💲Billionaires and Millionaires Lake Shore Mansions in Chicago's North Shore!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2022
- Millionaires and billionaires' mansions first time ever captured by drone along Chicago's North Shore suburbs before the Spring tree foliage obscures them. These mansions are lakefront properties that have never ever been seen by the general public. Super large dense trees and bush foliage, high fencing, and private beaches make these mansions hard to be seen from the street, sidewalk, boat, or even air.
These towns are some of the most wealthiest in the United States!
A link below will show an inside tour of Michael Jordan's mansion.
This video was filmed in April 2022.
Be safe and enjoy!

NOTE: The drone was flying at a much higher altitude than it may appear.
A zoom feature was used to get as close as possible for the best viewing and was never flying directly above the property.
There was no intention to violate anybody's privacy rights and was just showcasing
the beautiful property.
Wow, just WOW! Went to Northwestern and a best friend lives in Glencoe so I have traveled on the street side of them many times and always wondered what they must be like. Until now it was only a passing wonder as I drove by. Now. Wow just wow. As a former film editor - the only criticism is that some of them are seen too long and there was some repetition,
Like someone else posted - I would love to see some of these in Spring or better still in summer. How many people live in these homes? Lots of empty unused rooms. I'm guessing many of these owners NEVER venture all the way down to their private beaches.
Thanks for watching. I'd love to capture these mansions during the summer months, but the large trees(oak trees, cotton wood trees, large bushes, etc...) obscure most of the property. Some residents utilize the beaches( launching kayaks, taking a brisk walk, swimming, etc...). They use the jacuzzis even in early spring when it's still chilly out from what I observed. Sheridan rd. is the closest you get to see these properties as you would know. Even people living in these towns don't even know what these mansions really look like along the lakefront besides some still photographs they've seen.
I'm no professional video editor, but I had a good time capturing these mansions for everyone to see from a different perspective. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope to become a better editor with each video I upload.
@@chicago4k542 Understand about the large trees - perhaps in Spring before they fully bloom.
I'm thinking that the current number of residents in a majority of those homes is very very low. Too huge a space for only 2 people to live. Kids move away from home.
Ostentatious homes - more for show than actual living. And I bet no one from a majority of the houses NEVER visit their private beach.
Thanks for the many links to more stories regarding: the history you mentioned.
I live in Chicago and have driven the north shore burbs many times. You never grasp the sheer size and scale of these homes from the street. Amazing video, thank you for posting!
I agree 110%
Burr ridge has some insane mansions. Unique and MASSIVE
I live in the north shorter in glencoe
I assume most of these are in gated communities where you can't just ride down the street and look at them.
Prettiest Big City in America
It truly is!
I was waiting for this video thanks ☺️
The north shore is my hood. While I am defiantly not in a mansion, it still is an amazing place to live.
This was awesome to see, thanks for the production and upload👌
WOW!!! Oh that ending shot looking toward downtown is spectacular!!!
its Breath taking..to see the.Beautiful Mansions..Great Video!
Wow! That’s beautiful!
Spectacular perspective of these home!! I want more
I love the video make some more please
Such a Beautiful Vidoe on such a beautiful area Chicago's North Shore
Great drone work!!! love this production!!
so, about drones…the FAA requires registration, unless a drone is old and qualifies for grandfathering under FAA rules. that being said, what is the local rules regulating drone flights over private property? asking for a friend of the family.
Great Video! Thank You 😊
great content man!~
I really enjoyed viewing these mansions. I especially like how the land was terraced down to the shore that was no doubt lined with sand that had been trucked in. Also. Thank you for the slow moving camera as I suffer from motion sickness but this speed was perfect for me!
Thanks for sharing it was unbelievable.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Welcome back!!👍
This is crazy! My new fav neighborhood 😅 thank you
Great video, and the music was very good. Great job
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I'm definitely going back to the North Shore at some point to do another video. Part 2! 🤩
Mate you've done amazing video absolutely amazing
Wow I'm not big fan of USA but you definitely just opened my eyes mate wow
it's amazing, it's so beautiful And I don't know how to express myself like I'm in the hiden gem
Holy crap. I had no idea Chicago had houses like this 😳
North Shore suburbs! A link is in the description of a tour of the inside of Michael Jordan's mansion. Check it out.
People sleep on the Midwest big city suburbs. Chicago & Detroit’s for sure.
We are the 3rd largest city in the country, did you think BIG Mansions & Mini Mansions were only in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York & Miami?🤔🤴🏽✌
lol Chicago has like 10-15 of the 100 wealthiest zip codes in the US. The area has approximately 160,100 millionaires, 340 centimillionaires, and 28 billionaires.
