Kylie Minogue bought her penthouse there in 2011, a shrewd investment if she wants to sell up.

What do they say? If you have to ask then you can't afford it.

Tbf, that is a typo - it's actually S$1,490,000 but agree very underwhelming for nearly £900k!

I imagine apartments like the $60m one appeal to super rich/famous people who want guaranteed security & privacy. But I don't suppose you end up saying 'hello' to your neighbours when putting the bins out or taking in Amazon parcels for each other.

If you are super rich/famous you are probably trying to avoid that sort of thing. It must be like living in a seriously posh hotel. Everything available with a quick call to the concierge, for a price.

Mind, if your numbers come up trumps on the euro millions you could buy that as your London pied-a-terre and still have plenty of money left for a country pile somewhere scenic.

Another thought, how do the gym and pool work? Do you get a set time or do you end up sweating on an exercise bike next to Mr Oil Baron from no.3?

If so then it is exactly like a hotel! The exercise equipment will be too close together and you will still risk getting a verruca in the changing room! The gym towels will start off fluffy but after multiple launderings will have the feel of sandpaper.

And I'm sure you'd get one elsewhere, but not there. Location 🤷🏻‍♀️

I work with a lot of Qataris, I have a few friends with apartments there which we use when we are back in the UK sometimes. Its lovely there, not so much the opulence but the central location and safety aspects. Places like this are just investment tools rather than homes, Hyde Park, Chelsea Barracks etc are all assets shicb work under Sharia principles. My company uses Mardarin Hyde Park which is also a lovely perk.

An oligarch probably.

Fuck that, it's vile.

For less than half that price, I'll have this Scottish castle, thanks: https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/136025999#/?channel=RES_BUY

It is yes

that's a crappy picture though, I don't like it but it looks much better in real life.

it's just somewhere for insanely wealthy people to keep money, that isn't a bank. Rumours abound of gold taps etc.

The calculator says the mortgage is £331, 000 per month. I can’t imagine a mortgage would be needed.

I know of new build apartments in London, that a Russian oligarch bought several of and combined them, so his mother could live there for a fortnight.

Its really a different world.

It looks dark and gloomy, nothing like a home should be. I don't know how anyone could be comfortable living there, even if they could afford it.
For that kind of money, there are much better options. The posh bits of London are massively over hyped.

Why are you pretending you don’t understand? Go for a no-name street in South London at least.

Those pictures are awful. Sack the estate agent.
No floorplan or pictures of the actual flat/apartment. Sack the estate agent.

For details of the leasehold, including the length of lease, annual service charge and ground rent, please contact the agent.
So that's three extra annual payments on top. Yikes.

But it does have a porter. Can't say I've ever had one of those before.

Wow 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. I’ll buy it for an HMO 😂
