Marketing agents Savills and Hamptons International described Updown Court as
"the most important private residence to be built in England since the 19th
Century". Forbes said the home was "totally over the top". It was built in 2000 on the site of an earlier property owned during the 1970s
by His Highness Prince Sami Gayed of Egypt. Forbes said neighbours included the Queen at Windsor Castle and Sir Elton John.
Updown Court was said to be $50m (£28m) more expensive than the priciest
American residence on the list. |
