Punk fans can get their hands on the London home Johnny Rotten lived in at the height of his fame - if they're willing to part with £1.55m. The stylish three-bedroom maisonette doesn't look like the home of a rock star now after a major refurbishment, but in the late 1970s it was the 'best club in London'. John Lydon - aka Rotten, the lead singer of the Sex Pistols - moved into the home at Gunter Grove in Chelsea in 1978, in the immediate aftermath of the demise of the band. Lydon was seen as a figurehead of the punk movement with hits like 'Anarchy in the UK' and 'God Save the Queen'. The 67-year-old later set up a new band, Public Image Ltd, and Gunter Grove in Chelsea became...

Life on dry land always seemed to leave Mike Soroker, 80, thirsty for more.

This ‘cosy’ one-room flat in Hackney Wick, London will cost you an eye-watering £1,600 per month to rent. And if that wasn’t enough, you’ll have to do some chores.

The flat is also so small that the bed has to sit on a shelf with no headroom. The sleeping area is accessed via a stepladder, with a desk positioned...

Legendary investor Warren Buffett, known for his investment acumen and frugality, has always shown a different perspective on wealth and legacy. Living in the same home for over six decades, he epitomizes the adage that it's not about how much you have but what you do with it. His daughter Susan shared a glimpse of this philosophy on "Good Morning America" in 2006. After requesting a $41,000 loan for a kitchen renovation to fit her daughter's high chair, her father's response was straightforward: "Go to the bank and do it like everyone else." Such anecdotes are emblematic of Buffett's stance on dollar-based legacies. In 1977, each of the three Buffett offspring received $90,000. This sum...
