When you're raking in millions — or billions — of dollars each year, it's not an exaggeration to say that any home on the market is within your reach.

We're talking multi-acre estates in the Hamptons, triplexes in the wealthiest buildings in Manhattan, and massive dream homes from coast to coast.

We found the 25 most expensive homes in the U.S. owned by the kings of finance. To estimate the approximate current value of the homes, we looked at recent sales and public assessors' records, and spoke to expert realtors and appraisers in these homes' markets.

Sotheby's International Real Estate

Estimated value: $28.5 million

Title: Partner and Senior Portfolio Manager, Moore Capital Management

Earlier this year, Birch put his exquisite, 23,000-square-foot Shelter Island mansion up for sale, asking $28.5 million. The home, which is accessible by sea plane, has 10 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a heated pool, three-car garage, deck spa, tennis and squash courts, and a 100-foot dock.

But the basement of the home is where the action is, with a gym, sauna, eat-in wine cellar, home theater and nightclub. The nightclub also includes what Curbed called a "stripper pole" in the basement, though a spokesperson for the home has said that the basement has never been used as a strip club.
