Mystery Buyer Pays $750 Million for World's Priciest Home

A mysterious Russian billionaire has trumped his big-spending rivals and broken a world record by splashing out $750 million on one of the most sumptuous villas on the French Riviera.

The price of the Villa Leopolda, a Belle Apoque mansion on the heights of Villefrance, has amazed estate agents but fuelled local worries that the invasion of Russian money on the Cote d'Azur is getting out of hand.

If I got ripped off to that extent, I'd want to remain anonymous too

I wouldn't say the buyer got "ripped off"! Value is dependent upon the type of property - and the individual buyer

Sorry, I don't buy realtor catch phrases. It was a joke nonetheless.

But seriously, a fool and his money are soon departed.

$750,000,000! What nonsense. It's a nice house, but it ain't all that - and only 20 acres to boot! Shoot, I would want half the doggone country for that.
