Even If You Robbed All The Banks, You Won't Be Able To Afford The 'Avengers Mansion'

Ever wonder how much the Avengers Mansion would sell for in today's NYC
market? One real-estate expert decided to do the math, and ended up valuing the superhero pad for a cool $113 million!
The insane price-tag was based on the fictional mansion's estimated size (42,000-square-feet), its location (890 Fifth Avenue) and price of other private homes in the area ($2,649 per square foot):

How does this price compare to other super-abodes? Well, just within the Marvel universe, it's $4,074,124 less than Tony Stark's Mansion, $99,540,324 less than Thor's castle, and $54,995,490 more than the X-Mansion. DC's Superman has it beat, though, with his Fortress of Solitude worth more than $813 trillion.
To bring this all back to Captain America, I figured out that in 1941, the year he first debuted in "Captain America Comics" #1, the Avengers Mansion would have cost about $7.1 million. That's what I call a super investment.
