Dracula’s Castle, Romania - $135million.

  Built in the late 14th century this castle is a national monument and technically a museum thanks to Vlad the Impaler. However, this historical castle came on the market in 2009. This potential home would be more enticing due to its history and name, rather than the flash features it may possess. With 57 rooms in total, including 17 bedrooms filled with antiques and historical artefacts, this property is one for the quirkier billionaire. Only a few drawbacks may hinder; the 450,000 tourists that visit each year, as well as the fact that there is no central heating. However, is that all worth living in Dracula’s Castle? For people with this kind of money to spend that may be the case.

 

Luxury house: Malibu, CA

 

 Located at 22314 Pacific Coast Highway on the crown jewel of Malibu, Carbon Beach, this stunning beach property spans 151 feet of beach frontage.

 The luxury estate is composed of three pavilions. The architecture is a mix of Modernism and Classicism.

 As you enter the main house, you are greeted by a soaring 3 story rotunda with an elaborately detailed skylight. The heart of the living space is dominated by the expansive ocean view. A bank of French doors open to a signature covered outdoor veranda with columns reminiscent of a contemporary southern plantation.

 The screening pavilion is a barreled, vaulted structure covered with a copper roof and copper awnings. It serves as a family den when not being used for screenings and can be appreciated as a stand-alone piece of art.

 The third pavilion is the two story guest house. It consists of a generous living room, built in bar, lavish bedroom, bathroom and a gym room. There is an additional bedroom suite upstairs and sunning deck. The guest house opens to a covered veranda bordering the pool and is flanked by a gazebo for outdoor dining.
