They're like x (a few) million per foot aren't they? So maybe his £50m would buy a bathroom ( "The Gosling Head").
It's not even the purchase cost; can you imagine the cost of ownership (staffing, maintenance etc). And then the ongoing cost of protecting it - I guess it'll need a navy escort everywhere it goes in addition to its own defences. I somewhat doubt the billionaires will be lining up to pay those, less glamorous, costs.
I can't believe this conversation has been opened again. Was there a big outrage when the first one was scrapped? I don't remember there being one.
