30 pictures that take you inside the luxurious homes of the super rich

Their penthouses look like something from the future.

There's no need to travel to the real Arc de Triomphe when your patio looks like this.

 

If the infinity pool or Jacuzzi get boring, the Atlantic is just a few strides away.

 

Their staircases are covered in gold.

 

And so are their ceilings.

 

AND their faucets. Because why not rinse in style?

 

Their home libraries make hard work a little less hard.

 

And doing laundry is a little less annoying with a laundry room like this.

 

Their mega-mansions are pimped with multi-million-dollar home theaters.

 

And baller bowling alleys.

 

 

Their living rooms are casually outfitted with palm trees. And can you spot the grand piano?

 

Moats aren't just for ancient castles.

 

The super rich ACTUALLY sleep like kings.

 

Their courtyards look like this ...

 

And their basements like this.

 

 

You'll never have to BYOB to a dinner party with the super rich.

 

And there's no need to hit the town post-dinner with a home bar like this.

 

There are crystal chandeliers in the living rooms ...

 

And in the bathrooms.

 

An indoor rooftop pool is always nice.

 

Or an 'indoor-outdoor' pool. As soon as the weather starts looking ominous, press one button and a glass wall descends to separate the two sections.

 

They need spiral staircases to navigate their three-story mega closets.

 

The views are flawless.

 

Who needs vacation when you wake up to this?

 

Or this?

 

They also take living above the law literally. This building served as the NYPD's headquarters until 1973.

 

They can find their oasis even in the middle of New York City.

 

Central Park is their backyard.

 

Even their bathrooms are super posh.

 

And they definitely need all the space they can get. This home has nine bedrooms and nine-and-a-half baths that span over four floors.
