Beverly Hills, California
Why buy a vineyard in Napa Valley when you can grow your own grapes right in the middle of Beverly Hills? That was real estate mogul Jeff Greene’s thinking when he bought his spectacular, 25-acre Palazzo di Amore—or Palace of Love—for $35 million in 2008 and spent many more millions renovating it and planting vines. In addition to the 35,000-square-feet main house with its 200-seat dining room, the Tuscan-style estate features a two-level, 15,000-square-feet entertainment ‘complex’ with bowling alley, 50-seat movie theater, a ballroom with DJ booth and revolving dance floor and parking for 150 cars. Greene first listed the estate in 2014 for a jaw-descending $195 million. After a year off the market, he re-listed in 2017 with a $66 million price cut.
