It’s unlikely Woods would have bought the 12 acres of land on which his 9,000 square foot home resides if it didn’t come with the beautiful and functional three-and-a-half-acre golf course. In addition to this, the property also has two boat docks, a 100 foot long swimming pool, and an outdoor tennis and basketball court.

Woods reportedly bought the home for around $45 million and invested another $15 million to get it into the condition it’s in today. Furthermore, some of the amenities on offer in this sporty house include a game room, wine cellar, media room, world-class gym, and strangely even an oxygen therapy room. 

10. Sting ($50 million)

It isn’t only mansions, estates, castles, and villas that are expensive, as can be seen with former Police singer Sting’s $50 million Manhattan duplex penthouse. Although this duplex has a hefty price tag, it’s visually stunning and equipped with many features and amenities that make it worth it. It’s uncertain why Sting decided to sell the custom-designed duplex, but he definitely turned a profit on his original $27 million investment.

The duplex, which spans two entire floors and encompasses 5,417 square feet, is situated on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Inside there are four spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms that are luxuriously furnished with everything a celebrity could possibly need. There is also a spacious lounge, chef’s kitchen, a sauna, and a library with built-in shelving. 

Moreover, each room has a sophisticated interior theme that is well executed with elegant fixtures such as a spiral staircase and a bespoke free-standing fireplace. Additionally, the house boasts spectacular floor-to-ceiling windows that allow for unobstructed views of Central Park. 

If you’re going to own a penthouse duplex in one of the most prestigious areas of Manhattan, you need to ensure it has an awe-inspiring terrace. This was likely Stings thinking as the outside of this home is almost more admirable than the inside. There is a 396 foot private terrace that affords spectacular views of New York City.
