If This California Mansion Sells For Its $500M Asking Price, It Would Become America's Most Expensive Home

By on February 12, 2020 in ArticlesCelebrity Homes

Real estate developer Nile Niami used to work as a movie producer, producing an array of low-budget genre films in the 90s and early 2000s. But then he switched over to the real estate/megamansion game, and he's now putting the finishing touches on a true blockbuster: it's called The One, and it will soon hit the market with an eye-widening asking price of $500 million.

If it sells at that price, it would be the most expensive home ever sold in America. And as Niami recently explained in a Bloomberg interview, he thinks it's worth every penny:

"When you have something that's as rare as the Mona Lisa, you can command whatever you want for it…When the house was started, I had no basis to ask $500 million—now there are so many triple-digit sales in L.A. and the world that the asking price is not unreasonable anymore."

That price has remained in place since it was first announced way back in 2015, and it reflects a property that's on the absolute cutting edge of luxury residential real estate. It's got four swimming pools, a bowling alley, and even a nightclub among its amenities, all built to spec without any specific buyer in mind. That doesn't seem to worry Niami though:

"I've had potential buyers a long time on this…We have a list of very real, verifiable buyers that we will bring in soon."

Niami also says that The One isn't just a nickname, that it represents a truly unique project that can never be replicated due to new regulations of megamansions imposed by the city of Los Angeles. And soon it will be fully unveiled to the world, as soon as the finishing touches on the home's interior décor are complete.
