Most Expensive House In The World
This article was written on 09 Mar 2007
UPDATE: 20/08/2008: This is old news. There’s a new player in town, and it’s smashed this record to pieces. Find out more over at Most Expensive House 2008
I was curious to find out what is currently the most expensive house in the world. Turns out, you would only need to buy a house for more than 70million pounds to be the owner of the most expensive house in the world. That’s not too bad, aye? Pocket change as far as I’m concerned. However, i’ve checked through various sources and apparently 2 houses in the UK sold for a rumoured 70million pounds, so I guess there are 2 houses that can be considered the most expensive house in the world.
PROPERTY 1
Here’s the first one, Updown Court. You’ll need a spare 1million pounds a year just to run this damn thing.
It’s located 25 miles outside of London. Among the estate’s neighbours are the Duchess of York, Elton John, and, at nearby Windsor Castle, the Queen. So, what exactly would you get for your money? Well, you know, just the basic:
- 103 rooms
- five swimming pools
- 50-seat screening room
- 24-carat-gold leafing flooring
- squash court
- bowling alley
- all-weather, floodlit tennis courts
- 58-acre estate
- 22 bedroom and bathroom suites
- Gate lodge
- estate manager’s office
- Private cinema
- Stables
- Heated marble driveway
- Underground garaging for eight limousines
- a shooting gallery
- 30 self-contained luxury apartments
IS THAT ALL?
Don’t be silly. The master bedroom has its own swimming pool accessed by a private glass lift. The roof has an infinity pool and hot tub encased by a glass barrier that allowed sky and water to meet. The reception hall occupies a footprint larger than most five-bedroom houses. It is dominated by marble columns and a sweeping double staircase modelled on one owned by fashion designer Versace.
So, who owns this little shack?
Apparently the proud owner of Updown Court is multi-billionaire crown prince of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The racehorse owner, who already owns a property in Chertsey in Surrey, is expected to entertain official guests at the mansion.
PROPERTY 2
Again, apparently rumoured to be the most expensive house in the world. It’s located in Kensington Palace Gardens in West London, which has been bought by one of the richest tycoons living in Britain. For some reason, there’s really not that much information available about this property, especially compared to Updown Court. It formerly belonged to Bernie Ecclestone, the Formula One racing boss, who bought the home for £50 million as a surprise gift for his wife. The Kensington Palace gardens houses are dubbed ‘billionaires’ row. Nearby are Kensington Palace and the London home of the Sultan of Brunei. It consists of the former Egyptian embassy and a one-time annex to Russia’s embassy knocked together.
What do you get for your money?
To be honest, I don’t really know. Like I said, information is limited. However, I do know you only get 12 bedrooms. Pffft. For 70 million I want at least 20 bedrooms, so who knows why it cost so damn much? There are literally no pictures of this property available, so you’ll have to settle for this ONE (I’m sorry guys)…
- 12 bedrooms
- garage space for 20 cars
- turkish baths
- a ballroom
- an oak-paneled picture gallery
- ornate basement pool
- Jewelled pool
- controlled by 65 state-of-the-art CCTV cameras
- more than 9,000 sq ft of the same marble used in the Taj Mahal is incorporated in the design.
So, who owns this dump?
Steel tycoon Lakshmi N Mittal, that’s who. He is the richest asian man currently living in the UK. He made his fortune through his steel company- LNM Group, one of the world’s biggest steelmaking companies,. He purchased it in 2004, so again, like Updown Court, there’s no telling how much it is worth now.
NOTE: If anyone knows any further, relevant information about either of these properties, please let me know. I’ll add it to the content. Thanks

I definately agree with you, Todd. What a waste of money. It's nothing but a stunt to increase their status with in their "community"
I know it sounds cliche and cheesy, but they could give that money to worthy charities.

I would love to have that much money to throw away. If I could I'd eat gold, shit marble, and there would be a line of women for my taking trained only by other woemn in sexual favors and totally untouched by any other man. I would drive a car until it ran out of gas. I would eat only the best fresh caught food from all over the world. I would sin until they dragged me to hell!!! Yeah, baby, live it up you over spoiled lucky bastards!

