Oprah Winfrey's Montecito, California home comes in at number four at $101 million. Purchased in 2001, the 23,000-square-foot property sits on 66 acres of land. Montecito is a hot spot for luxury real estate, as evidenced by its repeated appearances on this list.
George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch takes the title of largest estate at number five. First purchased in 1978, the ranch has expanded to 317,000 square feet on 4,700 acres, more than four times the size of Gates' mansion.
George Clooney's mansion on Lake Como in Italy comes in at sixth place, tied with Skywalker Ranch for $100 million. Purchased in 2002 and featured in “Ocean's Twelve,” the estate is just a fraction of Clooney's total net worth of $500 million.
