Big houses and the billionaires who love them
By Glenn Roberts Jr., Thursday, May 29, 2008.A billionaire's planned construction of "the world's most expensive home" has soured, Forbes.com reports. Tim Blixseth, owner of The Yellowstone Club near Big Sky, Mont., had plans to build a home valued at $155 million on a 160-acre lot. That undeveloped lot -- the "superhouse" was never built -- has sold for $10 million, Forbes reports.
Another super-rich guy, Donald Trump, has sold a home for $100 million in Palm Beach, Fla., after dropping the price down from $125 million, the Palm Beach Post reports. Trump reportedly paid $41.35 million for the six-acre oceanfront property in 2004.
