Le Palais was designed by luxury real estate developer Mohamed Hadid, father to supermodels Bella (pictured here with her father) and Gigi. His ex-wife, and the models' mother, is former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Hadid.

While Hadid originally listed the palatial pad for $58 million (£46.2m) in July 2012, he eventually sold it in June 2013 for quite a lot less, at $32.8 million (£26.1m), according to Redfin. The buyer was reportedly Islam Karimov, the late ruler of Uzbekistan, who picked up the extravagant home for his daughter, Lola, according to The Daily Mail.

The property has a storied history. The original house that stood on the plot belonged to razor inventor King C. Gillette, who sold it in 1922 to the six-times married Sunset Boulevard star Gloria Swanson (inset).
