Yours for £980million: The world's 10 most expensive homes

 If you've got a spare few million lying around, these incredible places could be right up your street



It's true you don't get much for your money these days on the property market.
And, never more so in London's posh Mayfair.
This week, Britain's smallest £1million property went on the market.
The one- bedroom flat on Berkeley Street comes with a kitchen, bathroom and living room.
But there will be little space for furniture as it's smaller than a London underground tube carriage.
If you've got a little more cash to spare, why not take a look at some of the world's most expensive properties....

Price tag: £609m
The world's first $1billion home features 27 floors and takes it's name from the mythical island, Antillia. Built by India's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, it even has several floating gardens, not one but three helipads and six floors dedicated to parking.




Villa Leapolda - Cote D'Azure, France

Price tag: £457m
This palace on the French Riviera has more bathrooms than it does bedrooms and is rumoured to have once belonged to Microsoft mogul, Bill Gates.
