Been to the Biltmore house before, they do tours there and for extra you can not only stay over but also get a tour of all the secret passages behind book cases and stuff
Mason Verger lived there until the Italian boars ate him up.
@Mason Marceaux “Private Eyes” with Don Knotts and Tim Conway, filmed at the Biltmore house FTW!
Did you see Anderson Cooper there?
really how much to stay
@@joshuabolton3866 not sure because it’s different for different times of the year. If just check online. My mom informed me that last time her and dad went the secret passage tour wasn’t open they were doing some kind of renovations so not sure if it’s still closed or opened back up cause they went last year
I visit Biltmore just about every autumn. They have fantastic events for the season, and the house is absolutely gorgeous.
Autumn and not fall ? What are you, a furriner?
j/k of course🥴
I live in Asheville NC home of Biltmore
I live about 3 hours away from Biltmore. There’s no way to fathom how big it is until you’ve been there. It’s the closest thing we have to a castle. Doesn’t hurt that it also includes 50k+ acres of mountain ranges and forests.
True, sad they didn't mention the beautiful sprawling gardens and village (but talked about a wicker wastebasket instead 😂). But the best time to go is during the holidays; the decor is just too pretty.
There’s Hearst Castle in CA. Been to both. They’re extremely different, but also similar.
@@NelleBear
I took my wife during they’re Downton Abbey event. Really neat seeing all the period costumes in the context of an estate.
@@tylerbuckner3750 Ah, I wanted to go see that exhibit, but didn't get a chance. I used to go every year for my birthday with a weekend trip to Asheville lol
Has to just be house not land it's tens of thousands of acres of land winery slot was gave as state park cause of taxes when it was all together it took 6 days to ride around it
I’m surprised that they didn’t mention how the Biltmore House was extremely advanced for the era of its construction by having an indoor swimming pool, bowling alley, etc..
The Biltmore is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful & worth a visit to anyone who is visiting the area.
I’ve been twice in school trips once in middle school & then again in high school. I live fairly close to Asheville, NC.
The Biltmore House was the second on talked about in the video.
There's no market for the super expensive houses here either. I live on long island, NY and in the Hamptons there's a bunch of houses in the 50-100+ million range and they sit on the market for ages never being sold. If you're gonna spend 100 million on a house, you're going to want to build it to your own personal taste.
But the people who can afford these houses don't look at them as investments. Just social status.
The Pensmore property is in the middle of Tornado Alley, so that's why it needs to withstand an A5.... the US has an invasive species problem for hogs, coyotes, etc in a few parts of the country.
It's in Missouri not Kansas, but yeah.
@@jordandale85 good catch. It being in the Kansas City paper must’ve made me misremember. (Obviously disregard that KC too is in Missouri )
Love living near here and seeing "the castle " when we drive by
Thanks for reposting guys, love the reaction.
I thought I watched it just the other day!
The Mumbai house looks like a kid stacked some books.
@@Peg__ knowledge is power haha
"Don't come over to my place, its very boaring"
Now do the crappiest houses in the world, and start with my neighbors.
I didn't realize we were neighbors
Can I borrow some sugar?
HAHA
"Wild exotic hogs" erm, I suppose technically the invasive pigs around here might be considered exotic? :P
They got the Biltmore wrong. One architect estimated it would be $2.5-3.0 billion to replicate it today. 2100 people took 3 years to make it.
I couldn’t live in a big home like that. I hate the idea of a house that’s so big someone could have snuck in and live in it without you even knowing. I live in a 3 bedroom with my parents home and I still check every room when I get home when they go out of town.
I live in Missouri and the 1 built to withstand an F5 tornado is important, look at Joplin Missouri's tornado that level the city. That house does have a tunnel system/wine cellars
Was gonna say that the tornado rating is no joke...although it’s probably less likely to get hit on a mountain top like that.
I like when the narrator says, "The French Riviera of France.".
That's where I would keep my French Riviera.
Been to the Biltmore several times - the grounds were designed by the same architect that designed Central Park. Also used to drive past that huge L.A mansion everyday. It’s massive in person. I wasn’t even sure it was a house when I first saw it.
19:53
Little Britain reference? That might be my favorite British comedy. My family's from Boston and we loved it. It was one of our favorite shows, still own it on DVD. It showcases British humor so well and I love all the different places and accents they do. I wonder if they could do it today lol...computer says no.
Little britain is great, could never happen now but its brilliant, i still prefer the other comedy they did called Come fly with me.
The Versailles house was originally intended for himself I think, but after the 2008 financial crisis, they halted construction. I guess it is up for sale now.
There is a great documentary on Netflix about that called "The Queen of Versailles". One of those right place, right time movies.
Why build a house to withstand earthquakes and an F5 tornado/hurricane? The New Madrid fault can cause huge damage. Hurricanes and tornadoes can turn straw into spears. So, check out some of the disaster videos to see what dear Mother Nature can do.
I think Daz was on to something.
It was the Russian magnate in the study with the novichok.
The last time I went the Biltmore House it cost me $60 to tour the place. Basically, they have the tourist pay for the up keep.
