International Home Sale Sets Record: $128 Million, British Media Reports
RISMEDIA, April 13 - According to London’s Sunday Times, one of the world’s richest men has purchased a home near Kensington Palace, the former home of Princess Diana, for $128 million dollars, a price which the newspaper says sets a new record for the world’s most expensive home purchase.
London resident Lashmi Mittal, owner of one of the world’s biggest steel-making companies, and number 62 on Forbes magazine’s list of the richest people in the world, contracted to buy the 12-bedroom house from Formula One racing car baron Bernie Ecclestone.
The transaction sets a new international record, bumping a $101.6 million sale made in Hong Kong in 1997 to number two on the world’s list of priciest properties sold.
“The recent New York City sale of a 12,000 square foot penthouse in the new Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle for $42.5 million – the highest price ever paid for a New York City residence – pales by comparison,” says Laurie Moore-Moore, founder and president of The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing. “Mittal has paid more than three times what London-based financier David Martinez paid for his record-setting penthouse in New York City. However, Martinez bought raw, unfinished space and will most likely spend several millions more to finish his condominium with its unparalleled views of Central Park and the city.”
“New York also boasts what Forbe’s magazine reports is the most expensive personal residence currently on the market in the US,” says Moore-Moore. “The Hamptons is the setting for Three Ponds, which went on the market last summer for $75 million. The 65-acre estate has a 25,000 square foot main house, a golf course, 14 gardens and three ponds.”
According to Moore-Moore, “The luxury home market continues to be strong in most of the country. Over the last three years we’ve seen dollars flow out of the stock market and other investments and into residential real estate. This influx of dollars has fueled price appreciation and increasing numbers of luxury sales.”
“While some of the wealthy splurge on increasingly expensive residences, it is interesting to note that Warren Buffet’s primary residence in Omaha (NE) is the home he purchased in 1958 for $31,500. In his neighborhood of Happy Hollow, he’s the billionaire next door,” Moore adds.
