SOLD: Ukraine's richest man snaps up Britain's most expensive flat...for a whopping £136MILLION | Mail Online

Ukraine's richest man has snapped up Britain's most expensive flat in a recording-breaking purchase.

Rinat Akhmetov, 44, a self-made billionaire after investing in steel and coal mines, will soon have the keys to the priciest apartment in the One Hyde Park development in London's exclusive Knightsbridge - after forking out £136million.

But the penthouse, which has breathtaking views over Hyde Park and the London skyline, is unlikely to make a dent in Mr Akhmetov's reported £10billion fortune.

The coal miner's son and father-of-two bought two apartments and had them knocked into one - and now he is planning a £60million refit of the interior of the three-storey penthouse.
