Leona Helmsley's $125 Million Weekend Home For Sale

What kind of coin does a (dead) person have to make to buy this $125 million estate? This 23,000 sf estate on 40 acres is also known as Dunnellen Hall. Of course Your Mama got hold of this news and describes the real estate billionare as the " 'Queen of Mean' who epitomized 1980s consumerist greed, but the lurid lipped and bug eyed bee-hawtcha sure knew how to choose, buy and hang on to a prime piece of real estate." So eloquent is Your Mama.

You think there's anyone in Dallas with this kind of cash? If you think of someone and know how to reach them, call me.

World's First Billion Dollar Home

No this is not a Las Vegas style resort. This is for one friggin' family. An earthquakingly wealthy family worth a paltry $22 billion according to Forbes. 570 feet tall, 27 stories, space for 168 cars and 600 full-time servants. The residence's name (of course it has to have it's own name!) is "Residence Antilia" named after a mythical island and was designed by Chicago architecture firm Perkins & Will.

Not one to be modest, the owner, Mukesh Ambani, bought his wife a $60 million dollar luxury jet for her 44th birthday. Wheels up, indeed.

$12 Million Spec Home in Highland Park Up For Grabs

4223 Bordeaux Ave. just hit the market for a cool $11.995 million. This is another high priced home built by Andrew Merrick and designed by Robbie Fusch. This home comes complete with a basement, 1,800 bottle walk in wine cellar and 6 car garage all spread out over roughly 14,000 sf on one of the most beautiful streets in Highland Park

There are currently 8 homes on the market in North Texas over $10 million dollars with 5 of those being in the Park Cities.

Well. What are you waiting for? Make an offer! I bet they would take $11,900,000 for it.

Another BIistering Asking Price in Highland Park

I guess I'm infatuated with ridiculously priced homes because I know I'll never be able to afford one. 4412 Lakeside Dr. just hit the market with a staggering $15 million price tag. What will that get you you're wondering? First, you'll have the privilege of living on one of my favorite streets in the country. You're facing Lakeside Park which is one of the most beautiful places you'll ever see on a Spring Day. You should see all the parents dragging their gussied up kids to this place come March and April not to mention the flurry wedding photos. Jerry Jones is within a stone's throw and Troy Aikman is a 5 minute jog away on Highland. But other than that the almost 10,000 square foot house was built in 1918 on a half acre and is was completely gutted from 2000 to 2003. The pictures look phenomenal and that wine room makes me wanna pop open a Pinot Noir just looking at it. And if $15 million is too steep for you why don't you scoot down the street and check out 4808 Lakeside Dr. Asking a paltry $10.9 million, this home has been lingering on the market almost 500 days after starting off at almost $12 million.

Kitchens That'll Make Your Mama Wanna Cook
