Jorge, a Homes of the Rich reader from Argentina, sent me floor plans of a 90,000 square foot “Super Mansion” he designed. He isn’t a professional architect, but he sure has talent. Way to go Jorge! They look great. I definitely never seen a home shaped like that before! What is your opinion on his designs?

Nalin here,

Kenny and I thought it would be a good idea to add a new feature to the site. I’m sure plenty of readers live in or own excellent homes. If any readers would like to showcase their own home on the site, Kenny will be adding a “Submit Your House” tab on top of the page. Send some pictures of your house and a description so readers can get a summary of the house. Be sure to highlight any unique features that make your house special (kind of like having your own MTV Cribs episode). Readers can submit anonymously if they wish to retain privacy. Submitted homes will be sorted and the best ones will be added to the site. If you would like to give the readers a tour of your house, E-mail pictures and the description to Kenny. We hope to see some nice homes soon!

The home, which is located at 1851 Turbeville Road in Hickory Creek, is owned by Shirley and Alan Goldfield. Champ d’Or was born out of five years of meticulous planning,construction, and craftsmanship using materials from all over the nation. The estate boasts a 36,000 square foot mansion, an adjacent one-and-a-half-acre lake, formal gardens, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a tennis court, a pool/tennis house and two matching guardhouses. The sprawling house features a dome with a ceiling height of 78 feet, elaborate 3-story entry foyer with grand staircase, 6 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, ballroom with mirrors patterned after Versailles, a garden room where windows descend electronically, veranda which seats 450 for dinner, a two-story Chanel-styled closet in the master, a 2-tier home theater, a bowling alley, and a racquetball court.

Included in the $69.9 million asking price is a 16,000 sq ft contemporary house that sits on 140 acres, 12,000 sq ft guest house that sits on 116 acres, a log cabin, horse facility, private lakes, pools, pool house, sunken tennis courts and gorgeous flower gardens.

Wow, this home sure has went through a roller coaster of asking prices! Built in 2002, the home first went on the market with an asking price of $48 million over 6 years ago. Then the price went to $35 million, then to $59.55 million, then to $72 million, then to $65.5 million, then to $27.5 million, and now to its current price of $69,900,000. That is a $42.4 Million price increase!! Why in the world would they do such a thing?

Here is a video I just discovered of the 45,000 square foot Fleur de Lys Estate when it was shown on HGTV. The owners commissioned architect Richard Robertson III to design them their very own “French Palace”. The home is filled with dozens of rare Louis XIV and Louis XV antiques. If you don’t already know, the home is owned by Suzanne Saperstein and is on the market for a whopping $125 Million. It is located in the Holmby Hills section of Los Angeles, CA. It was once the world’s most expensive home back in 2008.
