OK, so here’s my Beverly Hills list. Location gets a big premium for me in Beverly Hills, because there’s lots of places that aren’t as nice – even north of Sunset. That said, there’s enough great homes in the best parts of BH, that eventually it becomes all about the houses.
1) $25 MILLION – 5 Beds, 12 Baths – Super English Tudor home that is just a joy to be in and around, whether you’re inside or outside in the fabulous gardens, putting green, pool or tennis court. Great library, master, theater. Totally awesome. It’s actually a bit overpriced, but in the end, I had to put it No. 1.
2) $9.7 MILLION – 6 Beds, 8 Baths – Lush landscaping for a 1920s Spanish that’s been completely updated. Fabulous details.
3) $32 MILLION – 5 Beds, 7 Baths – This is a big, elegant Country French property with a lot of outside area and super rooms.
4) $8.7 MILLION – 6 Beds, 6 Baths – Superb Mid-Century Modern that’s been updated with magnificent details and finishings. It just exudes modern sophistication.
5) $25 MILLION – 6 Beds, 9 Baths – Brand new Mediterranean that isn’t the gaudy type. It’s tasteful, classic and has amazing views and great details.
6) $10 MILLION – 5 Beds, 9 Baths – Another new Mediterranean that was over-priced but has come down dramatically in price and is now a great buy.
7) $23.5 MILLION – 5 Beds, 9 Baths – Great newer traditional with huge lawns, the kind where you can easily envision the Kennedy’s playing touch football.
8) $29 MILLION -- 10 Beds, 15 Baths – This traditional has come down quite a bit and now is worth considering. It’s a huge house with tons of land. Huge master. Huge playroom.
9) $7.3 MILLION -- 7 Beds, 8 Baths – Really great feel to this updated home with some great finishings. Downgraded slightly for location.
10) $9.2 MILLION -- 6 Beds, 7 Baths – Great flats home. Traditional architecture. Nice finishings. Nice backyard. Nice flow.

Top 10 Beverly Hills homes for sale
***SPECIAL OVER $100 MILLION CATEGORY***
1) $165 MILLION -- 29 bedrooms, 40 bathrooms -- Hmm, let's see. Fleur de Lis in Bel Air for $125 million or the former Hearst mansion in Beverly Hills for $165 million? I know which one I'd pick (and why), but you'll have to ask me to get an answer.

Complete information about each home would require an immense amount of work. I'll venture a guess regarding Mr. Hain's choice between the wealthy divorcee' and the Hearst property. I say he chooses the Hearst property because of the pedigree, the amount of land and the craftsmanship of the property.
