The sale of the magnificent Chateau Louis XIV mansion in the suburbs of Paris for \u20ac275 million has become a new world price record. It is worth noting that this amount was paid not for a historical mansion, but for a recently built castle, made according to the patterns of the Louis XIV era. The buyer from the Middle East wished to remain anonymous.<\/p>\n
The mansion is set on 56 acres (23 hectares), between Versailles and Marly-le-Roi. The house includes an aquarium, a cinema and a wine cellar, and the park features a fountain covered in gold leaf.<\/p>\n
The previous price record belonged to a penthouse in London \u2013 the transaction amounted to $221 million, completed in 2011. Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov was unable to beat this record \u2013 at one time he planned to buy a mansion in the south of France for \u20ac390 million (the famous Villa Leopolda), but abandoned the deal, losing 10% of the transaction amount under the terms of the agreement.<\/p>\n
