    Location? Superb.

    House? Very, very bad. I'd actually be embarassed to invite people over and admit that this is an indictator of my taste- chest hair and gold chains are mandatory.

    Yep! They compliment the roman themed columns along the deck and are just the thing you need to complete a spanish-style home.

    I'm just suprised that there isn't any gold-leaf anywhere on the outside.. classy people can appreciate gold after all!

    It'd be a good place to hold orgies. I'd call it The Inn of Sin.

    Here you go. Pictures (except for those with the Ferraris in them) were taken from an article by Forbes called Billionaires' Homes. To see who owns them and where they are, just look at the file names.

    I know the house on the 3rd pic in London. I used to live near there and often went for a walk through that street. Houses there are quite amazing. (Many of them are used as embassy) Sultan of Brunei has a few houses there as well.

    A bit more detail on the house here.

    I saw it too when I stayed in London in 2003. It used to be owned by Bernie Eccelstone.

    Thanks for the link.

    Oh, I didn't know it used to be owned by Bernie. BTW, I think it used to be a pair of semi-detached house before the restoration. (I remember seeing 2 halves in completely different condition.) Probably one of the most expensive semis in Britain!

    Geffen's estate is very nice and not nearly as excessive as it might first appear. Given the massive sq/ft it's actually a very "homey" type atmosphere. One of the more respectable silly big places i've been.

    yeah having friends who are execs at dreamworks has it's perks.

    I cannot believe that there is a house this big with this much garden in the heart of London

    Yes, I know that house as well. It used to be a school, thus the garden is quite large. It's probably one of the most sort-after streets in the area. Houses in that area are beautiful. I have friends who live just less than a minute walk from that house, and their house is really really nice.

    That pretty much sent my impressiv-o-meter off the charts.

    Insane, for a London house ...

    Yeah. I'm hoping to move back to England when i "grow up" (i'm 18). I'd love to live in London, the Kensington/Knightsbridge area is so nice.
