New York is home to some of the country's most expensive real estate but a stretch of land in the Hamptons proves to have some of the nation's top priced addresses. 

Meadow Lane, located in Southampton, boasts of high-profile residents and beachfront properties that can cost up to $75million.

The area has been dubbed 'Billionaire Lane' by Forbes due to America's rich and powerful moguls and business people choosing this five-mile stretch of land to escape to. 

Even Hollywood has noted the prestige of the area and several blockbuster movies, such as Something's Gotta Give, and TV shows have set up shop in the luxury neighborhood for filming.

Among the residents are noted fashion designers, hotelier tycoons, billionaire CEOs and investment bankers.

To accommodate the neighborhood's affluent lifestyle, a private helipad is conveniently located nearby and can whisk residents to Manhattan in 20 minutes.

Most homes sit on multi-acre properties and come equipped with tennis courts and swimming pools. 

The median sale price for one of these mansions was around $18million in 2012, according to PropertyShark.

And though some celebrities do own houses on the waterfront stretch, Wall Street financiers dominate the area.

The wealthiest man in the neighborhood is David Koch, executive vice president of Koch Industries, and he is also New York's richest resident with a net worth of just over $48billion, reported Business Insider

His Hamptons home has seven bedrooms, a tennis court and seaside pool, amounting to a $23.2million value.

This isn't the only multi-million dollar home Koch owns, he resides in an $17million 18-room duplex that spans two floors in New York City's famed 740 Park Avenue address. 

A New York Times piece revealed that Koch, along with his brother Charles Koch, spent nearly $900million on the 2016 presidential campaign with their political organization that mostly backs Republicans. 

At the latest donor retreat for the Koch brothers in Colorado Springs in June, the billionaire conservatives and their chief lieutenants talked of how to push their agenda through Congress.

No agenda items mattered more to the conservative Koch network than the GOP's promise to overhaul the nation's tax code and repeal and replace President Barack Obama's health care law.

One of the most expensive homes on Billionaire Lane belongs to American designer Calvin Klein. 

Klein, whose net worth is an estimated $700million, spent a rumored $75million building his glass and concrete compound, a feat that took years to complete. 

He built the stunning minimalist mansion with floor to ceiling glass so that even the shower was visible to the public until he put up a modesty screen.

The original idea was that the mansion would be 'naturalistic' and blend in with the surroundings which, in this case, is the beach and the dunes on the exclusive part of Southampton, New York.

Every room has sliding doors so that the space can be reorganized at his whim.

There are white sofas in every room, Danish-made chairs by Poul Kjaerholm, vintage furniture by Le Corbusier, an infinity pool and a neighboring building he plans to use as a screening room - it is joined to the main house by an underground passageway.

During the construction process Klein built a life-size mock up of the property made of plywood which needed its own building permits and cost some $350,000 all on its own.

Klein bought the land in 2003 for $30m and later had the castle-like house on the property knocked down.
