Palazzo Steyn – South Africa’s Most Expensive & Lavish Mega Mansion

This amazing mega mansion, dubbed “Palazzo Steyn”, is located in Midrand, Gauteng, South Africa. It is the centerpiece of “Steyn City”, a lavish community under construction that will feature 11,000 residences, private hospital, 2 private schools, offices park, an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course and a wooded parkland.
