Kim Kardashian and Kanye West wedding location potential Chateau Louis XIV mansion sells for £200m

A mansion in France has become the world's most expensive home - after selling for a rumoured £200 million.

Chateau Louis XIV is a 50,000 sq/ft mega-home which Kim Kardashian browsed as a potential wedding location in 2013.

The palatial pad has ten bedroom suites, a grand reception room with a 52ft-high frescoed dome ceiling, a library, huge wine cellar, aquarium and a number of entertaining rooms.

It is the work of Saudi developer Emad Khashoggi who employed 200 people to spend three years building the Versaille-style home on the outskirts of Paris.

The mansion was completed in 2011.

Khashoggi's company, Cogemad, used 13 types of marble and 15,000 sheets of gold while it is thought there are 650ft of leather-embossed books on the shelves.

There are indoor and outdoor pools, a private cinema, two ballrooms and a nightclub. In the grounds of the 23-hectare estate is a 2km maze.

It is also incredible secure, with 40 state-of-the-art surveillance cameras which can be viewed from around the world via iPad as well as a high-tech alarm system.

The bumper sale is rumoured to have been sealed by Christie's International Realty, according to Bloomberg.

It is believed the secretive sale was for more than €275 million (£200 million), making it the most expensive home in the world.

The price trumps the £140 million paid for a penthouse in One Hyde Park last year. There are homes in London which are more valuable, but they have not been sold in recent years.
