Jackie Siegel, the star of the same name of the popular documentary The Queen of Versailles, gives her followers an update on the status of her Megamansion for two decades after construction began.
The 58-year-old Socialite posted a short clip on her Instagram account on Sunday with a huge part of the palace, which is appreciated at $ 100 million.
'You! 💋 I know that many of you have been curious about Versailles, so here is a small look! 🏰 We are getting closer … ❤️👸💋, “She showed the mail.
The Megamansion, of which Siegel once said it would be completed in 2020, was filled with construction supplies and employees could be heard in the background.
Florida's Versailles, named after the French Palace, has an incredible 14 bedrooms and 30 bathrooms, and it is one of the most expensive houses in the United States.
The incredible opulence of the estate – which is only shocking as the primary residence of Siegel, her husband David Siegel and their seven children – has stretched the construction for decades.

“Well, I'm at Versailles and we're getting closer,” Siegel announced at the start of the video, which she filmed herself.
“We are getting closer to doing,” she went on, focusing the camera over the balcony to investigate the huge room.
In contrast to the awesome luxury of the Megamansion, Siegel was tastefully dressed in a scarlet outfit with a high neck with a dark jacket with large golden buttons.
It seemed to be a large ballroom, with golden coffered ceilings and a large round stained glass fixture in the middle of the ceiling, on which an elegant chandelier hung.
The rectangular hall was decorated with several balconies that would have been ideal to watch a party.
The ground floor contained an elegant staircase that went to the second floor on either side of the room, although Siegel chose to use a lift to descend.
She grabbed her camera next to each other, first on the right to mark the lush golden casting on the curved edge of the ceiling, but the view also revealed how much to complete.
A small set of scaffolding had been built on the balcony for an employee to tinker with, and the marble stairs seemed to have had steps, but the handrails were still being built.
'Well, I am at Versailles and we are getting closer. We are getting closer to the cum, “she said. The view of the large ballroom showed scaffolding and construction supplies that are littered everywhere on the floor
She fed to reveal the railing of the marble stairs, was still built, and there was more jetty for the ceiling slits
Tarps and the painter's tape were laid out over a large part of the space, although the graceful Coffered ceiling usually seemed to have been completed
“It still has a bit of work,” she said, turning around to leave her lift, who still had to do cosmetic work on it
Long strips of painters stumble on the floor from finishing to finish, and crates, scaffolding and other pieces of construction waste were spread randomly.
“It still has a bit of work,” she said, turning around to leave.
Siegel almost lost control of her video when she pushed an arm out to prevent Xanadu.
Siegel and her husband, who the Florida -based Timeshare Resort company Westgate Resorts Ltd. founded, started to build Versailles in 2004 in the Gated Community of Lake Butler Sound in Orange County, Florida.
But the work came to a halt in 2009 when it was only a little more than half completed because of financial problems that David encountered with his company because of the financial crisis of 2007-2008.
The Megamansion was then launched for $ 65 million, and it became a sensation after the release of the 2012 documentary The Queen of Versailles.
The film, directed by Lauren Greenfield, was a hit with critics, who praised it to balance his criticism of the richness of the Siegels with sympathetic images of the couple while struggling to rule in their spending while the economy cratered .
Jackie was again profiled in the Queen or Versailles Reigns docuseries, which began to be broadcast at Discovery+in early 2022, before moving to HBO Max later that year.
