Private equity firm, sure, but Marc Bell and Daniel Staton are the owners of Penthouse Magazine. There’s porn money in that house.
I was just gonna tell you some homes you may want to post about: 50 Cents Connecticut Mansion, Evander Holyfields Georgia Mansion, if you do international homes, try a post on the houses in Kensington Palace Gardens.
Look at Bay Colony Drive in Naples FL, there are 9 or so homes, and one must be as big as any that have been on here.
Hey bro,
My name is Adam, I am 20, and I live in Johannesburg, South Africa.
First of all, I have to congratulate you on the site. It is incredible. Keep it up.
Haven’t seen any homes from South Africa yet though. I suppose when most people, especially Americans oddly enough, hear the word “Africa” they automatically conjure images in their minds of: Jungles. The Lion King. Black people wearing loin cloths. And that sort of nonsense. In truth, many African countries are not that far off from those preconceived stereotypes, but not South Africa. South Africa is in fact home to some of the wealthiest people on earth, quite a few of the families are actually listed on the Forbes list of the world’s richest people. In recent years, a group of Black businessmen have also done rather well, all of whom are now US dollar multi-billoinaires (and in South Africa, we consider a billoin to be 1000 million, not just the measly 100 million which i believe is the classification in the USA). Consequently, as one would imagine, their homes are utterly ridiculous in the extreme.
drop me an e-mail and i’ll send u some pics if you’d like.
Keep well,
Adam

There is a HUGE house that keeps on going and going in Tarpon Springs, FL. It on on Buffalo Run so just type in “buffalo run tarpon springs” into google and go to the map to find it. It is the only house on the street and you can see on birds eye view how huge it is. definitely worth a post!
There’s a big house at the end of a long driveway off of Fox Hunt Rd in Barrington Hills, IL. Also, a cool house across the stream to the west of it that has a a tower off of it. And in the area, there is a cool house on Otis rd by Orchid Lake that is worth a look too
Hey man, love the site! You should do a post on the big house (15,000 to 20,000 sq ft) that is on a point at the end of Mantabay, or Manta Bay street in Merritt Island, FL.
Kenny, Florida’s west coast has some awesome mansions. Check them out.
Dietmar Hopps’ house (on VGT) and neighborhood. Mashie Ct, Brassie Bend, especially.
Celle Way and Treviso Way in the Club at Mediterra in Bonita Springs, FL.
Parts of a stretch of Gordon Drive on the coast of Naples: A home on Bay Rd at the very south end. A huge house at the north end by 21st avenue s. And some homes, mainly on points in the bay to the east.
Colony Drive (noy Bay Colony Drive) by North Naples and Vanderbilt Beach.
A colonial house on a big pond on Ridge Drive near East Ave just to the east of the second tip.
The end of Bellflower lane, and in the same neighborhood (Grey Oaks), Plumbago Lane, and Canna Way.
do Shaqs house in windermere, orlando, and in the same neighborhood(Islesworth) Vardon Dr. and the monster on Champions Pt. There are some stunning mansions in there, look around.
There are a couple homes worth looking at by SE Ranch Rd and SE Colony Way just north of Dye Preserve Golf Club and the Palm Beach County line in southern Martin County. the four biggest properties are within a mile of each other and all have lakes.
Oh and close by in Jupiter, 2 homes together at River Pointe Way. Use that list of Palm Beach County Homes, there are endless amazing properties. in all parts of the county.
There is an extremely unusual and large house on the shores of lake erie between beulah beach and heidelberg beach, ten or fifteen miles east of sandusky.
Also, in Indian Hill, OH, east of Cincinnati: just southeast of the house you posted about that belongs to Stanley Chesley and Susan Dlott, the trial lawyer and federadl judgeis another home that is about the same size. It is not completed in the arial views, but is mostly donein the birds eye.
Thanks for repping the Ohio mansions
nevermind about the second house in Indian Hill, you already got that, my bad.
Hey Kenny,
Love the site, always a fun read.
Found another Ohio mansion for you. Its off of Kitzmiller Road in New Albany, Ohio between Morse Road and Route 161, just west of the Golf Club. It belongs to Les Wexner, founder and CEO of the Limited Brands (Bath and Body Works, Victoria’s Secret, etc.). Great bird’s eye view of the property in Microsoft.
Keep up the good work!
Fremont, CA.
MC Hammer’s house. and nearby.
From about a mile south to up to about 2 miles north.
post all your houses that arent on already on VGT
Check out Eddie Murphy’s 45,000sqft mansion.

