I just read A £32m Super Prime home enters London market at Thames City, Nine Elms from Luxury Lifestyle Magazine, and wow—if you’ve ever wondered what £32 million can buy in London, prepare to have your jaw thoroughly dropped.

The Grand Duplex at N6 Thames City isn’t just a home—it’s a five-bedroom, 8,030 sq. ft. statement of elegance, complete with its own gym, private lift, and a 1,356 sq. ft. terrace offering uninterrupted views of the Thames, the London Eye, and the Houses of Parliament.

Designed by HBA Residential, this riverside gem is wrapped in handmade finishes, layered with vintage one-off pieces, and topped off with concierge perks that rival the city’s top hotels.

Key Takeaways:

• 🏙️ Entire floors for every residence. Each of the 17 homes occupies its own floor in the 19-storey tower—no shared walls, just skyline.

• 🛁 A master suite that’s a palace. The 1,908 sq. ft. principal bedroom has its own dining room, spa bath, private study, and dressing room.

• ✨ Chandelier mimics flowing water. A bespoke staircase is lit by 3D lighting designed to resemble the movement of water.

• 🛎️ Concierge services rival five-star hotels. From private chefs to in-home beauty treatments, it’s white-glove luxury on speed dial.

I just read Most expensive megayacht boasts pool, cinema, winter garden & helipad on Supercar Blondie, and let's just say: billionaires officially have better vacations than the rest of us.

Meet Ahpo — a 115-meter floating palace built by Lürssen and designed by Nuvolari Lenard. Winner of the 2023 'Yacht of the Year' award, it’s a $360M marvel that sleeps 16 and rolls with a 39-person crew. Think cinema, spa, gym, winter garden, beach club, and — because of course — a helipad.

Want to take it for a spin? It'll cost you nearly $3 million to charter Ahpo around the Mediterranean. Plus expenses.

Key Takeaways:

• 🛏️ 16 guests, 8 staterooms, 39 crew. Features a master suite, two VIPs, and four doubles for ultra-luxe sleep at sea.

• 🍿 12-seat movie theater & spa. From beauty room treatments to onboard cinema nights, it’s indulgence on a cinematic scale.

• 🚁 Helipad + toy garage. Includes 4 jet skis, 5 paddleboards, scuba gear, and a 39-ft limo tender — even James Bond would be impressed.

• 💸 $2.8M charter cost (plus). For one trip, you could buy a house — or just vacation like royalty on the Ahpo.

Key Takeaways:

One last thing

In a world moving at full speed, these pieces are a reminder: real luxury isn’t just about what you own—it’s about how you live.

Whether you’re building a legacy, refining your personal brand, or dreaming about your next chapter, lifestyle choices reflect values. When you lead with intention and invest in what elevates you—your space, your style, your story—the rest tends to follow.
