Billionaire’s Private Escapes

When it comes to our real-estate portfolio we all wish our’s was gigantic and comprised of all properties that stretch no less than a few acres, which had all the amenities one could ask and want for and we wouldn’t have to step out of our property again for anything. Only if that was the case, a man can dream, can’t he?

Since not all of us can afford the luxury of having such extravagant homes in our portfolio, we can at least look at the houses of some of the elite that happen to have all of those amenities in their homes and maybe get some ideas for our new homes that we might add to our portfolio in the years to come.

“If a man’s home is his castle, a private island is his kingdom” -Tanya Mohan summed it perfectly while describing what owning an Island would feel like. Even though what it’d feel like to own your own island is a feeling most people would never even come close to feeling in their entire life span there occur to be some really filthy rich folks in the world that enjoy their own private retreats.

An assortment of five restaurants and bars provides everything from barbeques on the beach to fine dining, with plenty of buildings emboldened by nature.

“The Mountain of Beverly Hills” is approvedly the most expensive piece of real estate in the whole wide world with a price tag of $1 billion. Yes ONE-BILLION DOLLARS. Yes a whole 10 numbered and 3 comma figure

This mind-boggling price tag is just for the semi-developed land, looking over the City of the Angels. There’s no Mansion sitting on top of this mountain over-looking all the peasant houses... Yet. So along with your hiking gear, you’d have to bring in your draughtsman as well.

This piece of semi-developed land stretches over 157 acres mind you that’s equal to 17 football fields. To put it into an easier perspective it’s more than double the size of Disneyland. Buy this place build a Disneyland on it and you’d still be left with enough space to build a gigantic house with all fountains, gardens and all the other elite people glory. DID we MENTION THE LAND COSTS A BILLION FREAKING DOLLARS? STILL CAN’T GET OVER THIS FACT !!.

Moving on(not really no, a billion dollars) “The Mountain” is said to be the most secure alight in the whole earth, with its enormous fortress-style apex of manicured grass, and gigantic 16-foot-tall, 30-foot-wide personalized security gate. Make this piece of property your new home just for a small sum of a billion dollars today. The nearest property is a kilometer away so this compound could even be paparazzi-proof.

Someone who wants to build their own compound would make a right fit for this piece of land. Buying “The Mountain” is optimal for someone who wants to make an opulence entrance into Los Angeles, given they have a billion dollars at their disposal.