Amen, Dustin.
I would have a woman for every day for the year. Yeah, that's right. Not just a woman for every day of the week, but EVERY day of the year.
I would buy 20 Ferraris. Not because I would need 20 Ferraris like I would need 365 women, but just so I could say I own 20 Ferraris.

I have noticed there seems to be a slight debate happening on here about whether Updown Court is a waste of money or not. I have to say, think about like this... if you had enough money to buy this house/mansion, there are two penthouse apartments in side along with many guest houses...why not rent out rooms or even start a hotel/lodge for honeymooners or just people wanting to go on a romantic trip. I think its logical... that way you're not really wasting your money at all and you're giving something back. Dont get me wrong...i would live in that house in a second. I'm putting change away already with my boyfriend and we're going to buy it one day :)... in our dreams. But thats not because i'm greedy, its because i think Updown Court is a piece of the finest art of our time. I LOVE UPDOWN COURT!!!

i live in house number one my father owns it. it really isnt that great. i do not want to sound spoiled but it isnt what you think. yes i have a huge house with everything possible but that doesnt make your life better. buying things cant fix your parents getting divorced, a family member dying, or you and just not being happy. what i am saying that you dont need this . are you kidding me?! i would rather live in a shack or a small house. just be like evryone. i feel like we are showing off how much we can afford . it isnt fair and it isnt right. to most people it is just somewhere to sleep and there right it is you dont need 5 swimming pool or heated and cooled everything or expensive clothes or cars.be happy with what you have.

Try to be that 1% group of people (own 96% of wealth in the world) rather than being the 99% mass group of the people who are fighting daily to try to get the only 4% of wealth.
How do we know that they are not giving money to poor or help? What riches give out may not let you know and the amount of it would be larger than you can image... “Abundant†is a good quality and position, wealth is not evil, just imagine you have $10,000.00 a day to spend, are you going to just give it away? How to help is more important, at same time respect what you have - even wealthy.
Do something about your own life and enable you to go out to help in BIG way not just being bitter, why expecting the riches to help but not you can do just a little in your life to change things including yourself.

I have heard that house prices in London are on the rise and that London was one of the most expensive cities in the world, but i didnt know that it was home to the most expensive house in the wolrd. Should it even be called a house? Maybe a mansion is more suitable. I think the houses to buy in Belgravia are more suitable, only £4,000,000!

Just imagine how much money Sheik Maktom have to bay every year as maintenance and insurance for this mansion , that he only spend few days in it every year.
On the other hand I don’t mind to work for him running the workers their for free. And give a room to live instead of paying me.

I think there should be a rule not to make such expensive houses because they consume so much of power, i mean its further adding to global warming.....i mean Sheikh Maktoum is paying money to accelerate global warming, either this house should be run as a hotel or should just be left as a museum but with much less power being used to run it i mean u don't really need all the 5 swimming pools and all the lights should not be kept on at all the time...............and that goes the same for Lakshmi N Mittal's house too........well it would be a different case if these houses were extremely energy efficient !!!!!!

brundiva wrote this on 2007-08-13 11:24:07
This comment is for "The GMAN", well guess that the two largest houses in Britain belong to non native because they have always been rich and are mega wealthy in their native country and now have decided to come and boost the British economy so that people like you can continue to suck the system dry by living on the dole forever. I think that you should say thank you to Sheikh Maktoum. And one more thing alot of people would spend their money foolishly but here are some business savvy people and alot of you guys are hating. Just chill ok and let these people do what they gotta to and as for global warming what about other places that burn light all night too, you know i don't think that you can blame these people for global warming. :)

All of you noble cause hippies are just trying to make yourselves feel better. Anyone that looks at that video had to search for the most expensive house in the world so it means you think its cool. Just admire the fact that there are people out there that have way cooler shit than you and deal with it you bastards. I hope that one day I can own a house that people like you will trash talk because I can masturbate to that shit.

