Billionaire Ira Rennert made his fortune as an investor and businessman. He's the proud owner of the Fair Field Estate, a massive complex situated in the plush New York Hamptons. This place doesn't mess around: it's said to be worth a whopping $200 million, making it one of the most expensive homes in the United States.

Rennert houses around $500 million worth of rare art in the many buildings scattered across his grounds on the New York countryside. It won't surprise anyone then to learn that he's keen to ensure no unwanted visitors take a wander around his estate, even if they're not looking to rob the place.

Look towards the bottom of the picture attached and you'll see a wall surrounding the perimeter. The estate's only entrance point is a giant security gate that is constantly manned. Other than that, there are more security cameras than most museums, and all the windows on the entire 21-bedroom complex are bulletproof.
