Not only do mansions cost so much money most of us can only dream of having, they also cost a lot to run.

And 9Honey.com.au website reports for one well-heeled new homeowner, their electricity bill to keep cool in summer and the interior toasty when the mercury plunged came in at a mind-blowing $US50,000 ($78,000) a month.

The wealthy occupant, who bought the home this year for $US141 million ($219 million), won't be stressfully sweating over a big bill.