I agree with most people 70 million dollars for a home? You could have all that for less... 1. Money is important for stuff other then stuff you own people desperately need it for food, 2. If you wanna go to the movies and the bowling alley thats only like $30.00 a visit or so and plus you get to socialize, 3. People shouldn't buy big houses for a reason that is obvious... You could fill it up it would be cool but not to have a big house with like room for 20 people that is too big screw that house tear it down or sell pieces for money I would brake in try to steal some marble and then sell it on ebay for $1,000,000 and get food for the poor and stuff so many things you could do with $70 million not even Bill gates could aford it he could barely aford it and he is the richest man on EARTH!!!!!!

I couldn't agree with you more, Lucynda!
I fail to believe that a building so big could be comfortable to live in. A house is meant to be a personal possession. I doubt the owners have stepped foot in every room more than once (if that)- how can that be personal?
Oh well, it is their money, as you said.

Hey Kingshah,
You're right, it is an investment. And in 10 years time the property value would have increased significantly.
However, these 2 guys are within the bracket of "the richest people in the world"
Earning £70m for them, in a duration of 10years is neither here nor there.

In fact the latter property was bought in the company name. Tax break around this - so it is considered a business investment and not a personal investment.

This is a truly gorgeous house to look at. Not too sure if I would want to live there though, as it doesn't look very homely inside. A home should be filled with love and laughter amongst other things, not just beautiful items! I definately would pitch a tent and live in that gorgeous garden if given the chance!

Don't sweat it guys.....the most expensive house is being built at the moment in Dubai I think and it will be 27-floor tower for the richest man in Dubai for him, his wife, mother and 3 kids. It will cost him only 1 BILLION dollars!!! read about it! I think they should phone each other in order to have lunch together, don't you think? :)
I mean you can surely be lost in that kinda house. He and his family are now living in a 14-floor house. Greetings from Bulgaria to ya all! Take care and if someone of you someday earns that kind of money, please give away a lot for charity!

Isn't anyone surprised how aesthetically unimpressive Updown Court looks like? It's full of expensive gadgets all right, but with that kind of money, couldn't you afford to decorate the place a bit more lavishly? Huge rooms, lots of huge rooms, lots of pools and electronic toys, but the overall look of the building is unbelievably bland. Where are the stucco ornaments, statues and other architectural details? It looks like some kind of luxury hotel for stupid rich people who are into golf.

Colleen...last month's electric bill was over 61000 pounds (that's about 125000 dollars). You are probably the envy of many readers here if you make that in 3 months.
That's just the electricity invoice---water, security, and many other utility and maintenance contracts make this a very costly home.

I have read through all of your comments, and I have to laugh! It's very obvious that the majority of you are English, and obviously just a little bit envious. Why do the English look down on success? While people like the Americans support success and encourage it, so strange! With regards to leaving money to charities, most of these billionaires do exactly that, they are great philanthropists as well, donating millions to charities, the media does not always tell you that because pictures of their assets sell more trashy magazines. It's really all relative, what one considers a fortune, someone else considers small change. But one thing is certain, next time you pass the gates of a house like these, instead of looking at it with distain and malice, perhaps look at it and think "I could have HAD that if I worked as hard, listened as much, and took advice from those that are better than me...just as the current owner DID".
I also notice that a lot of you like the word "pretentious", do you visit the NPG, and call it's exhibits this word? No of course you do not, do you visit places like Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle and comment the same? Of course you do not, because it is like I said before, all RELATIVE. Common ladies and gentleman, be happy for those who have more than you, and remember they too do a lot for humanity and charity, some of it unbeknown to anybody else, but I assure you, it happens more often than you think!

