The house should reflect the individuality of a person - and if we are talking about a rich and famous person, then this is simply necessary. FromOneMillion has prepared a review of the mansions where Russians live, who can afford a lot.
Alisher Usmanov, one of the top 10 richest people in Russia, owns a villa in Sardinia and an estate in the Moscow region, the Count Sheremetev's mansion in St. Petersburg and the London Beechwood mansion. The estimated cost of the latter is about $90 million. Previously, Beechwood belonged to the Qatari emir Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani. On the territory of the estate there is a guest cottage and a house for servants, and the area of the main building is more than 3000 sq.m. Eight luxurious bedrooms, two huge dining rooms and a chic reception hall are filled with the latest electronics and luxury furniture.
But the chairman of the board of directors of NLMK, Vladimir Lisin, chose the Scottish architectural monument of 1602 as his place of residence - the Comrie estate, built in the form of a citadel with corner towers. Meter walls of the castle, 13 bedrooms with bathrooms each, a billiard room, stables and 285 hectares of forest (with the possibility of hunting partridges and deer) turn the mansion into an incredibly pleasant place to live. Mr. Lisin bought the estate in 2005 for £6.8 million.
Viktor Vekselberg, the owner of the Renova Group of Companies, owns the famous Feltrinelli Villa, where Mussolini's residence was located during the Second World War. The villa is located near the Italian Verona, on the shores of Lake Garda. The villa, together with the furnishings (Venetian mirrors, marble baths, old engravings and books), cost Mr. Vekselberg 40 million euros. 
Experts estimate the chalet in Courchevel, owned by Mikhail Prokhorov, at $30 million. On the lower level of the five-story building there is a go-cart track, and from the windows you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Alps. 
Do not lag behind the oligarchs and Russian stars. Not so long ago, the construction of a house, or rather even a castle, was completed by Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin near the village of Gryaz. Mansion with 6 floors interior decoration cost Maxim about $15 million. The sports complex, observatory and servants' cottage that make up the infrastructure of this cozy nest are surrounded by a cast copper fence.
Philip Kirkorov, unlike his ex-wife, chose the warm ocean coast as a place for raising kids. A three-story mansion in Miami worth $12 million is conducive to relaxation and complete abandonment of worries. Swimming pool, cinema, 7 bedrooms with bathrooms, barbecue terrace and golf course allow you to comfortably receive, entertain and accommodate close friends for the night.
Three-storey house of the singer and composer Yuri Antonov in the suburban cottage village Gribovo resembles a merchant's mansion. Columns, balconies, a gazebo and a guest house seem to have come off the postcards of the late 19th - early 20th century. There are also separate cottages on the territory of the estate for many furry pets of the owner - several dozen dogs and cats. The price of the building is about 10 million dollars. 
Dima Bilan bought a house in New Riga for 1 million euros. Two-story mansion with an area of 400 square meters located in the depths of the forest, so that the singer regularly enjoys the chirping of birds and walks among the pines. Inside there is a recording studio, a swimming pool and a sauna.

All photos In the photo: Dining room with a second light in the VIP suite The houses of many Russian oligarchs, both in Rublyovka and abroad, are decorated in a harmonious creamy-golden color scheme, which became a hit in 2018-2019. Its attractiveness is explained very simply: delicate cream, beige and sand tones create coziness and an unusually comfortable atmosphere in the interior, and gold makes the atmosphere luxurious, but not too pretentious.
Layout of houses of millionaires: photo inside
Exclusive design implies original planning solution, because the layout, like the color scheme, should emphasize the status of the owners of the property. And the larger the area of \u200b\u200bthe house, the more effective the result will be.
9. Living room with a second light
All photos In the photo: Living room with a second light in a villa in Miami The living room with a second light in a villa in Miami resembles a main hall for ceremonial receptions. High panels of gold-tinted mirrors and rectangular modules upholstered in natural chocolate-colored leather emphasize the height of the room. Golden decor and lamps create a festive atmosphere. A smart marble floor with a geometric pattern in the colors of the interior ties all the design elements together.
10. Architectural zoning
All photos In the photo: Dining room country house in KP "Renaissance Park" For zoning the first floor of a country house in Renaissance Park, the designers used columns, dropped ceilings with stained glass inserts, steps, stair railings. This made it possible to streamline the space, while maintaining a sense of spaciousness and without overloading the interior. Light colors made the atmosphere airy, and the built-in lighting visually lightened the architectural elements.
11. Palace stairs in a new reading
All photos In the photo: Hall with an exclusive staircase of the house in the Agalarov Estate residence The stylistic center and the main decoration of the interior of the hall of a private house in the Agalarov Estate residence is a stunning staircase with two elegantly curved symmetrical wings, the gap between which opens the passage to the living room on the ground floor. By design, it resembles palace stairs with wide winder steps that create a spectacular perspective, and therefore looks very solemn.