@@kingpinstatus916 Wealthy homes are everywhere not just in the West or Northeastern of the United States. This makes me proud to be from the Midwest. ❤
Amazing footage!
Had no idea this existed… thank you
True
Beautiful homes Life of success
I once got to tour a private home that was in excess of 40,000 square feet. They handed me a map as I entered so I wouldn't get lost! I needed it, jeez!
That's crazy lol 😮
@@chicago4k542 Indeed. The owner told me afterward he was selling it because it was simply too big. He said, "there are rooms in here I've never even seen before!"
Loved this video, especially with the extra facts embedded. I agree with the comments that it could be edited down a bit, but we'll done!
I traveled into the north shore a few times as I grew up in Elmhurst but knew the Chicago area really well
Beautiful & thanks
💯. Thanks for watching❤
I’ve done some flooring and trim work in a few of these “homes”. I always left wondering where I went wrong lol
Could you possibly make a new summer version of Lincoln Park’s most prestigious streets before it’s over? The last one you did was a winter version and that was over 2 years ago now. There’s been some new homes that have come up. Great video by the way, looks amazing! 👏
Hey Rob, I'll see if I can get to it. 2 years flew by way to fast.
@@chicago4k542 Thank you, I really appreciate the response man. The quality of your videos is incomparable and if there’s someone who can provide a video that does justice for Lincoln Park and Chicago, it has to be you. 2 years went by quick, you’re right, time flies. 😅
Part 2 please? The houses are absolutely stunning
Nice video! There's alot of French Chateau's in the North Shore
Fabulous.
I used to live in Chicago and would go to see this amazing places.
I was born and raised in Chicago il North side very close to Evanston il i must say that Wilmette il , and Winetka il are such an elite suburbs of iIlinois, it is a very beautiful place very well kept place my mother had many homes in both suburbs i lived there from my child hood to my pre adult these homes are amazing and from above with a drone is spectacular .
I was fortunate enough to have grown up in this area. So many of the old mansions have been replaced by new construction. The beach fronts look totally different too. The difference between new money and old money I guess
Sadly, I hate to see these old mansions go.
also grew up in the area and loved the old grand mansions off Sheridan. Sad many of them were razed. Some of the new ones look like a clinic. There used to be really nice colonials etc.
I was inside that one mansion that once stood in 2018 before being demolished. The previous owners had an estate sale. It was gorgeous inside and well maintained. A shame it was torn down.
Always SHAMEFUL when older homes are wiped away for the new especially when the character of the old that won’t be replicated is better that what replaces it
Exactly! A lot of old beautiful mansions are on the chopping block because of new money is on the table. Beautiful old mansions too. Smh
Nice video. Where is the home @ the 44minute 58second mark?
This is where I work. Crazy
Show me Evanston and Lake Forest
The North Shore is so rich in info that I can never do it in 1 video. Very interesting info too. Has to be apart 2,3,4,5 and definitely many more! Lake Forest and Evanston is all part of it that I never mentioned in part 1. Will there be a part 2 or more? Stay tuned and find out! Thanks for watching!
I live here in Chicago all my life. I was born and raised here I would like to visit these places the Lakeshore mansions. I'm nobody really that important.
Do you know if the pool tunnel and lakefront fountain on the McCormick Terrilium estate is still there ?? I see the pool that was in lake Mi has been removed
Yeah, the lake removed it. People live there and will ask you to leave
Lived Evanston for five years. The only problem for those millionaires would be the weather; only two months in summer have nice sunny weather to enjoy all those fabulous outdoor facilities. I saw on Nextdoor, something like a Craiglist, that a chandelier big enough to fill my little humble student housing dining room. I never forget a moment when my immigrant Uber driver gasped saying he hasn’t seen any neighborhood like Evanston. He said he has to drive more than ten hours a day to ends meet. I envied him because I didn’t have work permit; I was a doctorate international student who has enough money to study abroad. What a life mysteries.
20:04 is the money shot. I'd move in there today 💯
Intreating history note on the demolished mansion at the 22:00 mark: Before its purchase in the early 80’s, it had been squatted by a pair of Chicago bank robbers.
The next owners were our neighbors in a different suburb.
For anyone who drove Sheridan Rd, it was the red brick three story with massive white columns, next to a small park. It also had a front guest quarters with massive, white pillars in the front.
Most 3rs floor was a gymnasium.
The purchased it for about $2M in the early ‘80s.
Breathtaking. It was a gem when it was up for sale in 2018z such a shame to lose it.