Its their money, I know, but for the love of god, you dont need a bowling alley in your house and a cinema, then what is the use of ever going out? And 5 pools?!?!?!?! That is just tooo much.

and second, with this house, i would turn it into an expensive resort, and with all the profits i would build another house just like it for my friends and i to live

ellis and the one that posted after you- you know, the one with the same brain span as you--the religion of Islam asks people to do what Musa has said that he would like to do, and I applaud him for his ability to think beyond his own personal gain and for the help of others less fortuante who would never be able to even dream of haing homes like these.
And on the contrary, Islam gives more solutions then problems. I ask you to sapare us all of the little knowlege of Islam you have and look at the picture as a whole. As well, when the Crusades did as the did, were these comments displayed about Christanity?
so in the end, pea brain ellis and dumber then ellis, please acutally think about what you are saying before devistating the human race with your considerable lack of knowledge on the subject and tiny comprehension ability.

Its a shame to see people having rooms which they will barely use will others are homeless sleeping in the cold streets or under the bridge. This is not about Christiany, or preaching but about humanity or rather having an heart. I believe that the owner is muslim. Sometimes I wonder when someone says he/she loves God yet they are not able to see that it is God they ignore in the streets each time their back on them. This house is a shame, shows heights of selfishness and individualism.

As the Son Jesus once said "you will always have the poor", so there is no use trying to eradicate poverty because it’s a fact of life and I know most of you spouting that rubbish would rather kill the poor if you had his money instead than giving it to them or them trying to take it from you and that’s always been the problem, people judge things from one viewpoint but act totally different in another. He has the money, he bought the house from the previous owner who had the money to own it and it will go on, just like you lot moaning about it. Forget the person who owns it and except it’s a beautifully crafted house built by good craftsmen and hence the price. Remember, if someone gives a million pound away from his/her wealth yet another gives 2 pound away and its all they have, then the person who gave the 2 pound gave the most from the little they had and the other gave much from the huge wealth they have. (The 2 pound won’t go far to supporting a cause but in terms of recognition the 2 pound goes a long way, before you judge AGAIN, ask yourself when the last time you gave with complete selflessness was?).

Thank you I have a life one that does not consists of chasing my desires and hurting or upsetting others to get them. That means free. Yes religion and religious behaviour does cause greater harm than good but to actually believe and have relationship with God is not religious. Would you say your relationship with your farther of mother is religious? I wouldn’t think so. That is what a Christian has and it changes you because you can’t be in the presence of God and remain self absorbed or consumed with the world any longer. Hard to comprehend but true. If you want to know more look at this blog describing the bad behaviour of so called religions associated with Christianity (church history). Please just have a look. I am not judging just commenting. Sorry if I offended you. The blog is http://collectivelyseeking.blogspot.com/ Have a look at the two posts on church history and it really helps you understand why religions do and did what they did.

There is no excuse for unnecessary luxury while others are dying in the streets of hunger. Surely this is common sense or rather having a heart. Money is vanity upon vanity anyway due to uncertainty of life, afterall when he dies he will go with nothing and will leave a big bank account. What if he used that money to enrich the people who are deprived?

Kate wrote this on 2009-08-03 10:39:56
Yes but the problem is, how do the rich help the poor? If you give money to a corrupt government they spend it on things they don't need rather than helping the people, and if you give it to the people themselves chances are they wouldn't know how to use it best to help themselves. Most of the time unless MEDC's go into LEDC's and sort the governments out or take over, no amount of money does them any good!It's all well and good to say how wrong it is for people to have money while others have none but it's probably because nobody realy knows what to do to help or where to start. Even if we give to charity we never really know where that money goes,we're just supposed to feel good about giving money to people who say they're going to help others, and we don't really know how it's helping anyone. To be fair, people who can afford to do give millions to charity every year, but do we ever see a difference or see less ads all over the TV telling us children are starving and dying? Doesn't seem like it to me.

