It is known that Bill Gates is not distinguished by excessive wastefulness and love of pathos. Usually the billionaire is relatively reserved in his acquisitions. In addition, he is involved in charity work. But when buying a house, the businessman decided not to skimp. This luxurious mansion in every respect is clearly built to impress those around.
According to experts, the house is worth approximately $ 150 million. It is so unique that it simply cannot but surprise. So, here are 11 frames from Bill Gates' mansion.
Aquarium with a piece of the sea
The owner of Microsoft is in a constant cycle of business ideas that are very exhausting. Therefore, he thought the aquarium would be a great piece of interior design to relax. Whales, sharks and dolphins swim in a huge glass niche, captivating the eyes of an ordinary man in the street.
Fireplace
It seems that everything in this room looks harmonious: a fireplace, faced with stone, and light-colored wooden furniture. This combination creates a feeling of comfort and warmth even on the wettest day. 
Glass room
The architect who developed the project of the building made sure that its owner always had a view of the lake. So, in the mansion there is a room, the outer walls of which are made of glass. The room is designed in a minimalist style. There is practically no furniture in it: only two armchairs and a small wooden table. Tiled floors and dimmed blue spotlights complete this picture. 
Spiral staircase leading to the second floor
It is impossible not to notice that literally every piece of Bill Gates' home interior screams about luxury. The graceful streamlined staircase deserves special attention. Its steps are made of wood and fixed with stainless steel bolts. Glass panels make the staircase even more delightful. 
Living room - for a pleasant stay
Contrary to popular belief, the home of the founder of Microsoft is not overflowing with electronic technology. It focuses more on unique design and comfort. For example, the living room is equipped with a leather sofa, coffee table and small TV. Perhaps this is all that is needed for an evening relaxation. 
Refined bathroom design
When decorating the interior of the mansion, the main emphasis was on the blue color and natural textures. It didn't go around the bathroom either. The subtle blue lighting and the lake landscape on the wall go well with the wood paneling and pebbles. 
Bedroom in white
The atmosphere of this room creates a feeling of lightness and weightlessness. The white fluffy carpet makes the whole bedroom seem to be lying on a cloud. As in the bathroom, there is a light blue hue. The bed is made in black and white. Well, the interior is completed by a small plasma TV. 
Crystal clear pool
The water in the pool is so transparent that everything is reflected in it, like in a mirror. Plus, you might think that this is just a perfectly polished floor. The pool is surrounded by spotlights and wooden decks. 
Main bathroom
All interior details of this room are completely exclusive, as they were developed specially for Bill Gates. And the first thing that immediately falls on the eye is the unusual washbasins. The mixers are designed in such a way that instead of standard taps, they contain metal plates with flat holes. The design is elegantly complemented by copper tiles, with which the walls are faced. 
Patio with lake view
There is a small open area on the top floor of the mansion. The flooring is equipped with blue lighting, so in the evening, sitting in a comfortable chair, you can watch it smoothly merge with the horizon line. 
Kitchen - nothing more
Everything here is also decorated in compliance with the rules of minimalism. 
The furniture is made of wood and metal, and the outer wall is completely glass, which only visually expands the space of the kitchen.

Palace of the Vasiliev brothers
The Vasiliev brothers were born in the village of Vyritsa, Leningrad Region. At first, they were engaged in video dealerships, then they drove cars from Europe for sale in Russia, and kept car markets.

Their native Vyritsa, where the brothers still live, despite the presence of real estate in St. Petersburg, the Vasilievs generously helped - for example, they restored the wooden church of the Kazan Mother of God, which is popular with tourists. It was in this village on the banks of the Oredezh River that the brothers decided to build their estate.

There is another very impressive mansion on the banks of the Sunzha River in Grozny. The official residence of the head of the Chechen Republic with an area of 260 thousand square meters. meters cost the budget, according to Novaya Gazeta, about 10 billion rubles ($ 310.8 million).

