This stunner will just cost you just a cool $444 mill. 

The Paris chateau was built in honour of Louis the Great and has become the most expensive property ever sold after going for NZ$444 million. Located between Versailles and Marly-le-Roi on a 57 acre section, the Chateau Louis XIV may resemble a 17th Century estate but it was completed in 2011.

The sale price has eclipsed a London penthouse which previously held the record after selling for $NZ326 million. The chateau would be a pretty sweet party house as it features a ballroom, nightclub, wine cellar, squash court, home cinema and underwater room.

The property was even considered for a wedding venue for Kim Kardashian West and her husband Kanye West last year.

With the current average house price in Auckland sitting around $765,000, you could get around 580 homes for the price of the Paris chateau. Imagine telling people you own the most expensive house in the world, what a baller!