The rich can help thru non-governmental organisations (NGO's). The money people give to charity makes a lot of difference, the difference could be relative! Some people get somewhere to call home after sleeping under bridges and streets all their life. Some get medical attention, its hard in ghetto man, sometimes its a matter of life and death. Corrupt govt is not an excuse to see your brother and sisters die while you lavish in luxury. Just to give some idea, the wealth of the top 20 people in the world can feed all of Africa for over 100 years!
187
Nick wrote this on 2009-08-03 19:17:28
With regards to charity and people and governments who don’t know how to manage helping the poor, well the problem is that governments for example, don't give enough. A government giving millions might sound like a lot but it’s only a fraction of what’s needed and a fraction of what they could give. If the American government cut just 1.5% from their defence budget, it would be enough to pay off Africa’s debts and feed everyone in that country for a year also supply pipes to carry water to every home. Mad isn’t it.

Kate wrote this on 2009-08-03 21:33:04

Its a shame really that people have to resort to spending money on things like this................ simply because they have nothing else to buy. But on the other hand, if they have earned this money fairly and not illegally, then who are we to judge?
With regards to Bill Gates and all of those other ladies and fella's that have made billions in their lives, if some of you took the time to actually read about them, you would see that they give millions to Charity, and some even have their own charities!
Its a sad world when people have to come on to webistes like this and slag off those who have worked honestly and hard, and have managed to find a niche in the market, that has enabled them to make this kind of money...
Fair play is all I can say - whilst I would love to have this kind of money, I unfortunately don't, so who am I to tell people what they can do with it or what they should do with it - I'm sure the Government and other organisations are already doing this for us!
As far as I am concerned regarding the houses, I don't need that kind of space for personal gain, but as an investment...... well I would definately not say no - I think the investment side of these buys will come to light when these people either sell the houses on, or turn them into a hotel or something along those lines...
I think the simple fact comes down to this - stop trying to focus on the assets of others, and try start focusing on your own, as these are the things that will make or break you in the future..................... not a self made million or billionaire.
Good luck to these guys and gals, and if this is what they want then so be it............ just like I want a 4 bedroom house on a hill with a nice view and a big garden, that both myself and future wife and kids can enjoy ( I can well imagine having something like that will even leave me open to criticism, even though I am far from being a millionaire and even futher from a billionaire :p, ha ha).

I personally would LOVE the chance to just get a look round Updown Court for the day, as it looks aboslutely amazing. And I'm sure that whoever actually owns it has worked bloody hard to make their money and deserves it.
However, I do think it'd be a little odd living there as it is so huge (not that I'd complain if I was given it!!) and you'd need millions more to furnish it. Plus all the running costs... So if you did buy it, you'd have to be mega rich.
To be honest, it's not an eye-sore and it looks more like a beautiful palace. Think if they'd downsized it a bit, it would be totally liveable. Plus..in Dubai they are constantly building amazingly huge and outlandish buildings, which add to the awe factor of the country. In fact, they should think of making this mansion a hotel. I can imagine it making a tonne of money!
This building sums up our english eccentricity and the modern need to come up with something bigger and better- which we should all be proud of!
Oooh also, just wanted to add that people can do whatever they want with their money. It's not for you or I to say that they should give their money to charity, or that they shouldn't buy a big house. There's always been rich people, there's always been millions starving. It's terrible, but that's the way it is, and no amount of money will change that. If you really want to do something useful, fly out to Africa and help build a hospital, as you don't even know exactly where your contribution goes.
Anyway, gorgeous house!
However, I do think it'd be a little odd living there as it is so huge (not that I'd complain if I was given it!!) and you'd need millions more to furnish it. Plus all the running costs... So if you did buy it, you'd have to be mega rich.
To be honest, it's not an eye-sore and it looks more like a beautiful palace. Think if they'd downsized it a bit, it would be totally liveable. Plus..in Dubai they are constantly building amazingly huge and outlandish buildings, which add to the awe factor of the country. In fact, they should think of making this mansion a hotel. I can imagine it making a tonne of money!
This building sums up our english eccentricity and the modern need to come up with something bigger and better- which we should all be proud of!
Oooh also, just wanted to add that people can do whatever they want with their money. It's not for you or I to say that they should give their money to charity, or that they shouldn't buy a big house. There's always been rich people, there's always been millions starving. It's terrible, but that's the way it is, and no amount of money will change that. If you really want to do something useful, fly out to Africa and help build a hospital, as you don't even know exactly where your contribution goes.
Anyway, gorgeous house!

