5. The Mezhyhirya House
Where: Ukraine
1935 is the year.
Price: $75–100 million
Up to the USSR’s disintegration in 1991, the Soviet leadership’s summer residence was the Mezhyhirya Residence in Ukraine. After that, Ukrainian leadership took possession of the property. Viktor Yanukovych, the prime minister at the time, ended up spending a lot of money renovating the estate when it became his home. Due to the millions of dollars that were spent on it, the interiors were awash in glamor and glamour, which caused the prime minister to face harsh criticism.

In the end, the prime minister was forced to leave Ukraine and seek refuge in Russia; his now-abandoned mansion remains magnificent to this day. It was declared in June 2022 that the house would formally become a state-protected park by the state.
