British Billionaire Sir James Dyson Drops HK$423.5 Million on Singapore Penthouse
There must be some serious money in vacuum cleaners and hair dryers because Sir James Dyson, founder of one the worldâs most well-known eponymous brands, just spent a jaw-dropping US$54.2 million (approx. HK$423.5 million) on a massive penthouse in one of Singaporeâs tallest buildings.

And if thatâs not enough to make you gasp, hereâs another nugget: The British billionaire actually saved a huge amount of money in the deal, since the apartment was listed for almost twice the amount at US$80 million (approx. HK$625 million) -- said to be the most expensive in Singapore. What's more, since Dyson has permanent residence status there, he is not required to pay the high property taxes that most other foreigners purchasing property in Singapore would have needed to.
âMost expensiveâ is, however, not the penthouseâs only claim to fame; it is also the highest. Set within the exclusively luxurious Wallich Residence, which occupies the 39th to 64th floors of the sky-high Guoco Tower, the three-storey apartment is spread across the top 62nd to 64th floors. Sitting at almost 1,000 feet above sea level, it offers breathtaking views over the cityâs vast skyline and the glittering blue waters of Marina Bay.

Inside the expansive, 21,100-square-foot penthouse are five lavishly appointed bedrooms, six bathrooms, three half-baths, a pool, sky deck, Jacuzzi and a barbecue pit. And as if that werenât enough, thereâs even a 600-bottle wine cellar.
The exquisite marble flooring adds a touch of refined opulence. But itâs the floor-to-ceiling windows, in almost every room in the triplex apartment, that truly catch oneâs attention as they present a sense of unadulterated openness, not only to the city below but also the skies above. One can only imagine the shimmering beauty of millions of stars at night as seen from such a vantage point.

While the stupendous sum for the apartment may seem exorbitant for some, for Dyson it's certainly manageable. After all, his net worth currently stands at US$12.6 billion (approx. HK$98.4 billion), as per the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, making him the 109th richest person on the planet. In 2018, after his company took in revenues of an astounding $1.4 billion (HK$11 billion), he was named the richest person in Britain, too. Which brings the famous phrase to mind: "If you have it, spend it!"
