Most Expensive Real Estate Purchase In History

Heard on the “Today” show a Russian Billionaire breaks world record in the purchase of Villa Leopolda, a Belle Époque mansion in Villefrance on the Côte d’Azur. The purchase totaled €500 ($750 million).

Is this a dream come true, or a “show” of power & wealth? Hmmm, seeing that the buyer remained anonymous maybe it was genuinely a dream come true. My dream home would currently weigh in right around 2.5 million. I guess the more you’re exposed to larger horizons the bigger your goals are? One thing I do know, is I will not pay that much money for a home. Then again some people would never pay 2.5 million for one either. Which is why it all boils down to who you are, and what it is you truly want out of life.
