For the same price as this cottage, you could bag a sprawling castle in Bavaria or a huge historic mansion in Saxony. With 13 rooms in total, the house is big but not especially luxurious despite the multimillion-dollar price tag.

The 1% don't think twice about shelling out millions for a property here that would cost a fraction of the price elsewhere. Cue this 3,875-square-foot chalet, which is on the market with Sotheby's International Realty, for a heart-stopping £13.8 million ($18m).

Other selling points include small walk-in wardrobes, a wine cellar and a compact garden. Of course, potential buyers are really paying for the prime location here rather than the house itself, which is more of a homely ski pad than a dreamy chalet.
