#1: Tyler Perry’s Atlanta Mansion
Tyler Perry has listed his 34,688-square-foot mansion in the prestigious Buckhead region of Atlanta for $25 million. The grand 17-acre estate rests on the banks of the Chattahoochee River and has played host to such well-respected guests as President Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey.
The main home is styled after the beautiful chateaus of France’s Province region, and includes seven spacious bedrooms, fourteen bathrooms, and a spectacular two-story library. Other impressive amenities include an infinity-edge swimming pool, a tennis court atop of a two-story parking garage, a fully equipped gym, spa, theater, hobby house, and underground ballroom with its own catering kitchen.

#2: Ed Niles’ Cube Home in Vail, Colorado

Nestled among trees on a quarter-acre of land, this sleek residence includes five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a great room, large fireplace, formal dining area, wet bar, steam shower, sauna, maid’s room, and a two-car garage.
