The World's Most Prestigious Addresses

The most expensive streets in the world share four characteristics: irreplaceable location, restricted access, extraordinary residents and prices that defy the surrounding market. A $43.8 million Dubai villa. A $308 million Singapore listing. A London private road averaging £35 million. These are the standards, not the outliers.

A small number of addresses have become the definitive coordinates of UHNWI residential life. All are impossible to replicate. This is the global wealth map: 20 streets, the prices they command and what makes each irreplaceable.
