40 Mega Mansions

From Mariah Carey's $125 Million Digs to Ultra Luxury Condos that Fly

— June 17, 2009 — Art & Design
Mega Mansion Obsession continues as stars like Mariah Carey fuel tabloids with rumors of $125 million house purchases, while other a-listers keep tongues wagging with news about their home foreclosures.

From Madonna's 13 bedroom townhouse in Manhattan to trinkets that celebrate living large, like mansion rings, swank dog houses and Mcmansion mailboxes, this cluster visually examines Mega Mansion Obsession.

*The lead image is of Mariah Carey's 15-bedroom California estate.

Implications - Luxury designs continue to once again be embraced as consumers feel less stressed with the progress the economy is making. There is an undeniable fascination with high-living -- especially living as luxe as Mariah Carey's $125 million house -- that consumers continue to be enthralled with. Companies that utilize unattainable, high-class living will play into consumer's fantasies.
