It's the most expensive home currently for sale in Paris, according to the Russia-based Kalinka Realty, which is selling the property with Hong Kong-based Sindex Development.
The massive mansion sits along the banks of the Seine River, right next to the city's most famous landmark: the Eiffel Tower. The price recently went up from 220 million euros — about $246 million — because of buyer interest, particularly among Russian clients, Kalinka Realty told Business Insider.
