Would you like to live in Al Capone's home? All you need is about $10 million -- or if you prefer to get a mortgage -- make sure you can afford the monthly payments of more than $50,000.
The mobster's estate on Palm Island in Miami is on the market for sale for $9.95 million.
The seven-bedroom house, at 93 Palm Ave., sits on a 30,000-square-foot waterfront lot. The compound includes the main house, a guest house, a pool and a two-story cabana.

The notorious Chicago gangster paid $40,000 for the 6,000-square-foot mansion in 1928. He died in the house in January 1947, a few years after he was released from Alcatraz. Capone's wife, Mae, stayed in the house and sold it in the '70s to former Delta Airlines pilot Hank Morrison, says listing broker Jorge Alonso, of Douglas Elliman Florida.
The retired pilot signed a contract to sell the property in 2008 with the option to live in the house for another three years. The deal closed last year for $5.65 million. Peter Corsell, founder of energy-technology company Gridpoint, was the buyer. The house has been entirely renovated, Alonso says.
Several buyers have already inquired about the house, including a basketball player and some foreign buyers, most of them from France and Russia, Alonso says.

I would like to show appreciation to the writer just for rescuing me from this particular setting. Just after surfing around throughout the online world and meeting notions that were not pleasant, I believed my life was gone. Living without the strategies to the difficulties you've solved through your good article content is a serious case, and the ones that would have adversely affected my career if I had not encountered your web page. Your good mastery and kindness in touching everything was valuable. I'm not sure what I would have done if I had not discovered such a subject like this. I'm able to at this moment look ahead to my future. Thanks a lot so much for your professional and sensible help. I won't be reluctant to propose the website to anybody who requires recommendations about this topic. jordan 4 cavs 2012 price
We moved to Miami in 1969 and this house came up for sale in the early 70's. My Dad had a chance to buy it for $110,000 then and passed it up. He knew it was a steal even then, but just couldn't pull the trigger. He was right, but wrong for not doing it. Oh well.
