Three Luxury Homes That Made History In The Most Spectacular Ways



Without much ado, most things that are associated with wealthy people usually have an air of spectacle and elegance around them. This fact makes it increasingly important to inform you about luxury homes that made history in the most spectacular of ways.
The first on the list is the one and only Villa Leopolda in Villefranche-sur-Mer, an exquisite mansion that made a billionaire say goodbye to $75 million is deposits. History has it that the asking price of this property was $750 million, which is up to the combined annual income salary of a sizable percentage of the U.S population. However, Mikhail Prokhorov who had some extra cash lying around decided to make the property a part of his estate.
However, our Russian billionaire had to change his mind about purchasing the property because he considered it a bad economic decision. After all, who will not think twice about throwing $750 million around in the wake of a global credit crunch? The only downside was that he had failed to consider the fact that French law requires prospective buyers to lose their deposits if they change their mind after an agreement had been reached, and there goes a $75 million deposit.
The second amazing house on the list is the Acqua Liana inFlorida, the fact about this edifice is that it is as luxurious as any eco-friendly home can ever dream to be. Talking about a home being environmental friendly, you may need to consider the fact that has sufficient solar panels that will cover a standard basketball court. The result of such a massive number of solar panels is enough energy to power three regular houses.
Interestingly, the focus of the magnificent edifice is not only to show the importance of conserving energy; hence, you can be sure that it does not lack on the comfort side. You can trust the luxury homebuilders who executed the project to include a waterfall spa, and floating sun terraces ifFijiis your favorite spot in the world. A luxury home is never complete without proper arrangement for drinks so the presence of an arched aquarium wet bar is not off beat.
The last but definitely not the least on the list is the Barbie Malibu mansion. This 3,500 square-foot oceanfront property sitting right next to the Pacific Ocean Is styled after the extravagant home of the world famous doll. The building, which has everything that you can expect in a dollhouse and more is as pink as you, can get. For instance, it sports wall-to-wall pink carpeting that will have you walking on a house full of Barbie in the real sense of the word.
However, the most interesting pink element of this luxury home is not the 50 pairs of pink peep-toe heels that line the closet. The most interesting pink luxury is the pink brand new Volkswagen beetle sitting in the garage.
