Jackie Siegel is determined to finish building the largest single-family home in America – no matter the cost
largest single-family home in AmericaThe Florida mom and her family, whose lives were the subject of the 2012 documentary "The Queen of Versailles," is back for the Discovery+ docuseries "The Queen of Versailles Reigns Again." The show explores the challenges the 56-year-old and her husband David Siegel have endured in finishing the construction of their home, a project that has been more than 20 years in the making.
The 90,000-square-foot mega-mansion, inspired by the Versailles palace in France, features six kitchens, a 35-car garage, a 150-person dining room, a grand ballroom with gemstone-encrusted floors and a British pub. Siegel also has big dreams to have a Benihana hibachi grill installed and an aviary with toucans and flamingos. When done, the mother of eight suspects the home could be worth $200 million.
The Siegels have faced numerous obstacles over the years. After buying the land for the home in 2000, construction was halted during an economic downturn that impacted patriarch David Siegel, founder of Orlando-based Westgates Resorts. The family also endured a personal tragedy when their 18-year-old daughter, Victoria Siegel, passed away in 2015 from an overdose of methadone and antidepressants.Today, Siegel is feeling hopeful about the future of her family – and home.
