So the costs are well above the price to just buy it. Maintaining it could cost something like 20 percent of the total price...PER YEAR! So, to have a home like this, you need to have nearly double the amount in net worth. Because you dont want the cost of the house to drive you towards bankruptcy, for example. lets not forget that just to have one of these mega mansions, you need cash just to maintain it.

For example Charles Koch (worth 19 Billon dollars) has 160 acres in the middle of the nicest area in Wichita, KS, so that land alone would be probably 50 million or so...let alone his 3 houses on the property These are incredible single dwelling properties, but there so many other insanely expensive ones where the house is perhaps not as large as these but the land is worth tons.

Also a good decision given the events of the las 12 months. I hope the Hearst property if sold will remain open to the public - went there 12 years ago and would like to return. It does have something special even eccentric - I would never want to buy it to live in but it is without doubt very interesting. Considering the asing price 25 million is not a large price drop!

It is not for sale nor will it ever be for sale. But I am sure that it is worth quite a handsome amount.
