Nicknamed Xanadu 2.0 (after the Citizen Kane estate), Mr. Gates' home is only partially visible from satellite imagery, as some of the compound is built directly into the side of the hill. Only about 20% of the home is family living space, where there are 8 bedrooms and 25 bathrooms. It features a 2,100 square foot library, which has showcased Leonardo da Vinci's 16th-century Codex Leicester that Mr. Gates purchased in 1994 for $30.8 million dollars. There is a 1,000 square foot dining room, and an 84 step staircase that guests descend from the drop-off area on the top of the hill down to the ground floor. You can see the large windows of his 60 foot long indoor/outdoor swimming pool that features an underwater sound system all the way from the lake (guests can swim from the inside to the outside by swimming underneath a glass wall). The property also features a 2,500 square foot gym and a 23-car garage.
Bill Gates' house is built into the hillside overlooking the waters of Lake Washington in the city of Medina, WA. The property is located just outside of Seattle and is close to Redmond where Microsoft is located. The 66,000 square foot mansion sits on 5-acres and took over seven years to build at a cost of $63.2 million dollars. The property was purchased in 1988 for $2,050,000 dollars, according to public records. Taxes on the property in 2009 were $1.063 million dollars with a total assessed value of $147.5 million dollars. here
Only a portion of Bill Gates’ wealth comes from his Microsoft shares, which he co-founded with Paul Allen in 1976. The 4% of Microsoft shares he owns account for less than one-fifth of his total net worth, according to Bloomberg. The rest of his wealth is from his investment companies, such as Cascade Investment, which holds stakes in several railways, Berkshire Hathaway and other companies.
Bill Gates owns numerous other properties, including a ranch in Cody, WY, a house on Jupiter Island, FL, a house in Indian Wells, CA, and a house in Wellington, FL.
