全美最贵豪宅在洛杉矶2亿5000万美元

（单词翻译）

America’s most expensive home is for sale in Los Angeles, California for $250 million.

The new 12,000-square-meter home has 12 bedrooms and 21 bathrooms. The home also has three kitchens, a 25-meter swimming pool, a 40-seat movie theater, spa and bowling¹ alley². It has an elevator to take people up and down four floors.

The home sits on a hill in the Bel Air neighborhood, a favorite living area for movie stars and other famous people. It has great views of the city, mountains and ocean.

American developer Bruce Makowsky built the house. He said only about 3,000 people in the world have enough money to buy it.

But what makes this home different from the many other expensive ones in Los Angeles? It also comes furnished with many built-in luxuries⁴.

The buyer gets $30 million worth of expensive cars and motorcycles, including a Rolls-Royce, a Ferrari and a Bugatti.

The home also includes many furnishings and art pieces created by well-known designers and artists.

Included in the price are seven full-time⁵ workers who live in a separate part of the home.

Makowsky says people who visit the home quickly run out of words to describe it. “Every single thing in this house makes you feel like you’re in heaven,” he told the Associated Press.

He does not think the $250-million price is too high. He said the right person will be willing to pay for the luxury⁶ it provides, rather than just watching their billions of dollars sit in the bank.

“It’s the kind of thing where I can’t sell it," he said. "Somebody has to fall in love with it, and die over it.”

One of the most unusual parts of the home is a helicopter sitting on the roof. But the helicopter – an old model used on an American television show in the 1980s – is just for show. Even for $250 million, you cannot buy takeoff and landing⁷ rights.
