Here's how much it costs to deck out a mansion with a specialty pool
A pool may run up the total cost of a home, and if money isn't an issue - some people will go all out for the perfect watering hole.
Just ask the Kardashian’s, whose Miami mansion features an infinity pool with ocean views and underwater speakers, or Mark Wahlberg, whose first Hollywood home showcased a pool with a waterfall, cabanas and beautiful views of the canyon.
But, perhaps, the most artistic one yet is a 50,000-gallon, 90-feet long mega-pool shaped like a giant Stradivarius violin. Located in New York, it was once owned by former Wall Street executive Jay Dwek and took more than a year to complete.
It comes decked out with 5,600 fibe optic strands embedded in the floor, according to Realtor.com, as well as 450,000 glass tiles, two adjacent koi pools and a full-service spa.
