The $125 million listing price ties Donald Trump's $125 million listing for a residence in Palm Beach, but is still lower than Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan's ranch in Aspen, Colo., listed for $135 million.

From the listing description:

"Rooms include a ballroom with ceiling frescoes, a library with a first-edition book collection, two kitchens and a screening room with seating for 50. A pool house has a full kitchen, a massage room and a gym. Also on the property: a three-bedroom manager's house, staff quarters for 10, a nine-car garage and a ¾-mile jogging track."
