Far out Friday: A house price tag in the billions?

The world’s most expensive house for sale could well be one on the French Riviera, recently listed on the market for the first time in nearly a century.

The most expensive home for sale in the world has been placed on the market with a price tag that puts it in a league of its own. NZ$1.5 billion, according to a Fairfax article.  

Villa Les Cedres on the French Riviera in the south of France, has recently been put up for sale for the first time in almost a century. 

The residence is open to tour groups and the public eager to walk through its 35-acre garden, said to be one Europe’s finest and designed by the same man who designed the Eiffel Tower gardens. 

Also in the grounds is an Olympic-size swimming pool, a ballroom and stables with room enough for 30 horses.
 
Suzanne Marnier-Lapostolle currently lives in the 10-bedroom property which was built around 1830 and a former home of Belgium’s King Leopold II. 

According to Fortune.com, for the right buyer Campari CEO Bob Kunze-Concewitz said the company, which acquired the property in March, would consider offers upwards from $330 million.
