The five most expensive apartments in the world

When the United States was going through the era of the "roaring twenties", in New York, with a slight movement of thought, the idea arose that life on the very top floor of a skyscraper was an indispensable attribute of success.

And for almost 100 years now, such apartments around the world have been not only synonymous with unlimited security, but also the most expensive apartments you can imagine. The largest of the penthouses can cover hundreds or even thousands of square meters, have private elevators, terraces and even their own rooftop pools. Such housing is ready to easily compete with houses and mansions in terms of its cost, and in terms of comfort and possible amenities, it will easily give odds to any five-star hotel. Prices are also appropriate - such apartments can cost their owners hundreds of millions of dollars.

We found the five most expensive apartments in the world and looked at how they are ready to surprise their buyers and how much you have to pay for them.

1. One57 Penthouse

City: New York Price: $100.5 million

The One57 skyscraper is one of the most fashionable projects in Manhattan, and therefore where, if not here, is the most expensive of the already purchased penthouses in New York, which at the end of December 2014 was bought by a stranger as a gift.

2. This mysterious figure now has two floors of living space with a total area of more than 1000 square meters, where, in addition to six bedrooms and a phenomenal view of Central Park, there is a living room for noisy receptions 17 meters wide, as well as a glazed garden and a swimming pool where you can relax from the noise of the city.

3 City Spire Penthouse

City: New York Price: $100 million

This penthouse occupied the whole three last floors of all seventy-five. If you were the owner, you would have your own elevator at your service, taking you up to six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a dining room with 20 seats, a conference room, a media center and even a gallery - not bad for 475 square meters, right?

4. But this is only the 73rd and 74th floors, while the last one is exclusively your private space. Also at the disposal of the owner is a whole floor of additional staff and a wine cellar for 1000 bottles.

5. Pierre Hotel Penthouse

City: New York Price: $125 million

The modesty of the facade of this hotel is very deceptive - its penthouse is simply immersed in luxury. You will understand this as soon as a private elevator will carry you through 38 floors and drop you off at the 39th. As with the CitySpire penthouse, the Pierre Hotel's three-story penthouse combines modern design with the hallmarks of luxury that the entire hotel has retained since the 1930s.

6. Agree, such a price is justified when you have 16 bedrooms, six bathrooms, four kitchens and four fireplaces - sitting in front of any of them in an armchair, you can feel like a real aristocrat. If you still feel like the game isn't worth the candle, it's only because you haven't heard of the Swedish Sauna and the breathtaking panorama of Central Park, the Hudson and the East River.

7. One Hyde Park Penthouse

City: London Price: $200 million

The championship of New York in terms of the number of penthouses is undeniable, but in search of the most expensive luxury housing, we go to another metropolis - London. The One Hyde Park residence includes not one, but four skyscrapers, each of which is crowned with its twin penthouse. The conditions in each are typical: almost 1600 square meters with five bedrooms, two offices, a gym and round-the-clock servants.

8. Options in the form of a personal underground route to the Heston Blumental restaurant and wine tasting room are taken for granted. Having all this, you want to feel safe, and the British special forces from the Special Air Service in general and bulletproof glass in particular are more than able to provide that.

9 Sky Penthouse

City: Monaco Price: $387 million

If you own the keys to this penthouse, you are automatically mistaken for a person related to the royal family or multinational business - representatives of both are observed in Monaco in abundance. Almost 400 million dollars is not just the most expensive apartment, but in principle one of the most expensive real estate in the world. From the window you will have vivid views of Larvotto Beach, the Ligurian Sea (on the shores of which, presumably, your yacht is standing) and Monaco itself - all in full view. Also in the penthouse there are six bedrooms with balconies overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

10. Now look up at the rooftop and shudder - it's the waves of adrenaline that swept you at the mere thought of how you are moving down the hill into this huge transparent - almost invisible - pool! But there always comes a time when it's time to remember that you own 3,000 square meters of marble, bronze and wood housing, where you hold your next party - more by inertia than for pleasure. But what to do - such are the everyday life of a celestial.
