The arched cathedral windows offer 360-degree views of Manhattan, Central Park and the Hudson and East Rivers – the penthouse also opens onto 4 terraces on each corner of the building.


One Hyde Park – London, UK
This 1,600sqm duplex penthouse is the most expensive residence ever sold in Britain. Designed specifically for its owners by Candy & Candy, the extravagant unit offers the most tranquil Hyde Park views and all the amenities and services from the neighboring Mandarin Oriental hotel, including the spa. Security in the building is paramount: there are panic rooms, bulletproof glass, and guards trained by British Special Forces to protect the happy few calling One Hyde Park home.


Tour Odeon – Monaco
Sky Penthouse is rumored to be the most expensive condo in the world. 3,250 sqm, 3 staff bedrooms, 24-hour concierge service, a caterer, private chauffeur: its features are jaw dropping. However, nothing comes close to the infinity pool, accessible by a water-slide extending from the private dance floor. Perched between the 45th and 49th floors, there is hope to keep the unobstructed sea view for a while – and that’s far from being a given in Monaco’s booming real estate market.
