World's Most Expensive Home
So there goes the neighborhood: $155 million is the price tag. "Honey, do you suppose we could make those payments if we cut back on your Botox injections?"
Adjacent to Big Sky, Montana, (just a buffalo chip's throw from the Big Hole Valley) is the Yellowstone Club with its three million dollar entrance fee. Well, that's the net worth requirement for just raising your hand to inquire. And then comes those silly membership fees ($250,000) and of course the annual dues ($16,000). Bother.
Although the exclusive development has been plagued by hefty EPA fines and legal entanglements, nothing has discouraged real estate magnate Tim Blixseth from planting his dream double-wide in the mountains.