12. Balustrade of the second floor with a gilded railing
All photos In the photo: Balustrade of the second floor in a villa in Miami in art deco style A balustrade with an ornate gilded art deco railing is one of the most beautiful design elements of a living room with a second light. It can be both functional and decorative: with elegant balconies and lighting. There you can equip a place to relax with a couple of armchairs or a banquette, or you can equip a small music corner with a white piano.
13. Classical symmetry
All photos In the photo: Living room of a country house in the art deco style in Renaissance Park For a spacious living room with a second light in an elite cottage best solution will be a symmetrical layout in a classic style. It is implemented through the use of paired elements - columns, panels, showcases, coffee tables, lamps - and allows you to profitably "submit" the interior. And in the center of the room should be placed a sofa group and a large chandelier.
14. Stepped podium
All photos In the photo: Living room on the ground floor of a villa in Spain Villa on a cliff in Spain, which I worked on, has a specific layout - the entrance to the house is located above the level of the living room on the ground floor. The problem was solved by the original stepped podium with lighting and columns, which turned the living room into a front hall.
Photos of exclusive decor in the interiors of the oligarchs
It is impossible to imagine the houses of oligarchs in Russia without a unique author's decor. Exclusive panels, designer chandeliers or stained-glass windows, which exist in a single copy, often become the hallmark of a particular mansion and "work" on the image of the owner, emphasizing his taste and personality.
15. Large-scale onyx veneer panel
All photos In the photo: Staircase in the VIP class penthouse with an exclusive design panel A large-scale panel made of expensive stone veneer and tinted mirrors framed by brass moldings is a decor for VIP real estate. It occupies two floors and is the main decoration of the staircase hall of a trendy art deco penthouse. Almost every element of this panel has a “pair”, which makes the composition symmetrical and organizes the space. And the original staircase lamp supports the color scheme of the interior and forms an organic ensemble with the panel.
16. Stained glass windows of the XXI century
All photos In the photo: Living-dining room with unique stained-glass windows in a villa in Miami Stained glass has always been considered an exclusive decor, the situation has not changed today. But the design of stained-glass windows has changed markedly. So, for the interior of the living room in a villa in Miami, Anzhelika Prudnikova created unique two-color stained-glass windows with a stylized image of park fountains, which fit perfectly into the style of the project. The golden pattern applied to the black-tinted mirror looks very elegant and “echoes” with the second floor balustrade railing.
17. Designer fixtures for stairs
All photos In the photo: Hall elite cottage in art deco style in Samara The original author's lamp for the stairs is an indispensable element in the design of a billionaire's house. As a rule, this is a large-scale handmade chandelier with hundreds of crystal pendants or a spiral model made of colored Murano glass. It is intended not so much to illuminate the flight of stairs as to create a special atmosphere in the hall, and therefore it is selected in accordance with the style and color scheme of the project.
18. Decorative columns-pots
All photos In the photo: Bedroom with a fireplace and planter columns in a penthouse in the residential complex "Airship" The Russian soul requires scope, therefore, in the houses of Rublev's inhabitants, columns are a common thing. But in the capital's penthouses, they are not often found. The exception is a luxurious apartment in the residential complex "Airship", where the columns decorate the interior of the bedroom. At the same time, the main role is played not by structural elements located around the perimeter of the room, but by decorative columns-planters in the form of palm trunks. Together with a large linear bio-fireplace, they form an effective partition that serves as the head of the bed.
19. Bar counter with LED-backlight
All photos In the photo: Illuminated bar counter in the interior of the living room of a house in Monaco An elegant bar counter with an onyx base in the interior of a private house in Monaco is a real art object. Embedded LEDs bring out the beautiful texture of the stone, giving it an amber hue, and make the counter one of the centerpieces of the design. And in the evening it can be used as additional source light to create a romantic mood. In the house of a millionaire in Krasnodar, designers decorated with an image of an open gate from which a beautiful landscape opens. The painting is located on a decorative partition framed by high mirror panels and round columns. As a result, it seems that in the center of the room there is a portal with access to a well-groomed park.
21. Mirror Portal
All photos In the photo: Living room in the residence of the oligarch The central element in the living room of the oligarch's residence in the photo is a unique designer chandelier with tubular blown glass pendants. It is reflected in a portal-like high mirror panel located above the fireplace, and it seems that there are two chandeliers. This technique makes it possible to enhance the visual effect of the lamp and emphasize the scale of the room.
22. Ceiling "Starry sky" and bubble panels
All photos In the photo: Lounge in a mansion near Moscow Thanks to complex multi-level lighting, a very comfortable atmosphere reigns in the photo in the relaxation room. The main role in the lighting scenario of this room is assigned to the Starry Sky stretch ceiling and bubble panels illuminated by blue LEDs. They give a wonderful effect both in full light and in the dark. A suspended structure on the ceiling creates the illusion of a window.
