The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia who recently paid £300million to acquire Premier League club Newcastle United has splashed £230million on the stunning 50,000 sq ft French chateau, SunSport reports.
American model Kim Kardashian had at a time considered the exquisite facility for her wedding with Kanye West before it was bought by the prince. Chateau Louis XIV is modelled on 17th-century French castles, but was built between 2008-11 in Louveciennes, near Versailles.
The billionaire who had failed in 2015 in his bid to acquire Manchester United actually did not want the public to know about it.
He had used shell companies in Luxembourg and France to conceal his ownership of the property.
It was gathered that the property was developed by Emad Khashoggi, the nephew of billionaire arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi.
Emad demolished the original design and rebuilt it with top notch facilities including hi-tech fountains, lights, sound systems and air conditioning are all controlled by iPhone.
Amazingly, the most stunning feature of the Chateau is the meditation room, or chilling room inside the castle's moat.
There's also an underwater chamber which is transparent with state of the art sturgeon and koi swimming around.
It also has indoor and outdoor pools, a private cinema, a squash court, two ballrooms, and a nightclub.
