Are you aware of which homes are the most expensive in America and where they are located? American homes that retail for more than $100 million are only accessible to a small percentage of the population. Yet, this doesn’t mean that most of us don’t want to feast our eyes on the uber-expensive homes and dream a little. 

The homes in America with the most expensive price tags are some of the most luxurious, prestigious, and chicly decorated in the world. Many of these houses are truly one of a kind which helps explain their astronomical price tags.

The most expensive home in America, this Californian beauty is referred to as “The One.” This spectacular mega-mansion is worth an estimated $350 million and is located in the luxurious suburb of Bel Air. Unlike other mansions, this modern masterpiece was designed by the talented architect Paul McClean while Kathryn Rotondi exacted the interior design. 

It was recently completed after eight years in development. Interestingly this home was almost double its price as the owner Niles Niami originally wanted a whopping $500 million for it.

The One is built on a five-acre plot that cost $28 million. Niami hired 600 laborers to construct the home, which has 360-degree unobstructed views of Downtown Los Angeles, the Pacific Ocean, and the magnificent San Gabriel Mountains.
