Less than a decade ago, a megaphone, designed by architect Paul McClean, began growing on a two-acre site in Los Angeles’ sought-after Bel Air neighborhood. From the start, it was presented as “the largest and also the most expensive family home in the world”.

No doubt, the megalomaniac project provoked a wave of hostility, especially from the owners of the surrounding houses, who considered the 10,000 square meter house too large to be called a “family” and demanded a reclassification into the commercial category. building.

The base was originally supposed to be completed in 2017, but due to various financial and technical issues (for example, the construction of an aquarium with jellyfish failed), construction took a long time and is not even fully completed now, according to the report. Daily Mail website.

In addition to the seven swimming pools, the house has its own bowling alley with four lanes, a cinema hall for 50 spectators, a bar, viewing platform with green terrace, smoking room and library, wine cellar with a capacity of 10,000 bottles and its own nightclub into the pool. There is also a health, beauty salon, and fitness center.

“This colossal home has 20 bedrooms, including seven staff bedrooms and three boarding rooms, and about six lifts,” CNN Business said. The mansion, designed by interior designer Kathryn Rotondi, also has several living rooms.

Future owners will find a bedroom measuring 372 square meters with an infinity pool on the terrace. The garage is spacious enough to park 50 cars. “Surrounded on three sides by a moat and 400 feet of hiking trails, it looks like the mansion is hovering over the city,” Architectural Digest praised the home in January.

According to current estimates, the house still has about $10 million (224 million crowns) of work to complete, which will take another year.

However, the owners are no longer planning on finalizing it, saying that it’s a detail that the future owners will want to arrange according to their idea to make him feel as comfortable as possible in his new home.

This house on Jalan Airole was built by Crestlloyd, a developer owned by former film producer and now developer Nile Niami.

However, during construction, the company went into debt and creditors are now demanding a refund. The owners value the chair at 325 million dollars (7.3 billion crowns), but in the past they tried to sell it for 500 million dollars (11.2 billion crowns). Without success.

Therefore Nil Niami filed for bankruptcy, which would not affect the house in question. He intends to put it up for sale again, this time at auction, for about $250 million (5.6 billion crowns).

But even if the house were to sell for 200 million (4.5 billion crowns), it would still be enough to cover all debts associated with it, as the total amount is 180 million dollars (4 billion crowns), the Los Angeles Times website writes. .
