Talk about furnishings fit for a billionaire, Palermo didn’t hold back when it came to decorating his Houston hideaway. The main open-plan reception room boasts crystal chandeliers, expensive antique and reproduction furniture, Murano glass mirrors, plush carpets, and an absolutely fabulous grand piano.

The ostentatious vibe carries through into the bedrooms. The master suite is graced with a solid mahogany four-poster bed, ornate chandelier and marble fireplace. The majestic house even features a lavish home cinema – perfect for watching all those Sopranos reruns.

Vincent Palermo’s Houston hideout
Palermo’s cover was blown in 2009 when the Daily News ran an exposé of his new life in Houston. Several weeks later, he put the mansion up for sale with an asking price of $4 million. It failed to sell, so he took it off the market. The property was listed again in 2015 and purchased the following year for $2.9 million. We wonder if the new owners have an inkling of its shady past.
