The world's most expensive apartment sale has been 'consumated'... in London (of course). As The Evening Standard reports [2], an Eastern European buyer (has anyone seen Yanukoych recently?) is believed to have paid £140 million (~$235 million) for the 16,000 square feet apartment — more than 10 times the size of a typical London three-bedroom home — at the One Hyde Park [3] scheme near Harrods. This values the apartment at a 'mind-blowingly-desperate-to-launder-my-money-and-get-my-assets-away-from-potential-bank-freezes' $17,000 per square foot.
Ironically the price is a deal against the $295 million valuation that had been place on the apartment by appraisers.

Candelabra looks like Superman's home (hhmm, perhaps)

Kitchen looks a little narrow to us... (and no Sodastream)

No beanbags?
Well, yeah that's great but $200million?!
Well - we guess it's worth it if you like that kind of thing - at least it is a "hard asset."
