The United States' most expensive mansion goes on sale

A newly built mansion is expected to become the most-expensive ever sold in the United States, with a NZ$350 million price tag. 

Hundreds of workers spent four years building the Bel Air, California palace, which goes on sale this week.

The million-dollar palace was built by owner-developer Bruce Makowsky 'on spec', meaning it was designed and developed without a buyer lined up.

The asking price includes a full-time staff of seven - including a chef, chauffeur and masseuse - for two years. 

Mr Makowsky previously built and sold a home in Beverly Hills for NZ$98 million - the highest price to date in that city. It was sold to Minecraft creator and Mojang co-founder Markus Persson.
