Lev Leviev London home 70 MillionDiamond billionaire and Israeli businessman Lev Leviev has purchased the most expensive new home in Britain’s history for a reported 70 million dollars. With a $100,000 dollar bullet proof front door, this Palladian style home has all of the luxuries that one could imagine.

And for 70 million dollars it should. Leviev is moving to London to avoid the high taxation in Israel. He is reported to be worth 5.6 billion dollars.

The Palladian-style home also features a gym, sauna, ballroom and cinema, a private hair salon and a one-tone bathroom basin carved from a single piece of white Iranian onyx.

A London property agent who asked not to be named said $70 million was the highest ever paid for a new property in Britain. The most paid for any property is believed to be $128 million spent by steel billionaire Lakshmi Mittal for a London mansion.  via Haaretz
