Oceanfront Opulence: Freshly Renovated $78.5M Palm Beach Mansion Is the Week's Most Expensive Home (2024)

A 10,623-square-foot, seaside estate in Palm Beach, FL, just hit the market for $78.5 million—nearly double what the sellers paid just two years ago. And it’s the week’s most expensive home on Realtor.com®.

Built in 2010, the seven-bedroom mansion on a palm tree-lined lot sold just two years ago for $44,880,000. Although no interior photos exist, the mansion is said to have recently completed a major renovation that made way for a wine-tasting room, home theater, massage room, and “club room.”

Other pricey properties this week include a contemporary California compound once owned by actor Leonardo DiCaprio, a two-story Sunny Isles penthouse, and a majestic mountaintop retreat in North Carolina.

Here’s a full look at this week’s 10 most expensive homes.
