Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos reportedly just bought a 13,000-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion featuring two guest houses, a tennis court, a swimming pool, and a nine-hole golf course for a casual $165 million, eclipsing the recently-set California real-estate record.
But the US has long been home to jaw-dropping real estate with equally jaw-dropping price tags.
