Bill Gates

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is the richest individual in America, with an estimated net worth of $82.2 billion. It should come as no surprise that one of the world's wealthiest individuals also owns an extremely lavish residence. Bill Gates' home, dubbed Xanadu 2.0, spans 66,000 square feet and has a collection of ancient manuscripts, one of which was penned by Leonardo Da Vinci and is worth $8 million in its own right. Xanadu 2.0 was built with half a million wood logs and would net Gates $145 million if sold today. Gates' Medina, Washington, residence, dubbed "Xanadu 2.0" after the fictitious home of Charles Foster Kane, the main character in "Citizen Kane," took seven years and $63 million to complete.

Only 7 bedrooms are available in this mansion. Bill Gates' residence has six kitchens and twenty-four bathrooms, ten of which have bathtubs. A reception hall with a 22-foot-long video screen on one side and a 6-foot-wide limestone fireplace on the other wall that can seat up to 200 people. The 60-foot-long pool was encased in a whole structure with a total floor size of 3,900 square feet. To get to the patio outdoors, there is a glass wall that one may swim beneath. Additionally, an underwater sound system allows you to swim while listening to your favorite music. The home of Bill Gates is green. It is earth-sheltered, which means that the temperature within remains consistent. Also, tall trees are planted all around the premises to safeguard the residence against heat loss.
