This is the most expensive house in the world

If you're talking about the crisis in the housing market and are surprised that a garage in Amsterdam is for sale for 700,000 euros, then you should google the most expensive houses in the world: they start at around 400 million. Buckingham Palace proudly tops the list with a value (the chance that this property will ever appear on the British Funda variant is, of course, negligible) of 2.6 billion euros. But then you have something.

1.  775 rooms
Of these, 188 are reserved for staff, there are 12 royal rooms and guest rooms, 19 state rooms, 92 offices, and 78 bathrooms. I found the latter a bit limited considering the number of bedrooms. Should the staff have to share showers?

2. The largest ballroom in the world
With a height of 13.5 meters, a length of 36.5 meters, and 18 meters wide, it is truly a ballroom where you can dance.

3. An ATM of its own
They have placed an ATM there. Quite convenient, because as a queen, you wouldn't want to stand in line among the plebs. I wonder if she has ever held a pound note in her hands, other than to admire the design, but that's beside the point.

4, There is a full-time clock winder employed
Buckingham Palace has 350 clocks and watches that all need to run perfectly on time.

5. 760 windows

6. 1514 doors

7. 40,000 light points

8. The palace can survive an earthquake of 8 on the Richter scale and has survived 9 bomb attacks from the Germans

9. It has 40 hectares of land
With that, Buckingham Palace has the largest ‘garden’ in London, which includes a lake, its own helipad, and of course, how British can one get, a tennis court.

10. Every summer, three summer parties are held at Buckingham Palace where 60,000 sandwiches are consumed.

11. Between 1838 and 1841, a small, mischievous British boy broke into Buckingham Palace three times. He climbed on the throne, stole bread from the kitchen, and even snatched a royal slip from the then Queen Victoria.

12. Actually, Buckingham Palace is a small village: there is a small hospital, a cinema, and a post office.

Do you want to take a closer look at it all? From July to September, the state rooms (the suites of very large rooms that the mansions of the wealthiest on earth had) are open for visits. The royal standard flag is flying (with four quadrants) and thus not the Union Jack, then The Queen herself is also there. Cozy!
