Harry Houdini | $15m | Los Angeles

Harry Houdini might have been long gone, but who could ever forget the lavish Houdini estate? The five-acre property costs $15 million and is located in Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles. Built in the Edwardian era, this place still features the caves, hidden tunnels, terraced gardens, and a deep-water tank, where the late Houdini, reportedly practiced his stunt performances. Despite his untimely demise, his wife, Bess Houdini, stayed here, where the magic and mystery surrounding The Handcuff King remained.

After Several years have passed, a chunk of investment money may have been used to restore the Houdini Estate to make it more modern. Though it still manages to maintain Houdini’s grand mystique and marvel, it now has up-to-date features and amenities. It’s also now used as an event’s venue, from wedding to baby show to renewal vows and more, with its beautiful garden and massive size.