Nikolai Uskov, the head of the Snob project, after a meeting of the club of editors of the central media in Grozny, eloquently described what he saw: “On a huge square in the middle of ideal lawns resembling emerald waves of golf courses, there was a monumental palace in the Ottoman style, next to it was a copy of the sacred Kaaba, framed by minarets. […] A small farm is hiding among the picturesque hills and Chechen ancestral towers stretching to the left. With her, a bear cub lives in a cage, chickens and turkeys walk on the grass, roosters crow, a stream murmurs, falling into an artificial pond. "
Medvedev palace
In February 2011, an article was published in Novaya Gazeta, where it was assumed that a personal dacha was being built on the territory of the Bolshoi Utrish nature reserve (Krasnodar Territory) for the ex-president and current Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. The mansion in Bolshoy Utrish was supposed to be equipped with a marina and a helipad. Two wide roads leading to it were specially planned (according to the newspaper, these are the safety requirements of the Federal Guard Service). With its architecture, the project of "Medvedev's dacha" is similar to the so-called Putin's palace in Gelendzhik.
The land on which the palace is located has been leased since July 2008 by the forestry department of the Krasnodar Territory to the fund of regional non-commercial projects Dar for the construction of a sports and recreation complex there. For an area of 120 hectares, the fund will donate 15 million rubles every year for 49 years.
According to Novaya Gazeta, the management company of the Dar fund was located at the same address as the Fund for Social and Cultural Initiatives (FSKI) of the President's wife Svetlana Medvedeva, the companies had the same phone number, and the CEO of both organizations was at different times the same and the same person (Olga Travina). The presidential administration said it had nothing to do with construction.
Tkachev's dacha
In the Golubaya Bay near the village of Bzhid, the Dzhubgsky urban settlement of the Tuapse District of the Krasnodar Territory, there is an object that some consider the residence of the Governor of the Krasnodar Territory, Alexander Tkachev.
According to Rosreestr, some of these lands really belong to the governor. However, according to environmentalists, the area fenced in (about 7 hectares) significantly exceeds the area of land owned by Tkachev (1 hectare).
It was from the fence around the object that the scandal began to flare up. In February - March 2011, activists of the Environmental Watch in the North Caucasus carried out actions against the seizure of forest lands and the coastal strip, were detained by law enforcement officers and sentenced to various terms of administrative arrest (from 7 to 15 days). To the request of ecologists sent to the Forestry Department of the Krasnodar Territory, the answer came: there is no fence around this area.
Dacha of the Patriarch
In February 2011, on the Black Sea coast north of the village of Divnomorskoye (Krasnodar Territory), the same activists discovered what they said was illegal construction. At least 10 hectares of forest, where the Pitsunda pine grows, protected by law, is fenced off with a three-meter fence. On the territory, according to ecologists, there is “a strange, pretentious structure - either a mansion or a temple — this quadrangular building is crowned with a dome with a cross. An absolutely unimaginable hybrid of a palace and a temple. "
The Russian Orthodox Church confirmed that this object belongs to the Moscow Patriarchate, but noted that not the dacha of the patriarch, but a spiritual center is being built near Gelendzhik. On the territory of the spiritual center, a hall for meetings of the Holy Synod, premises for the stay of members of the Synod, administrative and management services of the Moscow Patriarchate, offices, conference rooms, premises for the press center, etc. were to be located. In the summer of 2012, the fence around the mysterious object grew significantly in height, became much longer and was equipped with night surveillance cameras and an alarm system. Later, Patriarch Kirill consecrated a church on the territory of the spiritual center and held a meeting of the Holy Synod there.
Putin's palace
On the Black Sea coast, near the village of Praskoveevka, Gelendzhik District, there is a "recreation complex" rumored to be owned by Putin.
Businessman Sergei Kolesnikov claims that although the project was envisaged as the private residence of Nikolai Shamalov, the construction of the palace was carried out by the Spetsstroy of Russia, and the Federal Security Service supervised it, guarded and gave all instructions. According to Kolesnikov, the complex occupied an area of "tens of thousands of square meters" and was equipped with "a casino, a winter theater, a summer amphitheater, a chapel, swimming pools, a sports complex, helipads, landscape parks, tea houses, premises for service personnel and other technical buildings. ".
In the spring of 2011, Shamalov's company Indokopas, along with the residence, was sold to a Cypriot company, the beneficiary of which is businessman Alexander Ponomarenko. Bloggers suggest that the palace is the private residence of Vladimir Putin. In particular, according to their statement, on August 6-7, 2011, three large yachts were seen in the residence area (one of them looked like Olympia, which, according to bloggers, is used by Putin) and two patrol ships. And a few days before that, law enforcement agencies cleared the nearest coast of tents and checked the passports of the citizens who were resting in them.
Subsequently, Vladimir Kozhin, the chief executive officer of the President of the Russian Federation, denied reports about the construction of a residence for Vladimir Putin.
