Due to cultural influence, the rich in Asia buy or hold on to real estate properties, including luxury homes, primarily to increase their wealth. The wealthy Asians are willing to spend 28 percent of their total capital to invest in real estate, according to a report from World Entrepreneur magazine.
With Asians buying 40 percent of luxury homes around the world, many Chinese own properties in Hong Kong, New York, London, and Sydney. In China, the real estate sector has been a hot topic for many years.
Here's a look at top 10 luxury houses in Asia, including China.
