In this article, we will count down three of the most expensive and luxurious penthouse apartments to be found in the world today.

1. Odeon Penthouse, Monaco - $335 million

If you thought an apartment for sale in Dubai Marina was expensive then check out one of the most expensive places to live in the world, the Odeon Penthouse in Monaco.

This $335 million penthouse comes with 38,000sq feet of living space, has marble-covered kitchens on every level, comes with a caterer, a chauffeur, a 24/7 concierge service, as well as access to a private health club. 360-degree views of the Mediterranean are offered when you take the plunge down the water slide into the pool, which is situated on the balcony of the lower rooftop.

2. One Hyde Park, London, England - $225 million

The most expensive and luxury penthouse in England’s capital, this property comes with its own library, cinema and 21-metre swimming pool, and offers spectacular views of both Harrod’s department store and Hyde Park. If you think security might be an issue, the security guards who patrol the building 24/7 are all trained by the SAS.

3. Woolworth Tower, New York - $110 million

If you are looking for history as well as beauty, then this penthouse in the Woolworth Tower in New York could be a perfect fit. The tower was built in 1913 in a Gothic style, and even though it has been modernised, the building has lost none of its Gothic presence. Plus, when it was built it was the tallest building in the world.

In its present layout, condos occupy the first 30 floors, but it is the penthouse at the top that is the most valuable property in the building. Named the ‘Pinnacle Penthouse’ it has five floors and comes with its own private conservatory and is worth a cool $110 million.