Beautiful home i have to say!! And yes i am jealous but not going to slag them off....As i don't know whether they do support charities. I have to say look at other billionaires too they all have 10 properties over the world and 90 % of them are nearly as big as this or even bigger. You have to take account to the location too guys so its a beautiful home.
To people who are saying they rather live in smaller home think about it you live in one section of the home and when you want to go holiday with the family you them to another section of the home lol..money saving tip there ;)

I have been living in Kuwait for the past ten years, and have been to 'little weekend chalets' with 20 rooms and olympic sized pools, two people I know here each have over 200 motorcars, Sheikh Moh'd Al-Maktoum of Dubai also owns hundreds of race horses, Sheikh Talaal of Suadi Arabia owns the largest yacht in the world. There is oil here, 'black gold' and it keeps coming. Mr Mittal and Mr Tata of India are equally wealthy.
Karma, the will of God, luck, call it what you like, it is a fact of life. We all have our own ideas about the dispersement of wealth, but let them enjoy it. Money is to be spent.
Money can buy a watch, but it cannot buy time.
Money can but medicine, but it cannot buy health.
Money can buy friends, but it cannot but love.
and if you believe,
Money can't but a ticket to heaven.
Maybe we should just 'eat cake'

This house would be worth a lot more if it had a Harrison Reed kitchen! free advert there.
This house is absolutely fantastic and im sure sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum thought that too, hence he bought it with his well earned money.
As for all this giving to charity business i bet he has given a fortune to charity but certain charity donations get poured into a huge bottomless hole. Common sense is needed not money. Condoms are a good starting place. Dont carry water move closer to it........ only an observation from TV having never seen it first hand.
I feel a bit sorry for the sheikh, i bet he is bored shitless because he can do just about anything he wants every day of the week and just puts up with the boring rich life. Or i could be talking absolute crap and hes the happiest man in the world. We will never know.
What i do know is he can never sell this old shack because it will cost him a fortune, so if you are jealous then you can take comfort in the knowledge whatever this property is sold for the good old British will take HALF off him in tax. Is that fair?

happiness is a relative thing, you can live in a small house in a small village with small family, loving wife and kids and be the happiest human on earth. You don't have to own a big house to be happy, you don't have to have lots of money to be happy.
If I was in this Sheik shoes I will sell it all and give it to charity, i would promise to make sure poverty is history on this planet, that would make me the happiest person on earth in the entire human kind.
I feel sorry for those wishing to have such a house, they will never have it and they will never be happy.
You can have it all but at the end you will be in a small dusty grave and you leave it all behind.
If you want to live eternal life, where people always remember you and thank you, don't think of a big house but think of a big sacrifice for humans everywhere, anywhere, anytime.

In my humble experience, anyone who down talks other people's wealth or go on about 'how you could spend the money better, or 'it crazy to buy a house like that and its only money' and 'you can feed a country' - well, its usually because those people saying such things are trying to make excuses for not having the money themselves in the first place! Those people are usually under achievers and jealous... There seems to be a few commenting here!! I rest my case - Go forth and multiple is the phrase I'm looking for I think...

As a neighbour of Sheikh Mohammed (I live in Chertsey) I can fully appreciate his good taste of everything that is beautiful including his wife, not only that he looks like a friend of mine called Neil Bridge.
I have delivered flowers to his property in Chertsey and pass both his properties nearly every day of the week, so I can assure you that both properties are the best in the World by far.
As a close neighbour it is surely about time he introduced himself to me and my wife Frances and invited us to have a good look around Updown Court as we do have so much in common, and yes I also share his love for classic bred horses and would appreciate a few tips to help with my Army pension.
God Bless You Sheikh Mohammed and your entire family.

