World's most expensive home: $220 million penthouse

The $150 million price tag for Candy Spelling's 123-room megamansion has been surpassed by a six-bedroom property in London.Maybe space just 
isn't the commodity it used to be.

As Candy Spelling's $150 million megamansion in Bel Air, Calif., has languished for more than a year on the market, an unidentified buyer has snatched up what's believed to be the world's most expensive piece of residential real estate for about $220 million, and it's hardly the 123-room, 56,500-square-foot estate that Spelling lived in with her late TV-producer husband, Aaron Spelling.
No, the world's most expensive home is actually a six-bedroom penthouse in London that's not even finished yet, according to Luxist.

The penthouse is part of the posh, 86-unit One Hyde Park development, which is slated for completion in December and boasts prices starting at $30 million, Luxist says.
Meanwhile, America's most expensive recorded residential sale this year was for a sprawling, 3,500-acre ranch in Colorado that energy executive and billionaire Kelcy Warren bought for $46.5 million, nearly half off the original $88 million asking price.
