Heres how much it costs to buy the most expensive home in Texas and it just upped its asking price

Hear ye, hear ye, the most expensive home in Texas is back on the market — again.This mega-mansion, known as the Crespi estate, is fit for a king.After all, it was designed in the 1930s for an Italian count.