Ooooh some people are bitter about people with money and the fact that none british own these properties.......And???
Giving to charity isnt about telling everyone youre doing it. Give to give not to receive praise so for all we know they may give large amounts daily!!
Also just because someone has money does not automatically mean they must give it away!! If you have a bit of spare cash do you give it away?? Do you buy yourself little luxuries - new clothes - CDs etc that you dont NEED when theres people dying but we all do and shouldnt feel guilty about it either.
Everyone should do their bit of volunteering though.
Anyway good on them - i know if i was in their financial position i would be living the high life too - slight waste if the houses arnt going to be of use though - id do something with them!!
Oh and if they can afford to buy it i think they just might afford the maintenance too!!
I hope theyre using energy saving light bulbs in there hehe!!
Anyway good on them and their families too.
Who am i to judge them? i'll concentrate on my own life and hopefully ill be half as successful as them one day!!!!!

We work longer hours than usual people so we have a right to homes like this.But saying that some houses ( like this) are cleary over the top and just to show how rich people are.

A seperate building with a restaurant in, and ferrari's and Rolls for toys. I however drive a £4000 car and have a part time job, and go 2 uni. Not everyone handles money the same, and i think the people who have earned it should do as they wish. If they want to give 2 charity then they are very good people, if they dont then thats there perogative!

Hi everyone,
one of my uni friends dad is a filthy rich guy who owns 120 cargo ship in Asia along side with many other businesses. Few years ago my mate went back to home on summer holiday and he paid for my ticket and for 2other mate to join him till uni opens.. Oh my lord I knew they are filthy rich but didn't expect what we 3 people witnessed.. A palace that over comes any imagination..
It's based over 150 acres of land and the palace containing 38 bedrooms.. A horse stable to fit atleast 70 to 80 horses..
Dear friends the stair from the ground to he palace mainentance door was two many to count and all done by marble...
A garage should fit god knows how many cars.. It was filled by so many 4x4 u name the brands and they must of had or have it..
But I was suprised to find out how much it cost to build this house cos this house was build not long ago in 1993..
My mate told me it cost in uk money 25 million pound no more then that..
Only cos land was cheap as chips and rest of it follows with cheap Asian stuff but highly furnished..
Now comming to the topic of properties we all talking about it in uk..
U ain't paying for the palace u paying for the location and ur name. That's why it's expensive.. I can tell u the palace we been if that was in uk and te same place where property one is I'm pritty sure it's value will be somewhere 200 million easy cos u have 150 acres of land with it.. Just imagine u make a council estate on this ground and sell it how Many house u can built and how much u will make in total...
It all counts where te place is and value of the area plays a massive role..
Oh by the way my friend is from India and that's where the palace is...

It's all right for Bill Gates to earn a ton (and, fair's fair, give away huge amounts to charidee), but for some Asian bloke it's totally outragous?
There are people of all colours living in abject poverty all over the world. There are a minority of people of all races who've made a bundle of cash and are living the life of luxury. That's just how life is. Get over your stupid, narrow-minded, bigoted little selves.

Fools build houses and wise men live in them. Wealth belongs to the person who enjoys it and not to the one who keeps it. You can't eat more than what your stomach can take and none will take his properties with him when he dies. His soul to God, body to dust and property to relatives. When death comes, the rich man has no money and the poor man no debt- everyone needs only a 6-foot grave built in real mud. No marble floor. No air-conditioning. The average man's life is, after all, 50 or 60 years. So why wasting what God gives? Wealth, like Oxygen, belongs to the Creator. It is meant for the whole mankind and living beings. God doesn't send it to them like rain; but sends it through selected people. The selfish ones think that its their own. Alas!

Hi,
I thought that the most expensive home in the world was the LEOPOLD a villa with 8 hectares of gardens employing 50 gardners in the South of France at Villefranche- Sur Mer. A Russian magnate Michail Prokhov offered in late 2008 a sum of 489 million Euro to the current owner Madame Lily Safra.
Cheers

You don't know how much you can spend till the day you got the money. Probably when we dont have the access to those monetary desires, we start complaining and criticizing others´excentric wastes.

