5. The Mezhyhirya House
Location: Ukraine Year: 1935 Price: Estimated between $75–100 million The Mezhyhirya Residence, established in 1935, served as the summer residence for Soviet leadership until the USSR's disintegration in 1991. Following this period, the property came under the control of Ukrainian leadership. Notably, when Viktor Yanukovych became the prime minister, he invested heavily in renovating the estate, transforming it into his personal residence. The extensive renovations led to interiors that were lavishly adorned, filled with opulence and luxury. However, this extravagant spending drew significant criticism from the public, especially given the economic challenges faced by the country at the time. The stark contrast between the prime minister's lavish lifestyle and the needs of the citizens fueled discontent and scrutiny.
