What would a technology lover do with unlimited funds and no decent place to live? One answer might be the new estate of Microsoft founder Bill Gates. Costing more than $53 million dollars, the home and its accompanying structures cover some 66,000 square feet. To check it out for yourself, try our tour.
THE TOUR Our interactive "tour by mouse" will give you a close-up of different structures on the compound just by pointing and clicking. While you are touring, play a game of "Where's William?"–can you find Bill in the drawing? (Hint: He's not wearing a shirt.)

You can also buy a three-page, full-color print version of our Gates' mansion feature.
