A London mansion believed to be adorned with millions of dollars worth of gold leaf decoration is on the market for a record asking price of $483 million.

The 60,000-square-foot home, once was owned by late Lebanon Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, contains 45 bedrooms, underground parking, a swimming pool and possibly bulletproof windows, according to the Telegraph.

Hariri’s mansion was given to late Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz in 2005.

Could any regular old, homegrown Brit begin to come close to owning something like this?

I dont think the Queen can sell that...

I would imagine Sir Richard Branson could own several of them if he so desired.

I would never go over 475 million for a home /sarc

He always has struck me as the more modest, down to earth, 1/4 of a billion dollar mansion guy...

Unless it came with an island

Most men would consider having a home life where you need 45 bedrooms to accommodate it, would probably lead them to kill themselves.

[luckymom]

It does come with an island, a really big one, in fact,you just have to share it with a whole lot of other people! ;o)

lol

I tried to talk my wife into buying it explaining she would only have to clean it once a week. For some reason, I have not been able to figure out, she nixed it.
