Imagine owning Le Palais Royal: a 60,500-square-foot Florida mansion that was modeled after France’s Palace of Versailles. Your home would feature 19 bedrooms—including a master suite with a heated plunge pool on the balcony—an 18-seat IMAX home theater, a 30-car subterranean garage, a wine cellar with a 3,000-bottle capacity, a 1,300-gallon built-in aquarium, more than $3 million in gold leaf casing, six waterfalls on the property—including one 25 feet tall—a $2 million marble staircase, and two guest houses measuring 3,000 square feet each. Well, now you actually can for the hefty price of $159 million.
