This is the first image of how the interior of London’s most expensive property will look.
The computer-generated picture visualises the £84 million Hyde Park penthouse, the most expensive flat in the world, upon completion in 2010.

Russian oligarchs, oil barons, Saudia princes and A-list stars are among those said to be buying the Candy brothers apartments.

Managed by brothers Christian and Nick’s development company Candy & Candy, the project features 80 flats designed by architect Richard Rogers with communal spas, squash courts and a private wine-tasting facility.  The most expensive penthouse apartments will feature bullet proof windows, purified air systems and “panic rooms” and everyone on site will have access to an underground passage leading to the nearby Mandarin Oriental hotel.

Half of the units have already been sold at an average of more than £20 million each with average per square-foot prices hitting £6,000 this year.

Fairmont Heritage Place, Ghirardelli Square offers all of the pleasures and rewards of owning a spectacular vacation home without the burdens of maintaining a traditional second home.  The primary reasons that make Fairmont Heritage Place best in class is the luxury, the exclusivity and the services and amenities provided are said to go far beyound anyones expetations.

Even more exclusive…Each year for as long as Fairmont Heritage Place owners own their Fairmont Heritage Place home, they  earn the privilege to become part of The President’s Circle, which is limited to invitation-only admission of the most important patrons worldwide of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts.

Owners of Fairmont Heritage Place, hold the key to Fairmont’s residenceclub of privacy and privilege, safety and security.  One of the critical differences between Fairmont Heritage Place and a hotel is the “key”.  Unlike a hotel where you return the key upon checkout, owners keep the key and return to their second homes with it, in addition to having a legacy to pass down from generation to generation.  The key is a symbolic gesture of ownership and a symbol of Fairmont’s exemplary hospitality to owners who hold the key to this oasis of privacy and privilege.

The chocolates are only available by pre-order, but you can pick them up at 12 South Main Street Norwalk, Connecticut.

Now that’s what I call expensive taste!

A 101.27-carat diamond, rated VVS1 (very very slightly imperfect 1st degree) for clarity is the size of a squash ball and the largest colorless stone to be auctioned in Asia, has fetched $6.2 million at a Christie’s sale in Hong Kong.

The diamond is the largest colorless diamond to appear at auction in 18 years and one of only three colorless diamonds of over 100-carats ever to be auctioned.

However, it has been suggested that demand for top stones may be waning due to a weakening world economy as a much-hyped 72.22 carat “D” flawless white diamond failed to sell at a Sotheby’s Hong Kong auction in April.
