With a net worth of $95.3 billion, Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates is the second-richest man in America, behind fellow Washington resident Jeff Bezos.

It shouldn't be too surprising that one of the wealthiest people in the world also has an insanely extravagant home.

It took Gates seven years and $63 million to build his Medina, Washington estate, named "Xanadu 2.0" after the fictional home of Charles Foster Kane, the title character of "Citizen Kane." Medina, a suburb of Seattle, is also home to Bezos, making it home to some of the wealthiest people on the planet. 

At 66,000 square feet, the home is absolutely massive, and it's loaded to the brim with high-tech details.
