Hamptons Real Estate Blockbusters: Top 6 Hamptons Estates Over $45M

It was just a few years ago that Hamptons billionaire Ira Rennert made headlines when he constructed a $250M home complete with 29-bedrooms, 39-bathrooms, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, sports pavilion, and a power plant over 50-acres in Sagaponack. At 91-feet long his dining room would be an ideal setting for Thanksgiving dinner to say the least. Since then homes across the globe have hit the billion dollar mark, most notably the 27-story, 400,000 square foot residence of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani in Mumbia that reportedly has a staff of 600.

While you won’t need a billion dollars to pick up some of the Hamptons priciest pads on the market right now you will need to consider spending at least $45M for the ultimate in luxury a few hours east of New York city. Here are the six most expensive homes in the Hamptons.

Coming in at #6, $45M will buy you a traditional, 12-bedroom, 10-acre spread in Southampton on Ox Pasture Road complete with heated indoor pool (with waterslide), grass tennis court, a state-of-the-art kitchen, and home gym. Originally built in 1915 and meticulously renovated recently this Estate Section home is a mini-resort.
