In the foothills of Bel Air rises “Billionaire,” the aptly named Los Angeles mega-mansion that for one hot moment was the most expensive home for sale in the U.S.

Even in this age of ultra-wealth, and in a city with no shortage of expensive homes, this one is over the top: 38,000 square feet of living space, 12 bedrooms, 21 bathrooms, three kitchens, a 40-seat movie theater, infinity pool with a swim-up bar and a four-lane bowling alley.
