A mansion built for the Qatari royal family in the Los Angeles district of Bel-Air has hit the market with a $400 million asking price, a potential record for a US home sale.

The property, completed in 2018 after nearly eight years of planning and construction, is perched on an 8-acre hilltop with sweeping views stretching from downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean. It features indoor and outdoor pools, a tennis court and gatehouse dedicated to security.
