Buckingham Palace, the iconic residence of the British monarch, has officially been declared the most expensive home ever made in the world. Nestled in the heart of London, the palace is not only a symbol of the British monarchy but also a marvel of architectural grandeur and historical significance.
With a staggering estimated value of over ₹46,000 crore (approximately $5.5 billion USD), Buckingham Palace surpasses every luxury mansion, palace, or estate across the globe in terms of both monetary value and scale.
- 775 rooms, including 52 royal and guest bedrooms, 92 offices, and 19 state rooms
- 78 bathrooms
- 1,500 doors and 760 windows
- Occupies over 828,000 square feet of living space
- Has its own cinema, swimming pool, post office, doctor’s clinic, and police station
Originally acquired in 1761 by King George III for Queen Charlotte, Buckingham Palace has since been expanded and transformed into one of the most recognized landmarks in the world. It serves as the official residence of the British monarch in London and is a focal point for royal ceremonies, state banquets, and public celebrations.
Despite its regal function, the palace is also a fully operational administrative headquarters of the monarchy, employing hundreds of staff.
Property analysts have valued the palace using metrics like location, historic relevance, real estate size, and modern replacement costs. No private home comes close in comparison — with France’s Château Louis XIV and India’s Antilia valued at a fraction of Buckingham Palace’s worth.
Though it is not for sale, if it were ever listed on the market, real estate experts believe it would set unprecedented global records, not just for price, but also for the complexity and rarity of such a transaction.
Buckingham Palace remains a symbol of legacy, tradition, and architectural brilliance, blending royalty with real estate in a way no other property in the world can rival.
