The most expensive house on the market in South Africa – or at least publicly listed for sale – is usually somewhere between R100 and R150 million.
It’s all about location, I guess, and if you want to spend roughly 23 times that amount, you can snap up Britain’s most expensive apartment, a penthouse that overlooks London’s Hyde Park.
You can even cover the £175 million (around R3,5 billion) with Bitcoin, as 48-year-old developer Nick Candy says he is looking to cash in on increased demand for London’s most exclusive homes.
The property, which is 18 times larger than the average UK home, has a media room, private spa, cocktail bar, two terraces, four car parking spaces and a wine room that can hold 750 bottles.

Podcast platform Audioboom has booked its first ever profit for the first quarter after cashing in on continued growth in on-demand audio.

Audioboom, which hosts and distributes podcasts including No Such Thing As A Fish and Sue Perkins: An Hour Or So With, has benefited from strong demand for the format.
