There are expensive homes for sale all over the world. What’s expensive to some might not be expensive to others. For example, a $35 million home in Los Angeles doesn’t seem like *that* much, but a $35 million home in rural Arkansas is going to seem like the Taj Mahal. Location, location, location. While the cost of a home versus its amenities and value is forever debatable, one thing is not debatable. A home for sale for more than $100 million is expensive. It doesn’t matter who you are, what you do or where you are from. Check out these ten homes that cost over $100 Million.

Pumpkin Key, The Florida Keys – $110 million
The house here is not technically a $100 million home. In fact, it’s not even remotely impressive. The modest home on Pumpkin Key is only three bedrooms. However, the owners own the home and the entire island, plus the 20-boat slip along the ocean. This price tag is not for luxury, it’s for privacy. It’s for the sheer excitement that comes along with being wealthy enough to own an entire island on which you can do whatever you want.
