This penthouse has 38,000 square feet of space and has 5 whole levels! The most impressive feature is definitely the water slide which extends from the dance floor, right into the infinity pool below. The apartment will come with a chef, chauffeur, a 24 hour concierge and access to a health club.

One Hyde Park

The top apartment in this Hyde Park development sold in 2010 for a cool £140 million.

The development features SAS trained security guards and a tunnel to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, where room service is provided by a celebrity chef. Car-maker McLaren is also said to feature a car showroom on the ground floor.

Closely situated to the apartment block are shops like Harrods and Harvey Nichols.

Security also includes bullet proof glass, a panic room and an air purifier to stop any poison gas attacks.

One57 Apartments, New York City

This luxury apartment block sits above the five-star Park Hyatt New York. Each apartment comes fully furnished and provides stunning views overlooking the New York skyline and Central Park.

Daily housekeeping can be provided as well as in-residence dining from the ground floor hotel.

Luxury apartments in this building have sold for over $90 million. The very top floors have sold for undisclosed amounts. For this reason the apartment block has been named as the “Billionaire Building”.

432 Park Avenue, New York City

432 Park Avenue is the tallest residential apartment block in the Western Hemisphere. At 1396 feet, it is actually taller than the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building.