The Beverly Park neighborhood is home to perhaps the largest collection of mega-mansions in the world where homes regularly top the 30,000-40,000sqft mark and $20M-30M+
http://realestalker.blogspot.com/2009/03/big-beverly-park-sell-off.html

In Heathrow, FL Seminole County just north of Orlando, 2 houses at the end of Alatka Ct, and another in the same neighborhood (Alaqua Country Club) on Alaqua Dr.
just to the east, Sadleworth Drive has some big houses.
710 South Ocean Blvd, Palm Beach, Florida – Yes sir, it is one hell of a house, a big house for a little man. In fact, the current owner, Charles S. Robert, has expanded the house way beyond the original intent of its first owner, Elizabeth Kay, who designed it in 1924. She would be appalled by the ostentatiousness of the current renovations and additions to her house. It now overpowers its site and has that boring nouveau riche Jeff Smith look. What charm the house may have had before Roberts got his claws into it is gone along with Elizabeth’s spirit. It is a huge empty shell now, the perfect cave for an empty man.
Near Oakland, Goodison, Rochster area of Michigan, just north of Detroit:
Pond Vallee Drive.
The Area of Silver Bell and Brewster Rds.
Hey Kenny,
There is a three story red mega-mansion just north of Wernesville, PA near Heffner and Starr Rd. I hope you look for it and post it soon.
1207 Aquila Loop in
Celebration, FL is owned by Anthony and Robin Malatino, who appears to be an investor and developer from Saratoga, NY.
http://ira.property-appraiser.org/PropertySearch/Default.aspx
That says that the house is 19527 sq ft. and was built in 2007. It appears to be the largest home in the Disney developed community, Celebration. The home looks even bigger than that and has a really cool pool area. I hope you feature it sometime soon.
love the site kenny and i check it every day. Would love to be a follower but dont want a yahoo or google account. Ever think of posting some international homes?
Also looking forward to the new site, i'm sure it will be great.
at least one 20,000 ft and one or two 15,000 or so sq ft homes on River Garden Trail in Austin, TX. San Miguel Lane right next to it also has large beautiful homes
Check out Cornwell Farm Rd in Mclean, Va
also in Mclean, there is a huge compound at the end of Patowmach dr. If you bother to check it out, you I'm sure you will post on it!
there is also a big home at the end of Akhtamar drive.
check out these mansions in Potomac, MD. I don't think any are posted on your site yet, but they deserve to be.
2 huge mansions at each end of Natelli Woods Ln (no kidding). The one on the south end looks like it could be up to 7 stories!
Not incredibly big, but very cool looking, is a home at the south end of Brookstone C (2 roads to the west of Natelli Woods)
A gigantic classical style mansion at the end of River View Dr.
Also, how have you not posted Dan Snyder and his neighbors' insane houses? they are in Potomac on the river.
hey. i did a post on the large home on Natelli Woods and I also did a post on Dan Snyder's house. thanks for the info on the other homes!
16 star lane in magnolia point is probably well over 30,000 sq ft. The house behind it for sale on blossom court is 18,000 sq feet and is half the size. I spoke to the Realtor about 10 star lane and he said is was over 30,000 sq feet on three levels.
207 Woodhaven Lane Barrington Hills, is for sale and over 20,000 sq ft and on 22 acres.
There are many houses in the barrington hills and south barrington area over 20,000. They are currently building a new one off of brinker road that has to easily be 30,000 plus.
do you live in barrington hills yourself?
I live in the next town over. I love big houses and go browsing often.
Barrington Hills is generally old money and South Barrington new money. It is hard to see many of the houses in Barrington Hills because they have large lots minimum of 5 (many have 20+) acres and are hidden by landscaping and forest generally. South Barrington is more neighborhood like and houses are on 1-3 acres generally and you can see them. Old money likes to be private and new money likes to show off what they have lol
I went to check out the house you posted in Braymore, it is gated now and not viewable from the street, they build hills in the yard so it blocks the view.
hey, sorry about the misinfo about Dan Snyder and a few others. I looked, but there are too many big and beautiful homes over there to remember

Never realized how many comments where on this post. Having looked through the comments I’ve been to about 7 of the houses mentioned by people on here, crazy to think about.
Karma got him. He lost the house and has gone bankrupt. I don’t think he will be coming back to Palm Beach anytime soon.
