Located in the famous neighborhood of Bel Air (if you watched Will Smith's A Crazy Man in a Piece, you may remember it) in Los Angeles, this gigantic mansion could easily function as a luxury hotel. The most expensive house in the United States is 38,000 square feet and houses three kitchens, 12 suites, 21 bathrooms, a 40-person movie theater, and five bars.
Called "Billionaire", the house developed by Bruce Makowsky also has an absurdly large game room with bowling lanes and mini-golf facilities, as well as a gigantic swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, a home spa, a spacious wine cellar, and a huge garage filled with luxury cars valued at $30 million.
And here's the good news: the whole place is for sale - there's an opportunity for anyone who can afford $800 million in cash to try and make a deal today. To convince you that this is a great deal, we have chosen some pictures from various rooms in this little house that has been humbly dubbed the "8th wonder of the world".
The definitions of "mansion" have been updated
When you think of a mansion, you probably think of a giant house, but it is unlikely that this "giant" is as big as the 38,000 square meters of this truly modern palace, not 21 bathrooms, 12 suites, a movie theater, a bar, a garage with luxury cars - unless we are talking about the mansion of rich people from the comics like Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark.
Looking from the outside, the front of the residence at 924 Bel Air Road looks like a luxury hotel or a collection of small mansions, but it's not: it's all one property, and whoever decides to buy it will only have the job of carrying their belongings inside, because Billionaire will be sold fully furnished.
Dream Terrace
Relaxing under the moonlight or soaking up the sun on a hot summer afternoon always sounds like a good idea. At Billionaire this is elevated to the extreme, because the terrace of the house is immense and has countless loungers and armchairs for you and your guests to relax in.

You can add to them the outside area of the house and also the various verandas, and you conclude that there is no lack of environments to rest and contemplate - or to extend even more the parties that start in the other rooms of the house.
Arrive by helicopter
When you buy a $800 million home you can probably find more interesting ways to get around the city than using land vehicles, so it is only fair that you have a helipad at your disposal on the main terrace of the mansion. Since it is in a place where there are no buildings around, getting there and out by helicopter won't be complicated at all.
Private car museum (and a huge garage)
A house with a car in the garage sounds like an award show, but here it is quite different. Billionaire comes with a huge private garage that looks like an automobile museum, because the space is equipped with countless old and new vehicles, sports and classics, valued at around US$30 million.
The party photos will look great on your private bar
The future owner of Billionaire will not be able to complain about a lack of space to receive friends, nor will a possible lack of what to do with guests be a cause for frustration. This is because this humble residence is full of places where many people can spend their time.
An example of this are the five bars spread throughout it, with lounges, counters, armchairs, sofas, and various environments where visitors can spread out.
Real Home Cinema
In this modern castle this is perfectly possible, because it has a 40-seat screening room, with leather reclining seats that look like the ones in a deluxe room in a large cinema chain.
The arcade you respect
If the business of your guests is to play traditional parlor games like pool, foosball, or table tennis, they will also enjoy this mansion. Besides simply providing entertainment for the inhabitants and visitors of the house, each table here is a piece of decoration in itself, made of glass and wood and featuring numerous details that further enhance the environment - not to mentionon that wall full of goodies.
If you are not a big fan of indoor games or just want a change, perhaps a game of bowling will do the trick.
Minigolf for outdoor fun
The miniature golf course is also located on a terrace, guaranteeing a breathtaking view while the owner and his visitors enjoy a round of golf.
Huge pools for more open-air fun
When the heat is about to become a nuisance, a nice swim in the pool can do the trick. And there is no lack of space here, because the pool is gigantic and creates a real water garden outside the residence. It also has a hydromassage section where you can spend highly relaxing moments.

It comes out of one of the rooms outside the residence and can be seen from basically anywhere outside. This means that you can enjoy a movie while relaxing in the water.
Gym and spa for your well-being
You won't have to leave your house to exercise. Besides the pool, Billionaire also has a large gym with state-of-the-art equipment. Everything is very beautiful and functional, offering an alternative for all kinds of workouts in one place.
To continue taking care of your body, the house also has a kind of private spa, with massage tables, chairs with sinks for the owner to take care of his hair, and much more. In short, the well-being of the inhabitants of the house will be more than guaranteed.
An amazing view to work from home
With an expansive view of much of Los Angeles, the home office is on the upper level of the property, another corner of luxury and tranquility. With a huge wooden desk, leather armchairs, and a comfortable chair, the place also functions as a kind of observation deck - there is even a pair of binoculars there to make life easier for those admiring the landscape.
The room is partially covered by a cozy carpet, and in the background the decoration is complemented by nothing less than two beautiful sport motorcycles. The front of the office is surrounded by glass walls that can be opened completely to give the room an even more special touch.
Dream kitchens
Not one, not two, but three kitchens are spread over Billionaire's 38,000 square meters, because so much space, with several different rooms and environments, justifies this unusual amount of space for food preparation.
All three receive beautiful white furniture with a very minimalist touch, which applies a special charm to the whole environment. And there are kitchens for all tastes: from a closed room, surrounded by doors, to an American style one, which integrates with one of the several dining rooms.
Several dining rooms
There are classic options with a huge table and several imposing chairs for those more important dinners, but there are also more relaxed spaces where the residents of the house and its visitors can enjoy their meals.
Luxury at bedtime
As it could not be otherwise, the 12 suites of this mansion are full of luxury. Spacious rooms with high standard furniture, some larger than others, almost all with modern fireplaces that will help to warm you up when it is cold outside.
Besides the comfort and luxury, another thing that is standard in all the rooms is the incredible view. All of them have large glass doors that allow you to admire the landscape at sunset. In short, receiving guests will not be a problem for the owners of Billionaire.
It will be difficult to run out of wine
Good hosts know how to treat their guests well, and almost nothing is more welcoming than sharing a good bottle of wine with someone visiting your home, right? To that end, this palace has a huge wine cellar stocked with some of the best labels in the world.
As if the number of bottles wasn't enough of an appeal in itself, they also work as decorative pieces on the wall. There are several shelves that bring together even other types of beverage, all so as not to leave the owners of the house without options for receiving a visitor.
Super Safe to protect everything
Another functional room that also works as a decoration item is the super safe that exists in the house. It has a transparent front wall, which allows you to see all the gears inside, but does not compromise the safety of the piece.
According to the creator of the house, only 3,000 people worldwide would be able to afford to buy it, which means that Billionaire is not called Billionaire for nothing, and is intended for a highly restricted audience, so it is not difficult to understand why it is nicknamed the "8th wonder of the world" - no doubt its sale will be a milestone in the real estate market.
