It's a £175 million penthouse in One Hyde Park with a £161k annual service charge. Main bedroom is 2,300 square feet (over 2.5x the size of the average London property from my quick Googling). Listing is here for those that want to feel simultaneously amazed and poor.

Apparently it's been on the market since 2021, never been sold (lol) and owned by the developer who happens to be Holly Valance's husband?!

Found it while down a mansion-scrolling rabbit hole, always a trip to see how the other half live.

  2. Amazing view, but god are these people tasteless. All the furniture, wall and floor decor look so gaudy imo. Like oh, I didn’t realise you guys were so rich until I saw this diamond-shaped-ashtray.

  3. You could have all the money in the world, yet you cannot buy classiness.

  4. Someone’s clearly squatting there, there’s an open bottle of bubbly on the terrace

  6. Yes, incredible how naff the decor is. Makes me appreciate Succession, where the characters were at least so notoriously wealthy they weren’t compelled to show it off with gaudiness.

  8. Careful if you are thinking of buying here ;-), there is a huge repair bill incoming

    Laing O’rourke have wound up one of their firms rather than foot the bill for the repairs

  10. Holly Valance’s husband – aka the treasurer of Reform UK. That well known at-one-with-the-ordinary-people political party who are all about having a pint down’t pub.

  13. Strange how outdated the phrase “how the other half live” is. The other 1%? The other fraction?

  14. Clearly these places go for a fortune, but the £161K annual service charge was a surprise. 3 grand a week?? Do you get your own team of servants??

  15. That price and no floorplan available? Bizarre – also 5 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms!? Is every other room a toilet?

  16. Think how quiet it’d be when literally none of your neighbours spend any time in the building.

  17. Is this one of the Candy’s apartments he recently listed on the Qatari one? Going to be long slog to sell that one probably. A Saudi recently took a huge haircut on a Regent’s Park place they were trying to flog for £250m and it was quite frankly much nicer than this.

  18. I can neither fathom having that much money nor spending that much on a property. How is it gonna be materially different from somewhere a 10th of the price? Other than the location, which is very nice but come onnnnnn.

  19. If you love checking out mega mansions and being both envious, and cringe’d out like I do, check out [Arvin Haddad](https://www.youtube.com/@ArvinHaddadOfficial) on YouTube. He’s a real estate agent/consultant in LA who reacts to videos of mega mansion tours and usually ends up dunking on them for how ridiculously poorly designed or ugly they are. Points out a lot of problematic things you’d likely never notice. It’s my guilty pleasure youtube channel.

  20. Looks a massive rip off to me. You could have a house in London for a couple of million or a mansion out of London. I feel like you could get a posh flat in London for £5m easy.

  22. 175 million to look like you live in an estate house built in 2014. That’s horrendous, I just had to look at the outdoor sitting area to know what the indoors looks like. Zero taste, an obvious money laundering scheme for Reform UK

  23. Feel like people with 175 million spare could get a much better property than this, you could probably buy a huge stately home for that.

    Or you could buy multiple excellent properties in London and other cities. Seems incredibly overpriced for an apartment! 

  24. I did put in an offer for 174,000,000 and 95p but it was refused so I thought sod you then, if you are going to be greedy you are not having my hard earned money.

  25. Reddit has 365m weekly users. If only 50% of you send me £1 then I’ll buy it.

    Your contribution puts you onto a waiting list to use the property for a weekend.

    Invest in me now. Better money spent than Omaze raffle

  27. Yep. One Hyde Park is the development that killed London. As soon as these sold, every developer realised they can sell places in Central London for whatever they want to international buyers. It then trickled down and everyone had to move further out and further out.
