Ever imagined living in an iconic home from your favorite TV show or movie? New research from Evernest reveals just how close (or rather, how far) you’d have to be to bring that dream to life.
According to the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis, the median U.S. home sales price as of the third quarter of 2024 is $420,400, but the price tag for these famous properties will leave even the wealthiest stunned.
They evaluated 10 of the most iconic fictional homes and calculated the real-life financial requirements to own these properties–including necessary annual income and net worth.
Spoiler alert: buyers would need to be part of an elite wealth bracket to snag any of these legendary homes!

For most fans, the cost alone keeps this British landmark strictly in the realm of on-screen fantasy.
Tony Stark’s Mansion — “Iron Man”
- Location: Malibu, California
