Ukraine\u2019s richest man has set a record for property in Britain, spending $213 million on two London flats.<\/p>\n

The flats cover 2,323 square metres across three floors of a luxury development overlooking Hyde Park<\/a>, and have been bought by Rinat Akhmetov.<\/p>\n

The oligarch plans to combine them to make a penthouse<\/a>, including a further $93.6 million in interior improvements, according to the London Evening Standard.

Akhmetov, 44, controls the Ukraine\u2019s System Capital Management steel and coal empire and is worth around \u00a310billion.<\/p>\n

Though the three-storey apartment in the luxury One Hyde Park residential complex<\/a> was sold for 135.4 million pounds in 2007, the deal has only just been made public.<\/p>\n

One Hyde Park<\/a> has everything an oligarch could need, with cinema, pool, saunas and wine cellar.<\/p>\n

The building reportedly still has 30 units available and a one bedroom can reportedly set you back $10 million.<\/p>\n

London has become a playground for international businessmen and overseas investors looking for a safe-haven economy, leading to a boom in the prices of expensive homes.<\/p>\n

Prices have risen 30 per cent since the post-credit crunch low in March 2009, according to estate agent Knight Frank.<\/p>\n