23. LED lighting in the design of the stairs
All photos In the photo: Illuminated staircase in the VIP suite The use of colored LED lighting in design is a hot trend in interior fashion. Using this technique, you can create a special atmosphere in the room, adjust the geometry of the space or focus on a specific detail. In the VIP apartments in the photo, such lighting emphasizes the architecture of the flight of stairs and serves to illuminate the steps at night.
24. Fireplace with bas-relief
All photos In the photo: Living room with a fireplace in country house in Barvikha A fireplace is not only an element of comfort, but also a sign of luxury. And the modern model with Italian marble trim and original bas-relief, designed by the designers of Anzhelika Prudnikova Studio specifically for the millionaire's house in Barvikha, can rightly be called a work of art. Thanks to the mirror "edging", the composition has a finished look. And paired Chinese vases standing on the mantelpiece add symmetry to it.
25. Decorative window frames
All photos In the photo: Living room in the residence of the oligarch Expensive apartments in prestigious residential complexes Russian rich people are very fond of, who spend a lot of money on interior design to their taste. Next, we take a look at the most non-standard solutions, which may seem like complete bad taste to you and me, although in fact it is nothing more than a “unique author's design”. By the way, most of these apartments can be found on the websites of elite real estate agencies, where they are rented or sold.
First of all, let's go here - to the residential complex on Mosfilmovskaya
Here, many apartments are rented out, choose - I do not want: the prices are swooning, the interiors are murderous.
"Apocalypse Now": 3 rooms, 345 thousand rubles per month.
"Big Brother and the bloody regime": 3 rooms, 422.5 t. per month
And here is the penthouse - "neon brothel". 7 rooms, 4 bathrooms and 900 tr. per month
In general, the interior is thought out to the smallest detail: look, there is even a real barrier for face control.
But there is nothing to feel "at home". Unless, of course, you dreamed of spending your whole life at the bar counter, at least from that, at least from the other side.
Until you see it, it seems that the love of our rich for "golden toilets" has cooled off. But no: the Sultan of Brunei himself would have been taken aback by the monumental splendor and splendor of the "palace" for sale here.
4 rooms, 3 bathrooms, 4 dressing rooms and a laundry room with a bathroom 3.8 million dollars (240 million rubles)
Even the photo shows that there is no imitation here, everything is real: marble, and onyx, and brocade, and valuable wood. It emanates from all this with a diabolical temptation, and the soul freezes, feeling that it is about to be sold.
But wait, you haven’t seen other beauties yet - we’re flying to the LCD on Schukinskaya.
There is also a painted “palace” here, you can rent it, but you need to have a stable psyche, otherwise in some rooms you will want to scream and fight in hysterics.
9 rooms, 1 million rubles a month For this money you will admire reproductions of famous paintings, which have no value, but are very richly framed.
And revel in the idyllic views from the ceiling, plunging your loins into pink plush.
By the way, about the idyll. It's time to visit the LCD on Krasnaya Presnya.
Despite his brash modern look, one of the apartments for sale seems to have been decorated by a handicraft grandmother who is an ardent fan of rural retro.
5 rooms, 3 million dollars (192.6 million rubles)
Endearing, right? Wallpaper flows smoothly into curtains, upholstery and pillow covers, and if you are not ready to study all the details of the pattern under a magnifying glass, then you will definitely notice them in the pictures on the wall. The description says that the windows offer a beautiful view of the park and the White House.
But the apartment is located on the 2nd floor, so apparently they decided to compensate for the lack of a panorama with an “English pastoral”. However, let's be honest. Desperate floral prints only nightmarish the untrained eye in the bedroom.
But the dining room: everything here is just brown.
But in the elite house on 2nd Tverskaya-Yamskaya, the “grandmother-needlewoman” took a walk in earnest.
One of the most expensive apartments in Moscow, where literally everything is stamped with a pink curse.
4 rooms, 8 thousand dollars (511.6 thousand rubles) per month
Curtains, chairs, armchairs, ottomans, wallpaper and even a passe-partout with paintings on the wall are “polluted” with roses!
You can’t hide from this “color change” even in the restroom:
Although we seem to know who would like this:
Finally, we invite you to the LCD on Shabolovka.
The highlight of our excursion program is a three-level penthouse "with a stunning designer renovation."
Rent for 330 thousand rubles a month.
Office on the first level. On the second living room with fireplace and three bedrooms. On the third terrace, relaxation room, sauna and swimming pool. Envy and tremble.
The terrace, by the way, has its own Kremlin tower. “I sit high, I look far away”: why not imagine yourself as someone more than an “ordinary” millionaire?
