There are mansions, there are mega-mansions, and then \u2013 there are kingdoms like these. Take a look inside some of the world\u2019s most expensive houses that have been up for sale.<\/p>\n

2020 was a year that saw millions of us spend months on end staring at the ceiling of their own home, longing to be somewhere else.<\/p>\n

\n

For those times while some were confined to as little as a 5km radius, dreaming of times where travel was still an option, there is little worse than talk of the home space, or lack thereof.<\/p>\n

The COVID-19 pandemic forced us to get to know our interior abodes, so it goes without saying, that we all feel like we would wish for some extra space, or an extra room.<\/p>\n

From America to Fiji, to France and Hong Kong, these are 15 of most expensive homes in the world that are hit the market this year.<\/p>\n

And as if that wasn\u2019t enough to see this estate rack up the offers from interested buyers, it even served as the backdrop for Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s musical film Black Is King.<\/p>\n
