Forbes 10 most Expensive Fictional Houses

From here

Quote:
In honor of our annual Forbes Fictional 15 ranking of the richest fictional characters, we sacked the collective imagination and identified the world's most expensive fictional homes. In the interest of sanity, we laid down a few ground-rules. First, all the properties had to be primarily residences (no schools, evil lairs or Death Stars) and we excluded castles (sorry Cinderella, Dracula). Then, in the interest of variety, we limited our selections to no more than one or two of a "type." Otherwise, the list would have been overwhelmed by English country estates of the sort where 19th century ladies are overcome by mannered young gentlemen with 10,000 pounds a year. Finally, we eliminated any selections that were deemed too obscure (goodbye, House of Leaves).
BTW, the Forbes list contains 20 houses, these are the 10 most expensive. Fell free to mention the other 10 (Southfork, Barbies Dream House.....)
