What is the most valuable home in the world?

Many have commented on the topic, but the reality is no one knows. That's because few of the most valuable trophy properties go on the market any given year, and even less actually sell. While we have a partial list of properties that have sold in recent years (according to public reports), and we have some estimates of building costs, and some tax assessment data, many of the trophy properties we can really only speculate about what how much they would sell for at any given time.

Can you compare a condominium in New York City to a massive palace in a world capital, or huge beachfront property in Malibu or Palm Beach? Can you compare massive single family homes to an island, or a ranch bigger than some countries? For fun, we can try, but it's just speculation. So here is my list of properties that can make a case for being among the most valuable trophy properties. All of these properties have a limited number of potential buyers, but let's start with the ones that have very limited prospects for changing hands (for various reasons).

  • Buckingham Palace is arguably worth 10 figures, but it's unlikely to ever be on the market in our lifetime.
  • The White House gets a new tenant every few years, but it takes a lot more than money to move in. Hearst Castle is 68K square feet on 123 acres, but I'd put in the honorable mention category because its tucked away in San Simeon, California.
  • Putin's Palace looks spectacular, but it's hard to say how many individuals could hope to move in some day.
  • Antilia is fascinating and may have cost a fortune, but hard to say how many of the world's richest want to live in Mumbai.
  • Chateau Du Champs De Bataille is another property that could be worth 10 figures (located in Normandie France as opposed to the properties below in the French Riviera - video)

  • The Wall Street Journal cites Rupert Murdoch's 2021 $200,000,000 purchase of Beaverhead Ranch in Montana which covers 340,000 acres.
  • Even larger and more expensive is Stan Kroenke's W.T. Waggoner Ranch in Texas, at over 520,000 acres (Video). There seems to be some debate about the 2016 purchase price with some citing $725,000,000, but WSJ suggests over $500,000,000.
