KICKING OFF #FridayNightZillow tonight:
A fantasy Hawaiian estate, and seven other $50+ million estates profiled by Bloomberg Businessweek.
In 2015, just 1 U.S. home sold for $50M+.
In 2020: *42*
bloomberg.com/news/features/…

I think if I was determined to spend $59.5 million on a house, this one would definitely be in the running. These mega-expensive homes sometimes have whole glass walls that move out of the way. #FridayNightZillow

Insane laundry rooms. #FridayNightZillow

Like having a Costco fridge complex...in your house. I've never seen a home with this insane a setup. But if you're paying $59.5M, I guess you should expect this. #FridayNightZillow.

It really is spectacular. And without the gaudy gold leaf in all those wannabe Versailles McMansions I see. Here's the Zillow link if you want to check it out for yourself: zillow.com/homedetails/9-… #FridayNightZillow

Up next, a San Francisco fantasy mansion in a fantasy location patterned after Le Petit Trianon - Marie Antoinette's house. $17.3M. 9BR, 9BA, 18.8K sf. Take a a look. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/38…

I still don't understand bedrooms this big. #FridayNightZillow

When your bathroom is bigger than a NY efficiency. #FridayNightZillow

This is your back yard. In San Francisco. #FridayNightZillow

I'm confused by this bathtub. #FridayNightZillow

The salon is just spectacular. Can you imagine the hoity-toity soirees that happen here? You could film an American Downton here. #FridayNightZillow

I actually really like the kitchens, bathrooms, French-style garden. #FridayNightZillow

Fixer-upper of the week: $80K gets you a 4BR, 2,600 sf house to redo in New Hampshire. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/36…

UP next: AFFORDABLE HAWAII.

$165K!!

It, uh, has issues, but...HAWAII!!! #FridayNightZillow
zillow.com/homedetails/94…

Where else can you get 25BRs & 28BAs for just $2.5M! Let's buy this historic Chautauqua inn steps from the lake. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/25…

Kind of a fun castle in Canada with some cray cray bedrooms. <$5.5M Canadian. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/38…

This is *a chandelier.* Something you've never seen before every #FridayNightZillow!

UP NEXT: STATEN ISLAND MANSION. Fair warning to prepare your retinas because OMG... #FridayNIghtZillow

Welcome to a Staten Island estate as they say, LIKE NO OTHER. 🔥🤯👁️MY EYES!!!! #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homes/257-Poil…

Staten Island Vibe. #FridayNightZillow

This bathroom is just ... a lot. #FridayNightZillow Those sinks. #SinkZillow That mirror.

Bedroom has a heart shaped bed frame. Because of course it does! I spy a Chihuly-style chandelier. #FridayNightZillow

Staten Island Bar. Those chairs look a teesny bit uncomfy? #FridayNightZillow

Next up: Cray Cray Florida. If you aren't awake yet — you will be. You will be. #FridayNightZillow

This waterfront Panama City Beach palace is just bonkers in the extreme. Named "Villa Chimera"? <$10M. It's a hoot! 5BR, 9BA, >9K sf. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/37…

I just started laughing when I saw this room. Is that wrong? #FridayNightZillow

Let's hear it for appropriate TV placement. This is how you do it folks. If they'd put it over this fireplace I might have had an aneurysm. #FridayNightZillow

Party shower of the week. #FridayNightZillow. It looks like there might be four separate stations in there? Don't ask me why. I've never actually seen a party shower except on Zillow.

Every gaudy megamansion needs a giant marble ballroom with gold trim, right? #FridayNightZillow

Nice porch. #FridayNightZillow

I like the kitchen. Sure the hood is humongous but that frankly fits with the house. You've got two ovens, two sinks — one massively oversized — lots of counter space. #FridayNightZillow

This is a sink. #SinkZillow

Pretty sweet grill setup. Not sure about the longevity of that wood paneling though? #FridayNightZillow

This is sort of confusing. A giant safe, lined with what looks like cedar? Maybe for your really expensive designer clothes? Anyone out there know what this is for? #FridayNightZillow

I've never seen a bedroom ceiling quite like this one. #FridayNightZillow

When you buy a $10M house, you get his and hers closets like these. #FridayNightZillow

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall... #FridayNightZillow

The...uh...old TV there on the bottom right kind of harshing my Palazzo vibe here.

They just stuck a sauna in the corner of what appears to be a thowaway extra room. Huh. Killer views. #FridayNightZillow

My favorite view in this house is ... this one. My eyes needed the break. #FridayNightZillow.

You can have this sweet, sweet library for just $87 million. Cut that Beverly Hills song. I think this is the first time 90210 has ever made it to #FridayNightZillow?
8 BD/14BA, 21,800 sf.
zillow.com/homedetails/14…

This is what I imagine a Beverly Hills megamansion estate to look like, in all of its insanity. #FridayNightZillow

I don't know who lives here but it seems sort of like where you'd expect Hollywood royalty to live. Or maybe actual royalty. #FridayNightZillow

These rooms are really jaw-dropping. And hopefully, for a brief moment, take you away from your troubles into some enchanted fantasy world. #FridayNightZillow

This bedroom has a TV over the fireplace but I'll allow it. The TV is so huge and so far away from the bed it's probably OK. But this is probably, what, 1200 square feet? You could get lost in here. #FridayNightZillow

The pool has dolphin fountains. I'd insist on them if I were paying $87M for a house. #FridayNightZillow

This view has a "lording it over us" vibe. I assume this wasn't a high-smog day? #FridayNightZillow

May post a few more houses - we have many many more in the queue but it is getting late. The Hawaii house was found by Bloomberg, but most of the other houses tonight came from my wife and sister-in-law. #FridayNightZillow

This, er, recliner seat in a $2.6M Oklahama mansion is confusing me. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/10…?

Bargain of the night? $250K get you this 4BR, 4K sf house north of Pittsburgh. With turret. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/17…

This Victorian in Indiana gave my wife a whiff of haunted vibes. But it's pretty cool. $750K. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/57…

Need cheap? This cute tiny house in Colorado is just $140K, but has a catch*

*Home does not have a Certificate of Occupancy #FridayNightZillow
zillow.com/homedetails/66…

Sofa of the Gods. In a Cockeysville, Md. mansion. This big house isn't my style but maybe it's yours. $1.35M. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/9-…

Warning, looking closely at this dining room might result in a detached retina. Monsey, NY. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/6-…

Another church conversion. The price is right: $349K. Wisconsin. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/W9…

Anyone else getting some Romanov-era Russian decor vibes in this Brooklyn house? Note the gold accents on the toilet and the green throne chairs, etc. $3.2M. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/27…

Somebody in Colorado has a ... different sense of taste and design. What say you? $8M #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/9-…?

Going to leave it there for this edition of #FridayNightZillow. Hope you enjoyed it! Looking for more? Maybe you missed this awesome Elementary School conversion into a megamansion in Pa. —
