10. 6 Kensington Palace Gardens – $222 Million
Ah, Kensington Palace Garden, you never disappoint when it comes to lavish homes, sky-high prices, or interesting stores about the life of the rich and famous.
This time we’re at 6 Kensington Palace Gardens, in a lovely neo-Georgian home that used to be the Embassy of the Czech Republic and recently sold into private hands for a cool $222 million dollars. The house is four stories, with at least five bedroom suites (We’re told that there’s a least one that’s been lost to the ages and can now only be found on moonless nights), extensive servants’ quarters, and large, gated gardens surrounding. The most recent buyer bought the place as-is, which means fully furnished and including an extensive art collection. We get excited when hotels offer free WiFi, by contrast.
