It’s an auction pretty much limited to billionaires: a sale of the biggest U.S. mega-mansion, the troubled Los Angeles hilltop estate dubbed “The One.”

Almost three dozen potential buyers -- all showing evidence they can afford the project -- have toured the grounds in the six weeks since the property appeared on the multiple listing service with an asking price of $295 million.