This thing was pubblished looooong ago and now the stats have changed and now updown court is like the 3'rd or 4'th most expensive house. Now the most expensive house is in Mumbai, India and Ambani owns and its worth a whopping $1000000000 (1 billion US dollars) almost 4 or 5 times more than updown court. If no one believes me then you must google it up

Lovely, yes, capitalism is brilliant, but I think the major issue here is how you guys regard women just as something you would "buy" more of if you were rich. No matter how much money you have (or don't have),it's equally pathetic...

Most of you are just a bunch of jealous pple. if you had a few billion dollars you would live in a £70m house maybe even more expensive. Put it this way if you earn £50k / yr you would buy a house worth around £250k. If you earn in excess of £100m a year is it not reasonable to buy a house that you can pay for cash with your yearly income without having to get a mortgage. life is too short you must enjoy without holding back. AND BEHIND EVERY SUCCESSFUL RICH PERSON IS A BUNCH OF HATERS......STOP HATTING.

the person who build that house made an investment, which later paid off, the person who bought it can make so much money from it, he can even use it as collateral to make more money. these guys are among the richest people in the world coz of there brains and a bit of luck. they know what they are doing, how are you honestly supposed to spend billions. u just have to get extravagant.

I dont think the debate here should be about where Mr Maktoom spends his money! He obviously gives alot to charities and its the thought that counts and i beleive it is ok for a man to live a luxurious life. I dont think anybody here should hate him. What i do know, is that NOBODY Needs to live in such a big house!!! I think its a little pathetic. But its not us to judge what floats other peoples boats. This house (or mansion) is gorgeous but I would Never want to live in a something that big. I dont think it would be very comfortable and homey for ME. In fact, i wouldnt even want to have that kinda money. God loves all, dont judge!!!!!

Yes, Jason you are absolutely right. That was the point I was trying to make. Nobody needs or could benefit from such a huge house. It is all the perception of the person who is experiencing the object, but, but, it is not the ownership that makes any difference. I could stay at the Burj al Arab hotel in Dubai and still enjoy the same thing for a night or two, if I wanted to pay the money, and have the same experience, but after a while it would become commonplace and just taken for granted...

1. If any of you bothered doing your research you'd find out that in fact they DO give massive sums of money to charity each year.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has been known for his vast charitable donations. On May 19, 2007, he announced plans to give $10bn USD to set up the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation, an educational foundation in the Middle East, one of the largest charitable donations in history.
After witnessing India win only one medal, bronze, in the 2000 Summer Olympics, and one medal, silver, at the 2004 Summer Olympics, Mittal decided to set up Mittal Champions Trust with US$9 million to support 10 Indian athletes with world-beating potential.In 2008 Mittal awarded Abhinav Bindra with Rs. 1.5 Crore, for getting India its first individual Olympic gold medal in shooting.
For Comic Relief 2007, he matched the money raised (~£1 million) on the celebrity special BBC programme, The Apprentice.
2. These people don't just sit around all day and money just comes to them, they obviously work hard and have been doing throughout their lives. People think that just because you're born into money you'll stay in money, but in fact these people work not only with huge amounts but with huge risk - it's much easier to lose money than to make money. So obviously they are working hard, and they should be allowed to enjoy their rewards how they want as long as it doesn't affect anyone else.
3. Why not buy a big house? When you're that rich and well known, it isn't possible to just pop out to the cinema or anything, so obviously these people are looking for a refuge not just a home.
4. Also this isn't just a home - it's an investment opportunity. If/when they decide to sell, with such unique properties they will be most likely looking at big profits, adding to their portfolios.
5. Who's to say they wouldn't be looking at this as the best inheritance they could leave for their children?
End of the day, it's their money, they made it and worked for it, they can enjoy it any way they wish to. So stop whining. Or go out and make a few billion first - and then whine. (Y)
