In fact, you need to be in the ultra high net worth bracket even to consider adding them to your new home shortlist. However, they are both on the books of top US realtor, Dustin Klath who will be one of my guests in my upcoming webinar, Living the American Dream and many of us like to have a sneaky peek into how the super-rich live so why not take a look around.