Oh yeah they do. In fairness, it is cheaper than the air fare to see the real palaces and chateaus in Europe.
@@johnalden5821 I love the place. I have been 6 times.
i visited The Biltmore House way back in 1985 when i was 7yrs old. They didn't mention The Bowling Alleys & indoors Olympic Swimming pools. He was MTV Cribs before MTV Cribs 😂😂
Apparently the Billionaire in Mumbai knocked down an orphanage and built nearish or above the slums that his country is starving in.
White man's angst!
"blasting her in the lambo" 😂
King Leopold builds a giant house
People of the Congo: Thanks to out blood, sweat nd tears. Literally. :(
That Japanese island land and house was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Wow I would love that. I could live happily there with just my family and die happy
It is Chinese
"Wild boar" is basically them saying "good luck growing anything here". Those things breed twice a year, litters of 4 to 6. You will be over run, and need to invite hunters in weekly for years make a dent in the numbers. You'll have to hunt them regularly the rest of your life, or release wolves or wild dogs to control the population. Wolves are a problem if you have deer though.
Says "We are counting down the 10 biggest houses in the world" but then starts at number 1 😂
That "$500 million" house in California initially listed for $250m (I have no idea where they got $500m from) and sold in 2019 for "only" $94m. Some other information and pictures in the video they watched seemed off/incorrect too.
I know this is late, but the creator of the video confused two different houses. He included a bit of video of both, but most of it was of the $250m house that sits in the hillside in Bel Air. THE ONE sits on top of a hill in Bel Air and was put on the market for $500m. Surprised more people in the comments didn't notice.
CNNs Anderson Cooper is a Vanderbilt, his mom was fashion designer Gloria Vanderbilt.
I've stayed over at the Biltmore, and let me just say, pictures do NO justice for how huge that place is. You really do get an appreciation for its size when you're right there up close and personal. But in that same breath, it's absolutely breathtaking in its construction and design, and looks over the Blue Ridge mountains. It's just so beautiful. If you have the means, I highly recommend staying there, if even for a few nights. It's worth it, trust me.
Most of these houses are empty, but everything is kept ready for owners everyday!
Pensmore is in my backyard and I can confirm that there are tunnels. The mansion was built as a test product for different materials that was used to build it
Missouri is in the middle of tornado alley and if you are going to build a house that expensive you want it to survive. It had a pretty big lawsuit a while back with the builders using cheap materials
Grew up in Asheville, not far from the Biltmore house. The family still own the property and make a small fortune in tour fees, food sales at the restaurant and snack shop on the property, gift shop, and not to mention the Biltmore brand wine. In turn, it employs a lot of people.
*_this has to be one of the most entertaining reactions they have done in 2021 so far. LOL_*
I live like an hour away from the Biltmore house and I can confirm it’s massive 😂
basically just North Carolina’s way less cool Versailles
I live in Kansas and I'll tell you the Missouri house has every reason to be worried about tornados. Missouri and Oklahoma are the most hit by tornados in the US
The Biltmore is like 10 minutes away from my house.
What would anyone do with 10 kitchens in one home?????
Whatever happened to moats? I need a good drawbridge and a moat.
Vanderbilt built his house faster than most modern equipment companies do today. Lol.
There’s a big house up the river from me that they’re always trying to sell, but nobody wants to pay 370k per year in property taxes.
11:10 that bedroom is in the Biltmore house in North Carolina, not England
That so-called 500 million dollar house was sold at an auction because the guy who had it built went bankrupt. The thing about these places is that if you can afford them, you just have your own built
love the Little Britain reference. lol
21:40 Wild Boar are all over the place in Arkansas. Its not just around that house, they're all over the state and surrounding states too.
im homeless, beach is my backyard ,sea is my swimming pool, and runway for jet take off .no big deal.
A lot of mansion owners in and around Hollywood rent their houses to studios to film movies/tv shows. Studios pay well.
Also, those big houses are used for entertaining huge parties.
George Washington Vanderbilt's great great grandnephew is CNNs Anderson Cooper.
"Exotic hogs" 😂😂😂
I've been to Biltmore in North Carolina several times. It is basically a French chateau in the Blue Ridge Mountains. During the Gilded Age, America's ultra-rich aspired to European classism and tried to buy their way into the nobility in Britain and elsewhere through marrying their daughters off to earls and dukes. This kind of building was meant to show that they were worthy and could, you know, be helpful in the financial department for land-poor nobility. BTW/ the number 1 on this list is about as appealing as a baboon's a$$. And the exotic hogs around that monstrosity in Missouri were probably just wild pigs that were already there. This is, after all, the freakin' Ozarks.
I’m pretty sure the first house shown that’s in Mumbai is in the Movie TENET but I might be wrong lol
This is funny. I was just looking at properties near me and I came over to TH-cam and this video is here waiting. I am not able to buy anything right now, but I like to look around now and then. These properties, in your video, are ridiculous in size and specially prices. I'm looking at 200 sq ft house with acreage and thinking they're to big for just me and my dog. These mansions you're seeing here could fit my whole family, including distant relatives, and I still wouldn't have to see them every day, or month for that matter. Good video. Thanks for sharing.
