One Hyde Park – Most Expensive Residence In The World

At £136million, One Hyde Park has broken records and has confirmed that the top end of the property market is booming.

Rinat Akhmetov is now the proud owner of this super luxury development in London’s exclusive Knightsbridge. The coal miner’s son bought two apartments and swiftly made them into one. Now, Rinat Akhmetov has submitted plans for a £60million refit of the interior of One Hyde Park.

This is small potatoes to Rinat Akhmetov, who is reportedly valued at £10billion!

The three-storey penthouse has breathtaking views over Hyde Park and the London skyline. At £6,000 per square foot, One Hyde Park has some very impressive selling points!.

Security is paramount, One Hyde Park is like Fort Knox; Iris-recognition systems in the lifts, bullet proof glass and panic rooms.

Interior design is simply on another level; Vast quantities of European oak and 15 different types of marble are used throughout.

Entertainment is also staggering; a 21m swimming pool, saunas, a gym, cinema, wine cellar, golf simulator – You just wouldn`t want to leave!

I forgot, how about concierge and room service from the neighbours? The Mandarin Oriental provides both!

For me, the absolute icing on the cake is an underground passage to a Heston Blumenthal restaurant.

That`s what you get for £136million. On reflection of all these perks, seems a great deal!

The previous most expensive flat was valued at £115million in a rival Central London development at St James`s Square in 2008.
