Although the movie portrayed it as a Miami mansion, it is actually a 109-year-old home in Montecito, California. Its best known scenes were Tony's wedding to the cocaine-addicted beauty queen Elvira (Michelle Pfeiffer's break-out role) and where Tony made his bloody last stand with his M-16 “little friend” killing 42 assassins. Other than the movie, the mansion is most famous as the wedding site for 54-year-old Charlie Chaplain and 18-year-old Oona O'Neill, daughter of playwright Eugene O'Neill, in 1943.

After Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, the third place position has been held by Carlos Slim Helu, the Mexican businessman and investor who has a controlling interest in many companies, including Telmex and America Movil. However, Slim has been pushed out of his position, and been replaced by Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com , according to a recent report by Bloomberg . This is due to the fact that the stock price of Amazon has had a huge spike. Yesterday, the stock traded at 680.57 per share.

Hollywood History Home! Steeped in Hollywood history, one of Beverly Hills’ earliest movie star mansions has recently gone on the market at $42.5 million . Built in the early 1920s by architect John Byers for film director King Vidor ( War and Peace, Ruby Gentry, The Fountainhead ), the mansion was eventually sold to actor John Barrymore. From its earliest days as a lima bean farm and then a failed oil field, developers began selling large home lots in the early 1900s naming the Los Angeles neighborhood “Beverly Hills,” based on Beverly Farms in Massachusetts. The Beverly Hills Hotel was built in 1911 and attracted many of Hollywood’s biggest stars, some decided to build their own homes in the nearby hills.