My family had a yearly pass to Biltmore and once was able to park right in front of the estate due to needing handicap parking-it was surreal
In certain places in America you can get a huge mansion for around 500k - 800k
Love the channel guys! You guys should check out Bill Burr the Helicopter story. It’s freakin hilarious especially the animated version
If I had the money to just blow I’d big a house like that Chinese house. Love that style of garden and the pools
THIN LIZZY ...COWBOY SONG...YA GOTTA!
They have lots of people coming to them for business and visits etc hence all the bedrooms.
That Hamptons mansion is in Sagaponack, not Sagapon-yack.
Biltmore’s right up the road from me!
I agree with Dave, 3-4 bedroom house would be nice. Something big enough, but not too big, where you don't use half the house.
Biltmore is about an Hour and a half from me. Its beautiful! And a great place to visit!
Never heard of Biltmore, but i live in Baltimore, so thats close enough.
You guys should put a link of your other two channels in the description. I’d love to check em out!
It's now a museum, so it didn't make this list, but I wonder if The Winchester House in San Jose, California would have made it back in the day. For those of you who are unfamiliar, it was worked on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for 34 years.

In all honesty, building a reinforced house in Oklahoma makes a lot of sense. Tornado alley after all.
Imagine what you could build for 180 million instead of buying.
The reason so many mansions are up for low prices is they arent modernised and many are listed so updating them is an headache.
When you have seven figures for a house would you prefer an ultra modern home ready to move into or a stately home that could cost another seven figures and years of arguments with planning/heritage to renovate?
It is quite sad having those giant houses. It’s quite a waste. I think a medium house with the things you like, not taking up a so much space but just perfect..... that Chinese one is the best in the list.
I agree with you Dave. Seeing these houses with 28 bedrooms or whatever. And then thinking that there are homeless people likely not far away is just sad.
I live in Bolivar, about 43-45 mi north of highlandville
That “new Versailles” is ugmo.
Even if I had that level of money I wouldn't spend that much on a house. A few thousand sq ft is more than enough for me. Just seems like a waste of money but I'm sure the things I would spend money on others would think it was a waste.
The Beverly Hills house sold for less than 100 million.
You guys should react to the video most luxurious prisons
On 84 commentaries, i read about 15 that says they live right next to Biltmore house.... Mmmmmm.
If you ever get the chance you should visit The Biltmore. It’s amazing inside and out...
If I won the lottery, I would just gut my current house and redo the interior. Maybe I would add a patio over the garage. I couldn't see having anything much bigger.
I Live In Asheville, Please Do Come And Spend Your Money Here And See Why Biltmore Was Chosen To Be Built Here!!!!!
To be clear, there are zero structures man has built, that can withstand an F5 tornado. That guy with the 12 foot balls is wrong. Even the great pyramid of Giza would fall to an F5.
The American Versailles guy had severe financial problems so he had to sell even before finishing. BTW I met his son, who was a douchebag
Love the channel guys keep it up. You should check out Bill Burr’s helicopter story. Even the animated video is freaking hilarious. Keep it up guys!
No one needs 20 bedrooms or 20 bathrooms. Give me 3 big bedroom's and a swimming pool and cinema i would be heaven.
Brazilian Bankers--- They also, have to worry about kidnappings, so that's why they have so much inside their homes. Being ultra rich has it's draw backs.
The Time Share Guy--- He's selling his place when it's fininshed because of the 2008 crash he ended up broke. His wife has been selling off the furnishings that they have stored in multipule warehouses to help pay bills.
In reality, a house is only worth what people are willing to pay for it. I can’t imagine anyone paying over a billion dollars for that Mumbai house.
Which is a better goal to reach for? Oligarch or Plutocrat?
I'd like to see you guys react to Accent Expert Gives a Tour of U.S. Accents - (Part One) | WIRED and then maybe part 2 as well.
They're great videos. The channel is WIRED.
You guys should watch the sopranos and make a series
#9 house ,,, the owner must be a gang member ? Sound like hes expecting an attacked by somebody haha...
$2 bn. Imagine how much that monstrosity in Mumbai would cost if it were in NYC.
(Half of those are in the USA, but none are mine. Waaaaaaah!)
There is no market for big homes in USA either. 50 cent been trying to sell his 50000 Sq ft house for 20 years
I need to check out that Premier League channel. With limited info I took one of those quizzes that tells you which club to support and I got Arsenal. I know you guys back Man U or City, can't remember but hopefully you wouldn't hate me for mixing it up with Arsenal lol
I don't know how people can live without a chines room
20 billion dollars..ya you would have people wanting to be around you lol :)
You guys should react to the malice at the palace
there;s a lot of tornados in Missouri
My house just missed the list
I find it interesting that many of the worlds richest people like Bill Gates or Warren Buffet are not on this list and would most likely never be. Warren Buffett still lives in the same home he bought in 1958. Also, there is a cool documentary called The Queen of Versailles about the Versailles house in Florida. It is full of family disfunction.
China has privacy laws?
Do the uber rich bowl alot???
