Larry Ellison
Malibu, California

This palace is a playground for mega-rich “Oracle” software CEO Larry Ellison. Ellison bought this house from music producer David Foster in 2005 for $20 million. The compound, which includes nine bedrooms, three recording studios, a guesthouse, pool, tennis court, and on-site spa, has its own funicular— a self-contained cable railway used to cart guests from the mansion on down to the pool. This impressive palace is only one of Ellison’s homes; the billionaire, who is listed as #4 on Forbes’ list of the richest people worldwide, owns more than 12 properties in Malibu, which have a reported total value of more than $180 million. He also has homes in Woodside, California and San Francisco.

Never content to do things under the radar, Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate encompasses 20 pristinely manicured acres in the mega-exclusive Palm Beach. The land is considered to be the most valuable piece of land in all of Florida. The mansion, built 1924-1927, was originally owned by Marjorie Merriweather Post, a leading American Socialite, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
