Guess who owns world's most expensive apartments? Nigeria's own Mrs. Folusho Alakija, naturally! Multimillionaires of London's One Hyde Park revealed for the first time Many owners at One Hyde Park have been revealed for the first time Owners include oil merchant Mrs Foluso Alakija, singers and Middle Eastern sheikhs. Property in the block is sold for as much as £6,000 per square foot. It is a central London apartment block with a price tag that only the world's richest can afford to pay. But owners of the lavish apartments at the Candy & Candy development One Hyde Park are notoriously shy about revealing their identities. Now a six-month investigation has revealed that oil baronesses, Mrs.Foluso Alakija, singers and Arab sheikhs are all members of the small and exclusive club of owners. One Hyde Park apartments are owned by a roll call of the some of the world's richest people such as Naomi Campbell's boyfriend Vladislav Doronin who is reported to own an apartment there, along with the Prime Minister of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, who has a £12million property there The exclusive residential glass tower in Knightsbridge developed by property tycoons Christian and Nick Candy is believed to be the most expensive apartment block in the world. The list reveals a diverse selection of the world's richest people including billionaires, the investigation by Vanity Fair has shown. THE RICHEST OWNERS OF EXCLUSIVE ONE HYDE PARK Rinat Akhmetov , Ukraine's richest man - estimated worth £143.8m Folorunsho Alakija , Nigerian oil tycoon - estimated worth £81.9m Sheikh Hamad bin Jasmin bin Jabr Al Thani - estimated worth £40.4m Irina and Viktor Kharitonin , Russian pharmaceuticals, - estimated worth £33.1m Professor Wong Wen Young , Taiwanese entrepreneur - estimated worth £29.1m Other apartment owners are Rinat Akhmetov, Ukraine's richest man, Kazakh singer Anar Aitzhanova and Sheikh Mohammed Saud Sultan al- Qasimi, a member of the ruling family of the Gulf emirate Sharjah, The Sunday Times reported. Naomi Campbell's boyfriend Vladislav Doronin is reported to own an apartment there as well, although the supermodel is not believed to share the property. The properties, which have magnificent panoramic views of Hyde Park and Knightsbridge enjoy some of the city's finest views from picture windows running the length of the property. The apartment block may have the most eye-watering price tags, but the property has been branded a 'ghost town' in the past. According to the investigation by tax haven expert Nicholas Shaxton, just 17 of the 76 sold apartments are primary residences. Many of the owners use offshore companies to hide their identity. According to The Sunday Times, five properties worth £81million are owned by companies on the Isle of Man. See how the other half live with a tour of a One Hyde Park... Owners: Oil baroness Folorunsho Alakija, is believed to own five apartments in the block and Kazakh singer Anar Aitzhanova also has a property at One Hyde Park Million pound view: The flats at One Hyde Park that are sold for up to £5,000 per sq ft boast stunning views Expensive: Because the residents are so wealthy, many have other homes and do not use their exclusive address as their permanent home, it has been reported. Many of the features of the block – iris recognition in the lifts, panic rooms, bomb-proof windows, all mail being X-rayed. It has a 21-metre swimming pool which is said to be nearly always empty, a cinema, saunas, gym, golf simulator, wine cellar, valet service and room service. |
