Most Expensive Homes in the World

How expensive can a home be? Where will you draw a line on your budget for your dream home? Is it really justified to spend millions and sometimes billions on a home for just a few people when there is so much of poverty all over the world?

Well, some people go on building their palaces and empires without giving a thought to problems that cripple most of the economies across the globe.

The most expensive home in the world belongs to Indian business magnate Mukesh Ambani who is the Chairman, Managing Director and the largest shareholder of Reliance Industries Limited. The cost of construction of Mukesh Ambani’s ANTILLA in Mumbai ranged between $ 1 billion to $ 2 billion. The 400,000 sq. ft. and 27 storey high skyscraper has three helicopter pads, 6 levels dedicated to the underground parking and is maintained by a staff of 600 odd people.

The second spot goes to the Villa Leopolda in France. The property belongs to Brazilian billionaire Lily Safra and was built in 1902 for the Belgian King Leopold. In 2008, Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov attempted to buy this property set in 20 acres at a price of $ 750 million.

At the third place is Fair Field in Sagaponack, New York consisting of 29 bedrooms, 39 bath, 3 swimming pools and personal power plant. Owned by US investor it is valued at $248.5 million. The fourth spot goes to One Hyde Park in London. The penthouse at One Hyde Park was sold for an astonishing 140 million pounds to an Eastern European. At fifth place is Kensington Palace Gardens in London which is owned by the steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal. The complete property consists of three homes on the high security street called “Billionaires’ Row” purchased at $222 million in the year 2008.
