WORTH A MENTION: The American Man$ion's Top-10 Mansions In 2021

Whew Lord!!! Compiling this Top-10 list for 2021 was not an easy task! I published about 350 posts this year showcasing some of the nation's most luxurious listings. And unlike last spring's Top-10 list, I opted not to randomize the order of this year's list; they are sorted from favorite (#10) to absolute favorite (#1).

(P.S. The cover mansion above is not included on the list!)
