Since gaining independence from being a British colony, Asia has continued to be one of the most expensive cities in the world.

Here not only is the standard of living so much higher than many other areas of the world, but the limited space means that buildings must be constructed upwards and not outwards.

This has resulted in some apartments having the most spectacular views, and the most spectacular price tags. This apartment is valued at $56million or $9993 per square foot real estate.

While little is known about the apartment – realtors cannot even agree on the size – the building facilities include a ballroom, spa, and fitness centre as well as an outdoor swimming pool.
