The most expensive penthouses in the world: summary table

1. Sky Penthouse, Tour Odéon, Monaco: about $412 million (estimated)

Tour Odéon is a 49-storey tower in Monaco completed in 2015. Its top apartment covers about 3,300 square metres over five levels, roughly floors 45 to 49. Reports at launch described a rooftop pool and a water slide.

The developer first offered it for sale, but it was later leased to a tenant who has not been named, according to Monaco agency Petrini. Its estimated value of about €380 million has never been tested by a sale, so it should be read as a valuation, not a price.

2. 220 Central Park South, New York: $238 million

Hedge fund founder Ken Griffin bought a penthouse at 220 Central Park South in January 2019 for about $238 million. NBC News and other outlets reported it as the most expensive home ever sold in the United States, a record that still stands in October 2026.

The unit spans several floors near the top of the limestone tower, with views over Central Park. Griffin is the founder of the hedge fund Citadel, which moved its headquarters to Miami in 2022.

3. Super Penthouse, Raffles The Palm, Dubai: about $163 million (asking)

This penthouse sits at the top of the Raffles hotel on Palm Jumeirah. It is listed at Dh600 million, about $163 million, according to Engel and Völkers.

It is the highest asking price for a penthouse in Dubai. A sale at or near that figure would make it the most expensive home ever sold in the city.

4. Sky Mansion, Bugatti Residences, Dubai: about $150 million

Bugatti Residences is a branded tower in Business Bay, developed by Binghatti with the French car maker. Its Sky Mansion penthouse sold in 2025 for Dh550 million, about $150 million.

Engel and Völkers lists it as a record sale for Dubai. Completion of the building is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026, so the buyer bought before the home was finished.

5. Penthouse, Como Residences, Dubai: about $136 million

In November 2023, a five-bedroom penthouse at Como Residences on Palm Jumeirah sold for Dh500 million, about $136 million, according to Gulf News. At the time it was the most expensive home ever sold in Dubai.

The building is still under construction, with completion expected in the second half of 2027. The penthouse occupies the top of the tower, with views over the Palm and the Gulf.

6. Penthouse, Aman Residences Dubai: about $115 million

A six-bedroom penthouse at Aman Residences on Jumeirah Peninsula sold in March 2026 for Dh422 million, about $115 million. It is the most recent sale on this list.

Aman’s branded homes command high prices because of the hotel group’s service levels and limited supply. The deal shows that Dubai’s top-end market stayed active into 2026.

7. One57 penthouse, New York: about $100.5 million

In 2014, a buyer later identified as Michael Dell paid about $100.5 million for the duplex penthouse at One57 on West 57th Street. It was the first home in New York to sell for more than $100 million.

One57 was the first of the supertall towers on what is now called Billionaires’ Row, south of Central Park.

8. One57 penthouse, New York (Ackman): $91.5 million

A group led by investor Bill Ackman closed on another One57 penthouse in April 2015 for $91.5 million. At the time, 6sqft described it as the second most expensive condo sale ever in New York.

Ackman said at the time that he bought it as an investment and did not plan to live there full time.

9. PT 72, 111 West 57th Street, New York: $46.9 million

This triplex penthouse at 111 West 57th Street sold for $46.9 million in 2025. The tower is one of the thinnest skyscrapers in the world and incorporates the historic Steinway Hall at its base.

The sale was among the priciest penthouse deals in Manhattan in 2025, a year when the city’s top sale, at $82.5 million, also took place at 220 Central Park South. For full houses rather than apartments, see our list of the most expensive houses in the world.
