A bulletproof townhouse in New York

Inside, each floor is more spectacular than the last, with the top floor opening out to a private roof terrace showcasing incredible 360-degree views across the Manhattan skyline.
A sprawling Californian ranch
Rancho Latigo is set in more than 4,600 acres of rolling hills and has two separate residences on the grounds, plus there’s a helipad for guests looking for a fast arrival from Santa Barbara or Los Angeles.
As well as immaculately designed interiors, the estate features an 11-stall barn, tennis courts, a swimming pool and a gym.
An ultra-luxurious villa in Cannes
This super-luxe villa is carved into a hilltop in the exclusive La Californie neighbourhood in Cannes. The Balinese-style home showcases indoor-outdoor living at its finest, with a large covered courtyard – complete with a Koi carp pond and a waterfall – leading directly into the home’s main entrance hall.
The stunning master suite has a private sitting room, dressing room and several private terraces, plus there’s seven en-suite bedrooms, a gym, spa, wine cellar, dance studio and cinema room… so there’s no need to ever leave!
