A six-bedroom penthouse at London's latest development One Hyde Park has just sold for a record breaking £140 million (the equivalent of $306 million NZD), making it the most expensive piece of real estate in the world in terms of current listings and sales. What does £140 million buy you? 24 hour room service, spas, squash courts, private wine tasting facilities, protection from security guards (who are SAS trained) and the UK elite special forces unit. And your neighbours will all be able to afford the minimum £20 million dollar starting point for apartments nearby.

At this point the identity of the buyer is under wraps, but there is speculation that it could belong to an oil sheikh. The spacious apartment spans two floors, boasts bullet-proof windows, a panic room and is of course, situated at one of the most prestigious addresses in London - One Hyde Park.
