‘BEST OF THE BEST’
‘America’s best mega-mansion’ with helipad and cinema finally sells after owner knocks $156million off asking price
AMERICA'S best mega-mansion complete with helipad and cinema has finally sold - after its owner knocked $156 million off the asking price.
The palatial Los Angeles pad came with a $250m price tag when it went on the market in 2017 - and was known simply as "Billionaire".

Lavish trimmings include a crocodile skin-clad elevator, candy room and $1million camera sculpture - along with a $30million collection of luxury cars.
But after nearly three years on the market and multiple reductions, the Bel Air paradise has been sold for $94 million at a 62 per cent discount, the reports.
Handbag entrepreneur Bruce Makowsky created the multiple storey paradise from scratch after tearing down the previous home on the site.
“It’s the best of the best,” he told before it went on the market.
“This is a custom home built with the latest and greatest [features],” he said, adding that he wanted the buyer to think “I’m in heaven” when walking through.

The new owner - yet to be named - is all set to throw the swankiest of parties, with five bars, three kitchens, two wine cellars, and bowling alley all at their disposal.
There'll be no queuing for the toilets either - the 38,000 sq ft home boasts 21 bathrooms.
The owner should have enough cultural stimulation, too - with 125 art installations making its own mini gallery.
A gym, wellness centre, gaming area and an 85-foot-long infinity pool with adjacent movie screen may mean your guests will never want to leave.
Outside, there’s an 85-foot infinity pool, where a large movie screen rises up from an exquisite backdrop.
Makowsky bought the site in 2013 for about $11 million from former football player and current talk show personality Michael Strahan.
His creation may seem extraordinary, but to him it makes more sense than buying a super yacht.
“To me it doesn’t make sense that somebody spends $250 million on a boat where they spend eight weeks a year, but they’re living in a $30 or $40 million house,” he said.
