France’s Palace of Versailles has often been the model which many of the wealthy choose to copy when designing their own homes. We often see them on HGTV’s Million Dollar Rooms. Florida has its share of these mega-mansions including a 90,000-square-foot home under construction in Windermere that belongs to timeshare king David Siegel that is actually named “Versailles,” and Le Palais Royal on Hillsboro Beach which recently went back on the market at $159 million.
Massive abodes that run the gamut from Liberace, Michelangelo, and Alice in Wonderland. Many people consider these homes to be an absurd excess while others live the dream that they will someday live in one of these over-the-top homes.
