7. High-Value Commodity
via dailymail.co.uk
Bill Gates purchased the lot of his estate in 1988 for $2 million (a little over $4 million in today’s dollars). The estate took seven years to build, and ended up costing $63 million to build. Even so, in 2009, judging by Gates’ property tax records, the house had a whopping value of $147.5 million! As of 2012, the house has settled to almost double the value of its original cost, and is worth $123.54 million.
