This could be the dream home for Chelsea Football Club’s Russian billionaire owner, Roman Abramovic in London, or another mansion to add to his collection.

London’s Updown Court in Windlesham, Surrey, looks set to be the most expensive property in UK’s real estate market with a price tag of more than £85 million (or upwards of US$160 million).

According to the estate’s developer, Leslie Allen-Vercoe, Updown Court is specially built for and targeted at the billionaire market.

The 40,000 sq ft mansion triumphs that of both Hampton Court Palace or Buckingham Palace, and to give you an idea of the opulence, there are more than 100 rooms, five swimming pools (including a roof-top infinity pool and two indoor pools), a garage with room for eight limos, gold-leaf tiled mosaic floors in the study.

There’s even a 50-seat cinema with private bar, a two-lane bowling alley, a snooker room, squash court, sauna, beauty salon, and a banquet hall with two powder rooms.

It’s not difficult to imagine this palatial residence becoming the summer getaway for Chelsea’s millionaire footballers as a reward from Abramovic, provided a certain Mr Donald Trump hasn’t beaten the Russian to this property.
