Mansion That Featured In James Bond Movies Goes On Sale For $93.5 Million

In one of the largest ever country property deals in the UK, business mogul Mike Jatania is looking to sell a 13-bedroom, Grade-I listed mansion just west of London.

The James Bond movies Live and Let Die and The Man with the Golden Gun both included scenes from this majestic house.

According to The Guardian, the name of the property is Denham Place, which is set in 17 hectares (43 acres) of Buckinghamshire parkland designed by the 18th-century landscape architect Lancelot "Capability" Brown.

The sale of this property will take place next week through Knight Frank, Savills, and Beauchamp Estates for the price of 75 million pounds ($93.5 million).

The owner of the mansion is multimillionaire cosmetics tycoon Mike Jatania.

The real estate company Rightmove describes the property on its website as "a mansion built in 1688-1701," which is an exceptional residence that has been fully restored, and short of acquiring one of the Crown Estate Royal Palaces, there is nothing of this grandeur or provenance so close to Central London.

The restoration was led by acclaimed designer and award-winning architect Alexander Kravetz, who worked alongside English Heritage and The Georgian Group for historic accuracy.

The grand 28,525 sq. ft. manor house, built in classic William and Mary architectural style, provides a private palace with state room-style principal entertaining spaces. The estate has a Grade II-listed coach house, estate cottages, ancillary buildings, and substantial garaging for vehicles (all totaling 11,199 sq. ft.).

Notable former residents of this home have included the Bonaparte Imperial family, American banker JP Morgan, politician and movie financier Lord Robert Vansittart, and James Bond film franchise co-producer Harry Saltzman.

"PM Known For Beating Anti-Incumbency": BJP MLA To NDTV On Karnataka Polls

Arvind Bellad, the Karnataka BJP MLA from Hubballi-Dharwad West, has told NDTV that the exit of former Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar from the BJP just weeks before the assembly election will not affect the party's performance in the polls, especially the support of Lingayat voters.

Mr Bellad also denied the BJP will face any anti-incumbency issues, especially with the campaign support that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has provided.

"He (PM Modi) is known for beating anti-incumbency. He creates a pro-incumbency wave and he is going to do that in Karnataka also," Mr Bellad told NDTV.

Mr Shettar, a six-time MLA from Hubballi-Dharwad Central seat and an influential Lingayat leader, joined the Congress after the BJP denied him a ticket. His joining the Congress has led to speculation that Lingayat votes in the Hubballi-Dharwad region may go with him to his new party.

Mr Bellad, however, dismissed such speculation, saying the BJP is not worried.

"Lingayats are always with the BJP and they will always remain with the BJP," Mr Bellad told NDTV, adding the talk about "sympathy factor" for Mr Shettar will not translate into electoral support.

The politically influential Lingayats comprises 17 per cent of Karnataka's population, mostly in the northern parts of the state, which the BJP counts as its strong vote base. After Mr Shettar left the BJP in anger, the Congress has been accusing the BJP of being an "anti-Lingayat" party.

"There is no sympathy factor. In fact, people and party workers are angry at him for going away. Somebody who has enjoyed a lot of support of party workers and power has moved away to Congress," the BJP leader said.

On whether there is less of a regional pull in the BJP's campaign and if mostly relying on PM Modi's support can work in the state election, Mr Bellad agreed PM Modi is a strong force even in the Karnataka election.

"We have such a great Prime Minister who has captured the hearts and minds of people. Why not rely on him? He has a huge sway in this election also," Mr Bellad said.

Voting in Karnataka is on May 10 and votes will be counted three days later.

Ahead Of Coronation, Prince Charles' Personal Wealth Revealed. Details Here

King Charles III has reportedly amassed a personal net worth of 1.8 billion pounds, which is equivalent to around Rs 1,84,06,92,60,000, according to a new analysis.

His cherished art collection, jewellery, expensive automobiles, and real estate were all examined to determine the estimated value of his assets.

According to The Guardian report, King Charles's private wealth is estimated to total 1.815 billion pounds. That figure is three times larger than a recent calculation by the Sunday Times, which did not include several of his most valuable assets.

To catalogue the king's holdings, a team of Guardian reporters worked with 12 experts who are experienced at valuing land, property, vehicles, art, and jewellery. For more opaque assets, such as the king's investments in shares and stocks, we drew on the best available clues to make informed estimates.

"The research throws into sharp relief the Windsor family's most valuable financial asset: total immunity from inheritance tax." "It has probably allowed Charles to receive his mother's wealth free of any contribution to the public purse," the Guardian report said.

"While we do not comment on private finances, your figures are a highly creative mix of speculation, assumption, and inaccuracy," said the king's spokesperson in a statement.

The news outlet claimed that King Charles had 330 million pounds worth of private property and that he has no shortage of palaces, castles, and homes to enjoy.

According to the news source, the king has 23 opulent four-wheelers, which are kept in the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace and at Sandringham, his Norfolk-based estate.
