Ranking The Most LUXURIOUS Houses In the World!

The ponds are why I put that there

I feel like I would have so many more serious talks with people. Walking around by the ponds, like let's talk business

Today, we will be ranking our top five most over the top houses

So, Mikaela, what is your number five? My number five is actually rankers number one, the Versailles house. Mmm

So this is supposed to be the biggest house in the United States. It took 17 years to make, which is why I like it so much, actually

Does like one guy do it? I don't know. That's why I'm like, just the dedication at that point

It's like, I'd give up after a certain amount of years. Because it's 17 years in the making, they also have a 30-car garage in this house. Ooh

Which is interesting to me because I'm like, did you just kind of give up on part of the plans? Yeah

Because that's just big empty space, you know? I'm sure if they built the biggest house in the country, they have a ton of cars

If anything, that seems like not enough space for their cars. I don't know, I just thought it was, uh, just the story of that felt a little extravagant to me

I actually know of this house because there's a, uh, there's a documentary that came out in 2008 during the recession

Two tennis courts. 30 bathrooms. Full-size baseball field. Ten kitchens. Antique furniture

90,000 square feet. It's basically just talking about how, like, okay, everybody's losing their houses, and these two, like, very kind of, like, they're not a*****, but they're a little much

are like they're literally building the biggest house in the country while everybody else is like going broke

and it's like being like, this is America! This is the story I was like, that's ridiculous

I've only been able to really see this image that Ranker.com had and I had dockets and points because the front yard just looks a little silly to me

It does. I feel like they could have done a little bit better. I guess I wouldn't complain to live there. No

But I'd be like, can we fix the grass situation out front? What's your number five

So my number five was Ranker number two the Hurst Castle This was built by William Randolph Hearst the publishing magnate The reasons why I really like this one are one at one point had the largest zoo in the United States on the property

So that's really fun. I'm sure you're wondering, like, how big was this house to have the world's largest zoo

So this house was built on 250,000 acres. That's insane. That's the size of Hong Kong

Is that really? Yeah. Now, Hong Kong is smaller than you think. But it's Hong Kong

I'm not good with numbers, otherwise I guess I think I would put that on my list. No one's good with acres too

What is an acre? What is an acre? One acre is smaller than you think. 250,000? Holy

Crazy. Yeah, so that's my number five. What's your number four? My number four was Ranker's number four, the Kikuit Mansion

Honestly, just the head... Actually, really quick, I'm gonna stop you right there because my number four is also the Kikuit Mansion

I think it's like the third list in a row where we've had the same number four. Honestly, I was just sold six swimming pools in

It just looks really cool. I like their like the shrubbery on the actual building. I think that's fun

A lot of these houses on this list. I'll be honest with you kind of creepy. Yes

And this one's not not creepy, but of all the houses. It's like it's nice. It looks a little delightful

There's six women pools. It's a six-floor house. Is there a pool each floor

I would assume. I honestly put this before the pools. My the reason why I put this number four is just the six floors

That's like a Holiday Inn. It's a little hotel. Like a medium-sized town. That's your house. That's your house. Yeah. I think it's great

What's your number three? So my number three is Ranker's number three. The Vanderbilt Summer Cottage

Mmm, the Vanderbilts. You know, just the summer cottage. I was just in from the headline alone

This is some rich people stuff. The breaker rooms were sent from Europe

They were broken down in Europe and then sent over to the United States to be rebuilt

And that just rich people stuff It like instead of rebuilding a new thing they like break it down package it up send it over rebuild it here It sounds incredibly excessive but when you we already talked about all of these houses took like 27 years to build

I get them being like, how much more expensive is it to ship it and when will it be built

And it's like, if this saves you 20 years and you're a Vanderbilt, I get it

Also kind of cool to be like, oh yeah, this room has been to other places

What room has been another place? Those rooms. Did they not sell their old home

Are they not getting money from this old? Do they not need the money? They're the Vanderbilt

Because there's no way. They're the Vanderbilt. They always say like, oh, he married a Vanderbilt. That's what they say in We Gly Blonde

Oh, yeah. He says like, if I'm going to be a senator by the time I'm 30, I need to marry somebody serious

My brother's in the top three at Yale Law. And he just got engaged to a Vanderbilt for Christ's sake

OK, so my number three is Ranker's number 12. It is the Grey Towers Castle

Well, funny enough, that's the next one on my list, my number two. That's your number two? Yes

Was a big selling point to you the 50 gargoyles on the property

Absolutely, yes. It was probably my favorite accessory to this building, yes

At first, I was going to keep it off the list because I thought, I don't want any gargoyles

If there was one gargoyle, I'm out. Two, see ya. Three, I'm starting to think, actually, this is kind of cool

Having 50, I'm not scared of them anymore. I also like it. It just kind of reminds me of a Harry Potter castle

Yeah. And by the way, of all the things where it's like, oh yeah, it's kind of got like a 1700s French castle type theme

This is a castle. Yeah, this is what I like assume castles look like in my head

Okay, so my number two, Ranker's number 16. Monticello. Yes, that's right

The home of Thomas Jefferson. The what number president? Third. That house, you recognize that house from anywhere

It's on the nickels. That house is on the nickels. That is on the nickels Yes Monticello My other reason why this is my number two is a lot of stuff that wasn really in houses like very futuristic stuff like foldable doors

and dumbwaiters and stuff, were in the house. I would love to have a house where it's like

this is not coming out for 25 years. But the one thing that they did have that is still cool now

is they had disappearing beds, which is like, that's so baller. That's like the original futon

My number one is Riker's number five, the Ohega Castle. Well, let me stop you right there

because that is my number one. It's what we do. It's what we do! I'm pretty sure we have the same reasoning

What was your reasoning? It's just because it's the inspo for Great Gatsby. That's cool as hell

Actually, that's not my reasoning. So yeah, this house they think was the inspiration

for the Great Gatsby, which- Seems like it. It sure damn looks like it. But I also feel like that's something

that the realtor said to potential buyers. I mean, it's like I would tell somebody that

if my house like kind of looked like that. I guess that makes sense

But either way, I love the ponds and the fountains in the front yard

That's like a dream. Well, yeah, that's why I did it. One, this is by far the most beautiful picture of all the houses that they've shown

Easily. I think the house looks beautiful. I think that whole thing looks beautiful. The ponds are why I put that there

I would love in the future to have a situation like this. I feel like I would have so many more serious talks with people

Walking around by the ponds, like, can we talk? We just go for a walk. Let's talk business

You can't walk around the pond and not think about not be making big plans about the future

Yeah, like you're always thinking about you never think about the past. It's like god. That's that's the dream

That's just looks like a sturdy house. Yes, right well built That's like a nice dirty home like nine chimneys on that bad boy. Yeah, yeah, which means there's fireplaces, which is

We love a good fireplace Let's get toastier fire moment. Yeah Good list

Good list. Okay, guys, so there you have it. Those were our favorite over-the-top houses

Did we miss any of your favorites? See ya
