10 Most Expensive Houses in the World and Their Owners

Witness this luxurious villa, an estate that covers 50 acres. Variety magazine reports that the residence includes an outdoor kitchen, a helipad, a swimming pool and accompanying pool house, and “a commercial sized greenhouse.” There is also “a guest house larger than the mansions of most millionaires.”

The house itself is perhaps most famous for being one of the sets used in the 1955 Alfred Hitchcock feature film To Catch a Thief. Said to be worth $750 million, it is presently owned by Lily Safra. Safra is the widow of the Lebanese banker William Safra and a Brazilian philanthropist.
