A Beverly Hills mansion has been advertised for sale at $165m, making it the most expensive residential property listing in the US.
The former home of US newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst has 29 bedrooms, three swimming pools, tennis courts, its own cinema and a nightclub.
Lawyer and investor Leonard Ross, who bought it in 1976, wants a “lifestyle change”, his estate agent said.
Mr Hearst bought the H-shaped mansion in 1947 for about $120,000.

Fake bomb eludes airport test
Federal inspectors were able to slip a fake bomb through a checkpoint at Albany International Airport during a test of the facility’s Transportation Security Administration screeners, according to individuals familiar with the incident.
In one test, TSA inspectors hid the components of a fake bomb in carry-on luggage that also contained a bottle of water. Passengers are prohibited from carrying containers holding more than three ounces of liquids, gels or aerosols through airport checkpoints.
The screeners at Albany International confiscated the water bottle but missed the bomb. In all, the inspectors slipped four banned items through the main checkpoint during the test, sources said.
