Astolat Dollhouse Castle, $8.5 Million
This unbelievable dollhouse is known as the Astolat Dollhouse Castle, which took designer and owner Elaine Marie Diehl 13 years to complete. She named it after Tennyson’s poem “The Lady of the Lake.” The house, which sits 9 feet high, also boasts of 7 floors, 29 rooms, 10,000 handcrafted miniature pieces of furniture and the like, actual working fire places, gold chandeliers, a pool, and the ‘smallest antique Bible in the world.’ When it was appraised, it was given an $8.5 million dollar assessment, a price competitive with apartments in the most prominent areas of New York City, but when you see it, you’ll have to agree that it’s really an amazing work of art. Although not all the toys on this list can claim that they took 13 years to create, they have still, in their own way, made their permanent stamp upon the world.
