World's Most Expensive Homes

I posted earlier about the Forbes 2008 billionaires list. Today we are going to look at the most expensive homes in the world. Why? Because everyone loves lists. Especially when it involves lots of money!

Can you imagine paying well over a $100 million for a home? I know I can't. The most expensive property? How about $165 million for a 75,000 sq/ft home in Beverly Hills. The US may be in a housing crisis, but there seems to be no such thing in the ultra high end of the market!

Be sure to check out the video tour of the worlds most expensive home, it is impressive. You can read all about your dream home at the Forbes website. There is a great picture gallery too.

Forbes Billionaires List

If you need a little motivation or encouragement (I don't know, maybe this will just discourage you), Forbes has their 2008 billionaires list out. Who is the top billionaire this year? Will Bill Gates remain at the top of the list for the 14th consecutive year? Where does the world's greatest investor, Warren Buffett,rank? This year's list has over 1000 billionaires for the first time ever.

It is interesting to see how they amassed their fortunes. One thing is for sure, whether they inherited it, made their money through investing, or owning varied businesses from steel to software, they are all filthy rich!
