由于今年上榜豪宅的价格如此之高，有些以前在榜上的豪宅险些掉下去，像位于得克萨斯州的“金矿”Champ DOr，价值4500万美元，仅能排在豪宅榜的末位。
今年新上榜的一座豪宅排名第二位。它位于曼哈顿第五大道的一座复式结构的高档公寓，占据了五星级的皮埃尔大饭店最上面的3层楼，从这间公寓可以360度俯瞰整个曼哈顿。这间公寓中有5个真正的壁炉，4个阳台，5间卧室，3个化妆间，6个卫生间，1个图书馆，1间接待室，还有私人电梯。它的沙龙被认为是私人所有的最大的沙龙，其中包括长23米，宽13米，高7米的舞厅。这座豪宅价值7000万美元。如果你首付1400万美元，以7%的利率获得30年期的抵押贷款，那么你的月供将是372569.4美元。
“美国最贵房产排行榜”的评选对象是公开出售的住宅。还有一些豪宅是私人所有，不公开出售，它们的价值可能更高，但是不在评选之列。上榜的这些豪宅到底是什么样呢？
1、这座豪宅总面积约2300平方米，旁边有3个大池塘，还包括一个由美国高尔夫协会认证的高尔夫球场，一个草地网球场和14个花园。它目前的主人是房地产大亨埃德华·高登的遗孀谢丽尔·高登。尽管要价高达7500万美元，但并没有吓走感兴趣的买主。
2、1996年，当澳大利亚报业大王沃维克·费尔法克斯的遗孀为这所复式公寓开价3500万美元的时候，曼哈顿只有屈指可数的几间公寓的成交价能够超过1000万美元。她最终成功地以3700万美元的天价将这所公寓出手。现在，这所公寓开价7000万美元。
3、这座位于贝佛利山的豪宅的所有者是已故亿万富翁马文·戴维斯，目前的市场价是5950万美元。这座豪宅占地约4顷，居住面积近2370平方米，拥有网球场、健身房、水疗浴室、室内、室外游泳池。
4、这间复式公寓位于川普国际大厦的顶层，总面积约2070平方米，层高约5米，价值5800万美元。川普国际大厦是世界上最高的住宅塔楼之一，和旁边的联合国大楼遥遥相望。从这间公寓还能看到自由女神像和美丽的海景。
5、这座4层豪宅内有保龄球馆、放映室、室内、室外游泳池、体育馆、水疗浴室和室外厨房，很适合大家庭的幸福生活。它以前由一位加利福尼亚房地产巨头所有，几个月前刚刚以5300万美元的开价上市。
6、罗伯特·泰勒农场的要价已经从3500万美元涨到了5000万美元。它坐落在桑塔莫尼卡山脚下，共包括约45顷的土地。
7、这座3层殖民地风格的建筑占地1.2顷，拥有网球场、露台、泳池和喷泉，还有酒窖和视听室。
8、好莱坞著名制片人皮特·古柏所拥有的塔拉种植园临近大海，占地约70顷，拥有海边小屋、瑜珈房和马棚。
9、这间复式公寓位于丽兹·卡尔顿酒店的33、34和35层，可以360度俯瞰中央公园，拥有约37平方米的阳台和玻璃中庭。
10、并列第10位的两座豪宅都要价4500万美元。Eothen拥有约183米的海岸线，周围有数百英亩的湿地保护区。杰奎琳·肯尼迪·奥纳西斯、伊丽莎白·泰勒等名人曾在这里度过美好时光。另一处豪宅位于得克萨斯州的达拉斯附近，它是一位移动通信巨头为自己建造的一处专供娱乐的场所，总面积约4460 平方米，内有茶室、花房、舞厅和小剧场。
Despite its high price tag, this property isn't even on the ocean. It does, however, have three very large ponds, a U.S.G.A.-rated golf course, a grass tennis court--thought to be the only one built on the south end of Long Island since the 1930s, a 25,000-square-foot main house, a guest cottage, a 3,000-bottle wine cellar, barns, pro shop, a traditional English cottage garden, a lily walk, a vegetable garden and hydrangea, rose and butterfly gardens. The listing agent is Susan Breitenbach of Allan M. Schneider and Associates.
Owned by Hollywood producer Peter Guber, this 650-acre ranch includes wildflower meadows, ponds, a 15,000-square-foot main home and guest and caretaker cabins totaling 8,000 square feet. According to listing agent Bob Ritchie, initially Guber planned to sell only the land, but because there was so much interest in the house, he decided to throw that in too. Assuming the buyer puts a $12 million down payment on the property and obtains a 30-year loan with 5.97% interest, the monthly payments would be roughly $301,000.
Returning for the third year, Eothen (Greek for "toward the East") was first bought by filmmaker Paul Morrissey and Andy Warhol in the 1970s for a reported $220,000. The price is attributed to its 600 feet of ocean frontage, the hundreds of acres of protected wetlands that surround the estate and the fact that over the years it has welcomed such celebrities as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor and Liza Minnelli. The property is represented by agents Jay Flagg of Prudential Douglas Elliman and Linda Stein of Douglas Elliman.
Yet another property that's made it onto our list for two consecutive years, Burnt Point hasn't seen the asking price drop one cent. Owned by commodities trader David Campbell, the land was bought for upwards of $10 million in 1996. Campbell's Georgica Pond mansion has 2,024 feet of direct water frontage, a private dock, an 18,000-square-foot house, a guest house, a tennis court with a viewing pavilion, a professional greenhouse, a waterfall and a boathouse and waterside pool. The property is listed with Sotheby's, Dunemere Real Estate and Allan M. Schneider & Associates.
Owned by health care magnate Abe Gosman, Maison de l'Amitié (House of Friendship) has 43,000 square feet of living space, 475 feet of ocean frontage and extravagant amenities, including a rose garden with 120 indigenous species and a freshwater pool and sculpture garden. According to a Palm Beach Post report, Gosman was also selling off parts of his art collection, including Fernando Botero sculptures of Adam and Eve (priced at $800,000). Baylie Rosenberg of Sotheby's International Realty represents the property.
