which come as part of the $250 million asking price.

James Bond themed theatre

Not one but two wine cellars come with this property and we can safely assume that they are not filled up with cheap plonk from the supermarket.