Fun to know that your house is in a few clips and that your friend lives in one of these homes.
where
Lake Michigan is eventually going to have her way with many of these properties.
The owner of the house at 411 Sheridan Rd also owns the parcels to the south. ( or did while his house was being built)
Yeah, I wouldn't doubt it!
Another reason to be deeply in love with Pixie ASMR/CHICAGO!
I toured the inside of the house at 13:30 mark during construction the round master bathroom is something to be seen
I'm sure! That was the biggest mansion on that block.
I’ve been in a couple of these. they both had full time house keepers and handymen. the amount of money to keep these placing going each year is probably 2-3x the property taxes paid. There is always some sort of construction or updates going on inside and out.
I like how the list showed my brother house and my cousin house..
which b one
How did they get that tractor on the shore front and out???
They used a barge.
Pretty much every estimate in this video is well below what these houses would actually sell for, just putting that out there.
Yeah, you’re right about that!
Follow up video, what do these people do for a living?
Mein Name hätte als Nr. 1 erwähnt werden sollen! Ohne mich hätten sie es nicht geschafft! Ich verdiene alle Anerkennung für ihren Erfolg!
Music?
Did I see two large mansions on the McDonalds owner’s estate???😮😮😮
They all live there because they earned it. And never excused the mistakes they've made in their life on someone else.
Very highly educated people live there, and or self educated!
@@chicago4k542 I know, I grew up there.
I would hate to pay the property tax bills on these mansions. 😂
There's a property in the same area that has a property tax of almost 700k a year. They definitely have alot of money to throw around, that's for sure!
Considering these would be 10-20x more expensive elsewhere and Chicago is a tier 1A financial markets these people dont feel it. 9 million in New York gets you a 2 bedroom apt.
Get on with it!
Spent a lot of time on the Evanston shore 49:10
Just curious where Wayne fits into this?
This is crazy one years property tax could buy me a house paid in full wow beautiful homes but winter time freezing 🥶
You're right about that! There's a mansion in the area that had a tax bill closer to 700k.
8:55
go to barrington
Yes, I heard Barrington has incredible mansions. I may do a video at some point.
Barrington Hills particularly has some great homes but even those aren’t comparable to the north shore mansions on the lake….particularly when you get up to Lake Forest
So many new builds replaced the more stately old money homes.
Houses on water top cold to swim in. I'll keep my Hawaii bungalow any time over this.
Right. Living on an expensive tiny, little island thousands of miles from anywhere is prefereable? Apparently not to the many Pacific islanders living on the mainland. Hawaii has a warm climate and beautiful beaches, but not much beyond that. Lived there for two years. It gets old like everything else.
@@LUIS-ox1bv 2 years? Lol. Your opinion. I'll take the people, the weather and being away from California..f...g cesspool filled with plastic people..I lived there for 21 years. Lots of California people here.. it's more expensive than Hawaii. You belong in that sh..t hole place
One day, the ocean will swallow it. There are beautiful but too near the water.
The first house is not the cubs owner's home it is two homes north of the house you said it was
Are you talking about Laura's mansion at 03:49?
@@chicago4k542 yes
@@tvviewer4500 Interesting! Thanks for your input. Are you talking about the property with the flat roof with solar panels?If so, do you have any type of info to back that up? If you know something I don't (articles, pictures, home builders, Landscapers) that tie to that property of the Ricketts living there, that'll be great. I just like to get the facts straight for this video. Thanks!
@@chicago4k542 I am very confident the mansion at 03:49 is indeed owned by Laura and her wife. I realize her two brothers live nearby. Is it possible one of her brothers owns a mansion north of Laura's?
@@markhayden4386 I believe so too. I just wanted to see what info TV VIEWER came up with.
I didn't hear nothing back, and it was expected!
Anyways, yes, one of Laura's Brothers (Thomas Ricketts/ Executive Chairman & co-owner of the Chicago Cubs) resides several blocks to the north of her. His mansion can be seen at 45:21 in this video.
many of us can't event afford for property tax with full year salary.
I Wonder Will Chicago South Shore Have Mansions Too?
No, but the neighborhoods Hyde Park and South Shore are unique. South Shore in particular has smaller but very nice looking homes. Unfortunately the crime rate is high.
@@JV-mw7gv Touche' (smile)
@@maureencora1 ya know what Maureen, I forgot to mention the mansions on Martin Luther king dr. I think they’re condos now but they’re still pretty sweet looking.
@@JV-mw7gv Touche' (smile)
The historic ones on Prairie Avenue are beautiful without being as gargantuan.
Am I the only one who would never want to buy a house on the beach in colder climate like Chicago. I would much rather it being more down south, I know those waters get really cold pretty quick.
