Anonymous Middle Eastern Person Spends 300 Million To Buy This Insane Paris Chateau
Today, it was revealed that an anonymous Middle Eastern billionaire purchased a home on the outskirts of Paris. “Home” isn’t really an appropriate way to describe the house. It’s technically a Chateau. The purchase price? 275 million Euros. Also known as $301 million US dollars! That’s enough to make it the most expensive private home that anyone has ever bought. It’s not the most expensive home ever BUILT. That honor still belongs to Mukesh Ambani’s $1 billion, twenty-seven story skyscraper home “Antilla.” So what does this anonymous billionaire get for his or her $301 million? This chateau, which sits on 56 acres, includes a private aquarium, movie theater, massive wine cellar and a gold-plated fountain. If you’re assuming that this house has a long history of hosting parties with Kings, Queens, Counts and Barons… let me stop you right there. This property was actually built three years ago. But that doesn’t make it any less stunning!!! To see what we’re talking about, check out this video of the amazing property:
As we mentioned previously, this sale breaks the current record for the most expensive home ever sold. The previous record was $211 million – to buy a London penthouse. Brooklyn Nets owner, Mikhail Prokhorov, could have held this record from the time he flirted with spending $423 million to buy a villa in the South of France. Mikhail even went so far as to put down a 10% deposit to secure the deal. He eventually backed out, though, and later tried to get his deposit back. A French judge ruled against him in court and subsequently $40 million was flushed straight down the toilet.
