it just gets crazier – house for $485 m

A hundred-million dollar NY apartment hit the news recently, but not it gets even crazier in London with the $485M (300 m pounds) price tag for a prime location mansion of the late prince of Saudi Arabia – which supposedly already have a shortlist of people ready to buy it too! I also like the location by Hyde Park in Knightsbridge, but I think I rather still have some countryside greenery around me than a public park.

Would you buy this house if you had the money? Admittedly it looks nice from the outside, but certainly like nothing extra-special that should warrant such a price tag…Then again, the house has 60 000 sq ft (nearly 5600 m2) and 45 bedrooms, so maybe someone is planning to turn it into a hotel, in which case the price tag might be more justified…?
