In 2021, at least 40 residential properties sold for more than $50 million in the U.S., according to data compiled by the appraiser Miller Samuel.

That’s about a 35% increase over 2020, which was also a record year. “The surge in this tier is unprecedented,” says Jonathan Miller, the company's president and chief executive officer. “We’ve never seen this kind of growth.”
