Most expensive homes of billionaires

If you've got a spare few million lying around, these incredible places could be right up your street
It's true you don't get much for your money these days on the property market.
And, never more so in London's posh Mayfair.
This week, Britain's smallest £1million property went on the market.
The one- bedroom flat on Berkeley Street comes with a kitchen, bathroom and living room.
But there will be little space for furniture as it's smaller than a London underground tube carriage.
If you've got a little more cash to spare, why not take a look at some of the world's most expensive properties....
