Whenever someone asks me about the most outrageous dwelling I’ve ever seen, my mind goes immediately to the famous Billionaire mansion in Bel Air.

It has an outrageous price as well. Starting at $250 million, the Billionaire Mansion was reduced to $188 million, and is now listed at an even lower price of $150 million. Such a deal!

The latest price reduction is attributed to recent global market conditions.

“I’ve adjusted the price to what I believe is today’s market value for the home,” says luxury developer Bruce Makowsky.“Today’s billionaire and megawealthy home buyer just isn’t ready to spend $200 million on a home at this current place in time, so we’ve relisted it with a price tag that will open the door to a significantly larger audience.”

The plan to build a house with no comparables was always “to see what the market would bear,” according to Nest Seekers’ Shawn Elliott, who is co-listing the luxury estate with Branden Williams and Rayni Williamswith Hilton & Hyland.

If $150 million for a private residence still sounds steep, there are high net worth individuals who could easily cut a check for it.

“The megayacht business has never been stronger—with values over $200 million each, indicating this level of wealth does exist in the world,” says Makowsky.

But well-heeled buyers still need to be wooed. “Ultrawealthy buyers haven’t yet become accustomed to spending $200 million on a home—despite the amount of time they actually spend in it,” he says.

And buyers must know this spectacular spec home isn’t any run-of-the-mill mansion.

“The flawless attention to detail when you step inside 924 Bel Air Road is unmatched anywhere in the world,” says Makowsky.

The Billionaire Mansion boasts a helicopter and helipad,

350 art installations worth an estimated $10 million,

and an auto gallery stocked with a car collection worth more than $30 million.

Other over-the-top amenities include two stocked wine cellars, with rare vintages and bottles of Beyoncé and JAY Z‘s Ace of Spades Champagne.

Outside, there’s an 85-foot-long, glass-tiled infinity pool with a hydraulic pop-up movie screen on one side. There are a whopping 17,000 square feet of total outdoor deck space.

The interior of the Billionaire mansion measures 38,000 square feet, encompass two master suites, 10 guest suites, 21 bathrooms, three chef’s kitchens, five bars, a massage studio/wellness spa, fitness center, and four-lane bowling alley bordered by a candy wall.

A similar candy wall was a huge hit in the $70 million Beverly Hills mansion Makowsky designed and sold at the end of 2014. At the time, it was the most expensive house ever sold in the 90210 ZIP code.

Makowsky believes the mansion isn’t overpriced and is willing to deal with global economic gyrations. As proof, Williams and Williams represented a nine-figure sale last year—an 8,000-square-foot property in Malibu that sold for a record-setting $110 million.

“Los Angeles offers the best of everything, and buyers at this price point understand its importance in the global marketplace.” says Makowsky. “Prices have clearly been trending upward in recent years, and while I strongly believe we will reach these pricing levels soon, we’re just not quite there yet,”
