The former home of newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst has 29 bedrooms and a 6.5-acre grounds with trees, lawns, three swimming pools and tennis courts.

Hearst bought the H-shaped mansion in 1947 for about $120,000.

The 1920s-era pink stucco estate north of Sunset Boulevard is featured in the first Godfather film's "horse head" scene.

But the estate is not the only US property awaiting a buyer who can afford a nine-figure price tag.

A 10-bedroom property in Montana’s Big Sky country is on offer for $155m.

And former Saudi ambassador to the US, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, is still seeking a buyer for his Hala Ranch compound in Aspen, Colorado, a year after it was first listed for sale for $135m.

These prices far surpass the record set by former media mogul Gary Winnick in 2001, who spent just $94m for his home, the Los Angeles Times reported.
