黄金豪宅

香港恒丰金业的“金厕所”闻名中外,该公司再投资3亿港元共2.5吨黄金,打造了一个“瑞士号黄金皇宫”(又名“金屋藏娇”)。
“瑞士号黄金皇宫”设于恒丰金业土瓜湾总部,耗时5年建造。由于金价近年不断上升,若以现时市价计算,已值4亿元。



春宵一度要花20万港元   
恒丰金业高级经理黎佩谕透露,皇宫由2001年开始构思策划,动员集团内设计、生产、技术人员,总数多达300人。从构思、搜集资料到筛选素材,从制造模型至实物,从改建至完成,当中经历相当困难,不排除会申请世界吉尼斯纪录。


皇宫可提供予准新人作证婚场所和拍摄场地,并会提供金花球,务求制造一个难忘婚礼。如在此举行婚礼,费用由20万港元起。入场费则每人收取25港元,访客可选择购买自拍摄影胶卷和纪念品,林世荣预计3至5年可以回本。   
皇宫保险额高达3亿港元,每月需花费20万至30万港元,10多名保安严守皇宫。林世荣直言,如果特别节日需增加保安人员,加上设有24小时闭路电视严密监控。

World’s Most Expensive Streets (Residential)

Most Expensive phone number
The most expensive phone number 666 6666 reportedly sold for 10m Qatari riyals or £1.5m, or around $2,750,000 US. In the West some consider 6 the imperfect number, but this is apparently not the consensus in Qatar.
The Register reports that the Chinese number 8888 8888 was previously the most expensive phone number, selling for £270,000 to Sichuan Airlines.

5. Avenue Montaigne, Paris - $5,046 per square foot.
Site of the French capital’s most exclusive shops, Avenue Montaigne is one third of the “Golden Triangle,” along with Avenue Champs-Elysees and Avenue Georges V (Paris’ former most expensive street).

4. Kensington Palace Gardens, London - $7,196 per square foot.
Parallel to the royal family’s Kensington Palace, this street is capped at either end by an embassy—one Russian and one Israeli—which is perfect for any security conscious billionaire. Lakshmi Mittal, a steel magnate, is apparently one such billionaire. He owns two houses in Kensington Palace Gardens, one of them being the most expensive house ever sold when he purchased it at £57 million (US $111 million) in 2004.

3. Fifth Avenue, New York City - $7,500 per square foot.
The third most expensive street in the world runs from Washington Square to Harlem and divides Manhattan’s East/West streets. It is representative of New York’s upper crust, having been rated as the most expensive shopping street in the world. In 2005, press baron Rupert Murdoch purchased one of the Plaza Apartments attached to Plaza Hotel for $44 million.

2. Severn Road, Hong Kong - $11,200 per square foot.
Hong Kong’s most expensive street lies on the top of Hong Kong Island in the city’s most affluent district, The Peak. A $38 million apartment purchased by a Chinese businessman earned this street its place on the list. The street is named after a British colonial administrator, Claud Severn, who spent 1911-1925 as Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong.

1. Avenue Princess Grace, Monaco - $17,750 per square foot.
The world’s most expensive residential street was named after former Monacan princess and iconic black and white film actress Grace Kelly. Residents of Avenue Princess Grace can expect to meet Middle Eastern elites, Russian billionaires and members of the Monacan royal family. The price was set by a $41 million, four bedroom home.
