The biggest mansions in America

It’s something that we’ve all thought about at some point: If we had unlimited money, what sort of house would we build for ourselves, and where would we build it? For some people, that dream came true, and they ended up constructing huge houses that are opulent and ornate beyond our wildest dreams.

Driving down the street in a fancy neighborhood, you’ll encounter some truly jaw-dropping houses, owned by folks who make more money that most of us will ever see. These folks are wealthy, sure, but their wealth pales in comparison to the folks who built the largest mansions ever constructed in America. (This story originally appeared on The Active Times.)
