A couple bought a $13.76 million mansion and gave it an overhaul inspired by fantasy films.
The house is decked out with nods to "Game of Thrones," "Harry Potter," and "Alice in Wonderland."

Beverly Hills' 90210 is known for big money and big houses, and Castle Rivani is no exception — even it doesn't exactly fit the ZIP code's mold.

Rivani and his wife, Krystal, purchased the home in December 2019 for $13.765 million, per property records.

The Rivanis were initially drawn to the property because it looked like a European castle.

The Rivanis commissioned a $50,000 replica of the spiky iron throne from HBO's "Game of Thrones."

The throne is the centerpiece of their Great Hall, which has 35-foot ceilings and a life-sized portrait of the Rivanis dressed in Medieval outfits and brandishing swords.

Most of the furniture in the house was custom designed for the couple.

The aptly named Jungle Room is Rivani's favorite room.

The castle is perfect for entertaining, and that's exactly what the Rivanis do — they love to dress up and throw costume parties.

The bar room is the Rivanis' take on an 1800s British bar. Inspired by "Harry Potter," they added an apothecary display cabinet filled with potion bottles.

The nearly 2,000-square-foot bedroom features a massive 250-year-old wooden headboard sourced from an Austrian castle, Rivani said.

The primary bedroom comes with a pair of en-suite bathrooms, each of which is connected to a walk-in closet.

Outside, the garden has been groomed into a checkerboard pattern. There's also a giant playable chess set, although neither of the homeowners knows how to play.

The couple is looking to rent out the castle out as they'll be relocating to Miami for business, Rivani said.
