Welcome to Miami’s Curbed Comparisons, a column that explores what one can rent or buy for a set dollar amount across various South Florida neighborhoods. Is one man's studio another man's townhouse? Let's find out!

We’re pulling a 180 from last week’s Curbed Comparisons, which applied San Francisco’s median one-bedroom rental budget of $3400 to five awesome residences across Miami.

This week, we put our billionaire robes on and traverse South Florida with a silly fantasy budget of $65 million—also known as House Hunters on Steroids.

We begin with our most “affordable” home, which is located in Palm Beach with an asking price of just under $60 million.

Our final and most expensive mansion is the $65 million 46 Star Island, which is the only Miami residence on our tour.
