When the mega-rich need a place to stay, “expensive” is just a figure of speech. Exclusive rental homes can cost as much as $600,000 per month – for real! This is the current eye-popping fee for a Beverly Hills mansion built by banking executive Milton Getz in the 1920s. This amazing estate has every amenity you can think of, from superb architectural details to cascading waterfalls, a library with hand carved woodwork, and state-of-the-art recreational facilities. It’s where John and Jacqueline Kennedy spent their honeymoon; and it’s one of the filming locations of “The Godfather” and “The Bodyguard.”
But if you’ve got half that much to spare, hop on a plane and enjoy the opulence of the French Riviera. For approximately $278,200 a month, you can have all the luxury in the world at your feet: gorgeous interiors and magical landscaping, an infinity pool, as well as stunning views of the Bay of Cannes.
