The Mansion Family
See the house that chewing gum built and potted meat restored
Way before MTV invited us to peep the pimped-out pads of celebs on Cribs, industrialist fat cats were creating their own mega-mansions swank enough to make these new-money domiciles seem dumpy by comparison. One of the most magnificent was Phoenix's own Wrigley Mansion. Built for about $300,000 by chewing-gum kingpin William Wrigley Jr. as a 50th-anniversary gift for the missus, the colossal casa covers nearly 17,000 square feet, and sports 12 fireplaces and 12 bathrooms.
