Bill Gates' 66,000-square-foot compound is built into a hillside on the edge of Lake Washington, near Seattle. Its enviable amenities include: a 60-foot swimming pool with an underwater music system, a 2,500-square-foot gym and a 1,000-square-foot dining room, which seats 24. For a personal touch, out-of-shape visitors can skip the 84-step hike to the ground floor and opt for an elevator ride instead.

<!-- ParagraphTitleStart -->Bill Gate's House <!-- ParagraphTitleEnd -->

<!-- ParagraphBodyStart -->It is credited as the biggest in the US, but that just might be wrong. Bill and Melinda's Washington mansion sure is quite large, but other mansions that are currently "under construction" are looking to overtake the sq. footage trophy from long time holder Gates. Anyway, Bill's house is currently the largest in the US and just one of the biggest in the world. Bill Gates is a big wig for Microsoft and other companies. He has made a bunch, a BUNCH of money. So he decided to spend a chunk of it on a large homestead. Now, America gets to drool over its intensity! The house, excuse me, mansion has a current value of 147.5 million dollars and is over 66,000 square feet! That's around 1 and ½ acres. According to many sources, the house is a Pacific lodge style. Some amenities of the mansion include a massive swimming pool, staircases, 24 bathrooms, and six fireplaces. Some interesting things about this house include that the lights come on right when you walk in, you can tell the temp of the room from a microchip, and that the size of this house is 30 times larger than the average American home. The house is located in Medina, Washington overlooking Lake Washington.

<!-- ParagraphTitleStart -->Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdul Aziz's House <!-- ParagraphTitleEnd --><!-- ParagraphTitleEnd -->

<!-- ParagraphBodyStart -->Now holy crap, is that a name! His Royal Highness Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdul Aziz (geez!) put his home in Aspen, Colorado up for sale after he was appointed Secretary-General of the National Security Council by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah on October 16, 2005. He was the ambassador from Saudi Arabia to America, so hence the large American home on American soil. The mansion sits on 95 acres. The main part of the house, which is larger than the white house, includes an indoor swimming pool, stables, tennis court, outdoor water features, and a snowmelt driveway, which is awesome. It also has 16 bathrooms and 15 bedrooms, which is puny compared to Rennert's house! The asking price? Ah, just $135,000,000.
