Gates' home is built into a hillside on the edge of Lake
Washington, near Seattle. The 66,000-square-foot compound
includes a 60-foot swimming pool with an underwater music
system, a domed library with two "secret" bookcase doors and a
1,000-square-foot dining room.
At the rate Buffett is giving away his money, it won't be long
before net worth matches the value of his home. He still resides
in the 6,000-square-foot gray stucco home he bought in 1958 for
$31,500. In 2004, Buffett sold one of his two Laguna Beach,
Calif., properties, but still has one valued at about $4
million.
In 2004, Mittal paid $128 million for this townhouse in the posh
Kensington neighborhood known as Billionaires' Row. Mittal's
mansion, tucked between Kensington Palace and the Sultan of
Brunei's spread, has garage space for 20 cars and is embellished
with marble taken from the same quarry that supplied the Taj
Mahal. Mittal has another home in the city and is said to have
residences in Delhi, Indonesia and Trinidad.
The Oracle co-founder set jaws a-dropping in 2003 when he spent
$65 million on five beachfront properties in Malibu so he could
create a custom compound (a local real estate agent said Ellison
bought one house just for the pool). Then there's his
mega-estate in Woodside, pictured here, about 30 miles south of
San Francisco. Set on 23 acres, it's reminiscent of an imperial
Japanese palace.
Even though Allen's wealth exceeds the gross domestic product of
most small nations, he prefers to make his home just outside of
Seattle, where he grew up. The single mogul's mother also lives
on the compound, which includes a 10,000-square-foot mansion,
400 feet of Lake Washington waterfront and a National Basketball
Association regulation-sized gym (he owns the Portland
Trailblazers, after all). 
Dell's 33,000-square-foot mega-mansion is perched on a hilltop
in the college town where he founded his eponymous computer
company. Though he reportedly spent tens of millions of dollars
building the estate, in the late 1990s he wrangled with local
assessors over its value, which was finally pegged at $12
million.
