A $195 million estate once owned by William Randolph Hearst is now tied for the title of America's most expensive home
The 55,000-square-foot estate is located in Beverly Hills and was designed by English architect Gordon Kaufmann.
The sprawling estate features an almost Olympic-sized pool and a second swimming pool, as well as a tennis court. You can enter the estate through one of four security gates. It's also just three blocks away from Sunset Boulevard.
Inside, the estate has 28 bedrooms and 38 bathrooms. Here, you'll see the intricate detailing of a two-story library with hand-carved paneling and a fireplace.
The billiards room is 32 feet long and opens up to a hallway that's 82 feet tall.
The estate is spacious enough that you can easily hold dinner parties for hundreds of people. The estate has had many cinematic appearances, including "The Godfather" and "The Bodyguard." If you remember the horse head scene in "The Godfather," know that it was filmed in one of the house's bedrooms.
John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy Onassis chose the estate as a honeymoon destination in 1953.
