The Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix, Arizona, was built by William Wrigley Jr. in 1930 as an anniversary gift for his wife, Ada. The mansion features a 360-degree view of the Valley of the Sun and is adorned with gold leaf and hand-painted ceilings. After Wrigley's death in 1932, the mansion changed hands several times before being purchased by Geordie Hormel in 1973. Hormel restored the mansion and opened it as a private club, where he entertained guests with his piano playing. The mansion has since become a world-class destination, with a spectacular wine cellar and outstanding chef.
