The Top 10 Biggest Houses in the World
Homes are certainly the most cherished possessions of a human being. Partly because they ensure a
decent existence, and partly because they are the primary means of displaying their inhabitants' social
standing. And status is of the utmost importance in our modern and overly competitive world. Especially
for some of today's high society men and women.
Although a decent sized house is more than enough for most people, for others, it's only massive gaudy
mansions that live up to their boundless standards. And you can guarantee that those dreams come
with more capital than they can count. Although, and here we have to be truthful, that doesn't mean
the houses we're going to think about aren't beautiful.
Welcome to Mind Read and today we bring you the top 10 list of the biggest houses around the world
today. Before we begin, make sure you subscribe to the channel and press the bell icon to get notified

10. Pensmore – Highlandville, Missouri – 72,215 square feet
While most people build huge houses to boost their social status or show off with their purchase power
and their extravagant tastes in terms of design and aesthetics, this one guy named Steven Huff decided
to build one for proving something else. Something a lot more different than most would expect.
Steven Huff is an astrophysicist and former CIA officer and his plan for the huge mansion is to prove that
a house can be, oh well… bullet, bomb, earthquake, fire, tornado, hurricane and pretty much everything
proof. To be honest, he is on a quest to make the ultimate spy home to probably stay safe from the
enemies he made during his time with the CIA.
The construction works began back in 2008, but the owner filed a lawsuit against one of the builders
claiming that he was cheated on the concrete provided for the project. The concrete supplier and the
owner settled the lawsuit with the former CIA man getting $63 million as settlement.
Not much is known about the dimensions or the exact design of the place but it is said that it reaches
five stories, contains 14 baths, 13 bedrooms, and has exterior walls 12 inches thick! No wonder it was
designed to survive earthquakes, tornadoes, and bomb blasts.
9. The One – Bel-Air, California – 74,000 square feet
Imagined and built by film producer and real estate developer Nile Niami, the 74,000 sq. ft. property in
Bel Air, California, nicknamed “The One”, will – when finished – be the most expensive house in
America. The price of this modern beauty rises to the astounding sum of $500 million.
Too much? Probably. Too large? Depends on who you’re asking. Too ostentatious? Well, the answer is
the same, it depends who you’re asking. But what’s certain is that the house will have almost all the
amenities you can think of, including – but not limiting to – a 5,000 sq. ft. master bedroom, an Imax-
style theater, four swimming pools, a garage for no less than 30 cars and an 8,500 sq. ft. night club.
With 20 bedrooms and 30 bathrooms and a specially designed jellyfish room, The One seems more like a
party house used for all kinds of events rather than a true home.
However, the house is still not finished and has been under construction for the last 7 years. Would you
be that patient with the construction of your dream house? Let us know in the comments below.
8. Villa Leopolda – The French Riviera – 80,000 square feet
Constructed between 1929 and 1931 by the American architect Ogden Codman Jr. and belonging to the
Brazilian billionaire Lily Safra until 2008 when she finally sold it to a Russian oligarch, Villa Leopolda is a
history book in itself. Situated in the French Riviera, it first belonged to King Leopold II of Belgium who
built it as a gift for his mistress Blanche Zélia Joséphine Delacroix.
The 80,000 sq. ft. property was even used as a military hospital during the arduous World War I.
Nowadays, the huge villa is thought to be among the most expensive European homes, appraised at
around a little more than $500 million. The property boasts two guest houses with a total of 11
bedrooms and 14 bathrooms,
