When you're wandering the streets of Britain, often you'll spot circular blue plaques on the exterior of properties highlighting the potential historic significance and links to a famous person of the past. While these may not increase the value of a property, it does add creditability in terms of authenticating its history. This can be of huge interest among some buyers, particularly overseas buyers - although some wealthy buyers prefer to be more discrete and not run the risk of having tourists flock to their front door steps to take a photo. We have picked two impressive blue plaque properties with links to Nobel Prize winners and seven figure price tags in our latest property battle...

Bill and Melinda Gates’ daughter, Jennifer, has recently made a major purchase - a $76 million penthouse in New York. The 826-square-metre pad has plenty of outdoor space and even boasts a plunge pool. The massive price tag raised some eyebrows after the Microsoft mogul previously stated he planned to leave just US$10 million ($13 million) to each of his kids - a relatively paltry inheritance. However, it may have been Jennifer’s husband, Nayel Nassar who was able to fork out for the penthouse since he comes from his own uber-wealthy family. (The expansive penthouse is located in New York.

In days of old, a king might have banished rebellious relatives — or even chopped off their heads. But it’s 2023, and King Charles III has simply been left “tired and furious” by the continuing disobedience of his family, sources told Page Six. What should be a time of reflection and joy for Charles as he prepares for his May 6 coronation alongside his queen, Camilla, is being marred by the behavior of not just one but two “spares.” While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are still negotiating their attendance on the big day (despite the RSVP date of April 2 having already passed), Charles, 74, and his younger brother Prince Andrew are fighting over real...
