Branson buys Sydney flat: report
August 18, 2004
BRITISH tycoon Richard Branson has reportedly paid a record $16 million for an apartment in Sydney's The Rocks area.
The Virgin founder is believed to have bought the luxury apartment in the Harry Seidler-designed Cove development, The Australian Financial Review reported today.
Forget about spending a penny - the apartment has five toilets costing $14,000 each.
According to the newspaper, the flat has a 12-seat dining floor that revolves every 30 minutes and is protected by fingerprint and retina-scan security.
The paper said the price exceeded the previous record paid for an Australian flat, achieved when Sydney radio broadcaster John Laws and his wife, Caroline, paid almost $15 million for an apartment at Woolloomooloo Wharf in May.

i reckon the unit would be facing north near the top!