Yes but no Hurricanes here.
Do you think they only have one home?
In the winter, it usually stays a few degrees warmer along the lake. The lake water can only get so cold before it would eventually freeze. It stays warmer than the air temperature, which drops well below freezing in Chicago, and actually warms the surrounding air. In the summer the lake has a wonderful cooling effect.
@@strqrt70 People who don't live in Chicago are not aware of this fact. Lake Michigan is an inland ocean, and has its micro climate. It influences the weather patterns to a great degree. It is warmer by the lake during the winter, and cooler during the summer.
@@LUIS-ox1bv True ! We live in east central Illinois & even our weather is affected by the lakefront climate !
i do love to see how the other half lives just as much as anyone else. but at the sametime i don't feel that just anyone should be able to get how much they pay in property taxes like in this video.
Did you even get to lake forest?
No, I haven't. I just may go back there to do a part 2.
Impressive properties. Would be interesting to see the landscaping & swimming pools during summer. When I think of Chicagoland, I think of Lawrence of YT's Lost in the Pond (he loves Chicago but he has a phrase: "cold white s***" lol): ua-cam.com/video/jOZhymFu39Q/v-deo.html
These estimates, seem way off to me
Thanks for watching! Are you thinking higher or lower?
@@chicago4k542if these were located on Long Island, New York, they’d be much higher.
Amazing greed. Do not envy these people.
Fun, but please review your printed grammar before releasing. "Movies was"?? Just a thought.
Also most wealthiest.
Thank you for the correction.
@@chicago4k542 I know, it's a little snarky. The weird part is, I focus on the little misstep and lose the larger content because of the distraction. Glad you weren't offended. Lived as a kid in Kenilworth, so obviously enjoyed the video.
I drive through the north shore a lot and one can only dream of living along the lake like that. It’s wonderful and it also makes me really sad. The racial disparity is so intense, as well as the residential segregation. If someone drove from east Garfield park and worked their way to the north shore, they would see the stark racial and residential disparities. Even if things improved in Chicago, it would never compare to the gorgeous land that was acquired in the northshore in the late 1800s. They truly got the best land, the most space for the least amount of people, while the city is crowded with these crammed apartments filled with the lower class. They also made sure the north shore was predominantly white, and it still is 80-94% white. I wish there was a way to improve the quality of Chicago residential living considering the feeling one gets visiting these places and comparing it to the urban life…as a brown woman I know I may never have the opportunity these people did to build those gorgeous homes along the north shore at the PRICES they did back in the day. The were afforded the opportunities simply because they were white (i think it was 2,000 homes were offered to white prospective home buyers while only 38 black families were even allowed to look in the mid 1900s).
It’s a testament to the divide in Chicago. The city that built the most beautiful buildings, and also built the worse system of redlining segregation the country had ever seen.
Still, I am grateful I can drive down that scenic route, stop at a beach from time to time, and continue to dream/work hard for myself. It’s great motivation to see beauty like that.
Why is this video so slow???
Hey rich people: The lake’s coming to swallow your homes!
nice. I live in park ridge now. I thought I made it out the city lmao
Do you really think 🤔 they pay taxes on their mansions .
don’t they have to
I can't stand mansions: it's no fun being isolated out in the middle of nowhere, arguing with buffoons about the property line. Give me a fancy apartment in downtown anyday.
It's not a Chicago mansion if it's not in Chicago
This video is certainly high-quality real estate eye candy, but it would benefit from significant editing. It inexplicably lingered for faaaaar too long over each property, and included captioning that read like it was chosen and composed by a nine-year-old.
Also: as someone who grew up in that area 50 years ago, most of the featured homes appear to have been built in the interim.
Ribirin H-S,
I'd ride my bike through the Chicago Botanical Gardens, then over to and south on Sheridan Road to the Bahi'a Temple and Wilmette Harbor. Too much concentrated wealth today, not like when I was growing up. Still, when the husband dies and the money is gone, you can find widows living in studio apartments above stores in these neighborhoods, left with a few pieces of silverware and perhaps a ring or two.
Why would the money be gone when the husband dies? These are people of substantial wealth who aren’t dependent on a paycheck. Unless they disinherit their spouse, they likely leave enough money for many generations to come.
@@strqrt70 There are always the exceptions.
These houses look weird...... not saying they're not comfortable. they just look strange.... and not one person is seen outside 🙄
It means a lot to them to have a private beach when stinky Lake Michigan is full of bacteria. Another thing is that all the houses have a west-east position, while in architecture it is known that the southern exposure is the best because of the light, especially since it is a huge space. All in all, not so enchanting.
