12 Photos of the Stunning $300 Million Chateau Louis XIV

Think you’ve seen the most expensive home on the planet? Well, think again, because the record books have been rewritten! Recently, the Chateau Louis XIV found its way onto the market, and it didn’t stay there for long, fetching a record breaking $301 million. We wish that we could tell you who laid out that much cash for this property, but the buyer has chosen to remain anonymous. All that’s known is that he is a very rich man from the Middle East!

Likewise, and as you might expect with such a luxurious home, little is known about its interior. That said, there are some details of the property that have leaked out during its sale process. We’re going to share those details with you, as we embark on a quick tour of the most expensive home in the entire world! While you can’t see everything, you’ll be able to tell from the level of attention paid to the detail of the home’s exterior, its grounds and main living areas, that it’s worth almost every penny that was spent for it!

So, come how see the rich can live! Let’s take a look at the most expensive home on the planet.
