Versace's mansion is pretty surreal. Kind of like the type of home you dream about – and then awake to find you've been billed at a rate of $32.99/hr for said dream. From the palatial courtyards to the 54-foot pool lined with 24-karat gold to the many hand-painted frescoes that adorn the walls, it's pretty crystal clear that gawking at pictures is about as close as you are I are ever going to get to this kind of real estate greatness.
But how does the greatness of this property compare to whatever else is on the market, you ask? Apparently its greatness is, well, pretty damn great. And by great I mean ridiculously expensive. Yes indeed, at a cool $125 million, Casas Casuarina is tied for first as the most expensive house currently on the market in the United States. Here is a breakdown of the top five, ranging in order of filthy richy-rich to filthy rich.
Casas Casuarina, Miami Beach, Fla.
Price: $125 Million
The Rundown: 10 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and over 23,400-square-feet of living space that has received the lavish decorator's touch both inside and out.
Uber-Luxe Feature: Pool lined with 24-karat gold that's worth more than my life.
Price: $125 Million
The Rundown: A Vaux-le-Vicomte-inspired estate of more than 45,000-square-feet built by David Saperstein for his then-wife, Suzanne. Twelve bedrooms, 15 bathrooms and luxury amenities like a formal ballroom, screening room, ¾-mile jogging track and much, much more.
Uber-Luxe Feature: What Versailles-styled mansion would be complete without a library filled with a rare collection of first-edition books.

Oh, and it's only accessible by boat.
