The residence behind the $387 million headline is the Sky Penthouse at Monaco’s Tour Odéon. Accounts describe a sprawling home with five bedrooms, a cinema, a sauna, multiple kitchens and an outdoor pool; one report also lists a waterslide. But $387 million was reported as a prospective price, not a confirmed sale or a verified current valuation.
What is the Tour Odéon Sky Penthouse?
The Sky Penthouse occupies the upper floors of Tour Odéon, a residential skyscraper in Monaco. Its scale is striking even by luxury-property standards: Sotheby’s described it in 2016 as 35,000 square feet, while Complex reported 35,500 square feet in 2014. Those figures are close, but not identical, and should be treated as reported measurements rather than a single confirmed area. Sotheby’s (2016); Complex (2014).

The accounts also differ on how many floors make up the residence. Sotheby’s and Complex call it five storeys or floors; Fraser Yachts describes four. The available descriptions do not resolve whether this reflects different counting conventions or a factual disagreement, so the safest description is a multi-level penthouse. Fraser Yachts.
What is inside the penthouse?
Bedrooms and kitchens
Fraser Yachts lists five bedrooms and says there is a kitchen on every floor. That detail suggests the residence was designed to support entertaining and day-to-day use across its levels, though the source does not specify the kitchen layouts or equipment. Fraser Yachts.

Private cinema and sauna
A home or private cinema and a sauna appear in the Fraser Yachts account and in Complex’s description. They are private amenities within the residence, rather than services whose availability to future occupants has been independently confirmed. Fraser Yachts; Complex (2014).
Outdoor pool and waterslide
The outdoor pool is another repeatedly reported feature; Complex specifies an infinity pool and says it includes a waterslide. Fraser Yachts also lists an outdoor pool, while Forbes mentioned an infinity pool in its 2018 coverage. The waterslide detail is specifically reported by Complex. Complex (2014); Fraser Yachts; Forbes (2018).
Who designed the interior?
Sotheby’s reported in 2016 that Alberto Pinto Interior Design outfitted the penthouse. That establishes the design firm’s association with the interiors; it does not establish that the residence’s furnishings or finishes remain unchanged today. Sotheby’s (2016).

Was the penthouse really worth $387 million?
$387 million is a widely repeated historical headline, but the sources do not establish it as a completed transaction. Complex used the figure in 2014, Sotheby’s reported in 2016 that the penthouse was reportedly set to go on the market at that price, and Forbes repeated it in 2018. Those reports support describing $387 million as a reported prospective or asking-price figure—not as a verified sale price or present-day valuation. Complex (2014); Sotheby’s (2016); Forbes (2018).
There is also a different reported figure to keep in view: Coldwell Banker Global Luxury’s State of Luxury Report 2019 included the Sky Penthouse among its top global listings for 2018 at $330 million. That is a listing entry, not proof of a sale, but it shows why the $387 million figure should not be treated as a settled price or stable value. Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, State of Luxury Report 2019.
What remains unconfirmed?
The cited accounts do not verify whether the penthouse sold, who owns it now, whether it is currently available, or what it would be worth today. Nor do they settle the four-versus-five-floor discrepancy. Claims that it is currently the world’s most expensive penthouse go beyond what these historical reports establish.
