Matt Lauer's Hamptons Estate - $44.8 Million

The Hamptons are one of those places we've all heard of. This is a destination that many stars spend their summers in. For Matt Lauer, that meant taking time away from the hard-hitting world of journalism to visit this beautiful waterfront estate.

This property had problems selling from the get-go, with the ex-anchor having issues even getting it listed! That may be why it's still set for so long, or perhaps it's because it costs $44.8 million.

Stone Walled Sanctuary – $39.9 Million

When you look at this sprawling mansion with its stone facade and sweeping greens, it's hard to understand why it still sits empty. This mansion itself once belonged to a steel tycoon and comes with a ton of great amenities.

However, because of things like the home theater and the 11-car garage, the price tag on this mansion may just be the culprit of why it sits empty. After all, who has a spare $32.9 million lying around?

Farmington Mansion - $5.9 Million

Connecticut is one of the most beautiful states in the US, and many well-off individuals choose to live there. This may be because it's close to New York City or perhaps because of the beautiful nature surrounding the property.

This home, which is located in Farmington, has a built-in nightclub and an indoor pool, yet it still sits empty. It's been unsold for so long that the owners have dropped the price tag from $14.5 million to a measly $5.9 million.

Bronx Castle - $3.2 Million

Who doesn't want to live in a castle? This French provincial-style estate includes a terraced garden and medieval-style turrets, adding to the castle-like feel of the home. Built in 1926, there are a lot of beautiful accents to this home.

But, despite the fact it's so beautifully designed, this home has been available since 2009 and is still on the market for $3.2 million.

Lakefront Mansion - $4.9 Million

When you think of luxury homes and mansions, many of us do not automatically go to Michigan, but this home is set in Bloomfield Hills. The home is a waterfront residence; it has beautiful views of Long Lake and features many as well as many other attributes, including six fireplaces.

The home sat empty for quite a while until eventually, the owners decided they needed to make some money off of it. So, they rented it for $25K a month.
