\nBritish billionaire James Dyson, inventor of the bagless vacuum cleaner, has snapped up the most expensive apartment in Singapore, where his company plans to build an electric car.
\nEarlier this week, Dyson and his wife, Deirdre made headlines after they reportedly paid S$73.8 million for a triplex super penthouse at the ultra-luxe Wallich Residence\u00a0(pic). The purchase is said to be the most expensive condo transaction ever in the city-state.\u00a0
\nBased on title records seen by Reuters, Dyson and his wife bought the Wallich Residence penthouse on 20 June, 2019.
\nOnce valued at $100 million, the three-storey property has an area of 21,000 sq ft and comes with five bedrooms, a private garden, a 600-bottle wine cellar, pool and jacuzzi. It can also be accessed by its own lift and boasts city views including the Marina Bay Sands, showed marketing documents.
\nThe 99-year leasehold penthouse at Tanjong Pagar Centre spans across the 62nd to 64th floors of Guoco Tower, which was built by developer GuocoLand.

\nIn January, the 72-year-old Dyson announced plans to relocate his company\u2019s head office to Singapore from Britain to be closer to its fastest-growing markets.
\nWith products including bagless vacuum cleaners, air purifiers, hair dryers and bladeless fans, his company is also looking at building its first electric car in Singapore.
\n\u201cGiven the decision to locate the headquarters in Singapore and the growing focus of the company\u2019s business in the region, of course James Dyson has bought a property there,\u201d said a Dyson spokesman, without offering further details on the purchase.
