Mike Ashley’s 13-year tenure as Newcastle United owner looks finally set to be coming to an end.
Amanda Staveley’s PCP Capital Partners and the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) has agreed to buy the club for around £300 million.
The Saudi fund is controlled by Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who will hold 80% of the club shares, while Staveley will hold 10%. The other 10% will be controlled by billionaire brothers, David and Simon Reuben.
34-year-old is believed to be worth around £7 billion.
The grounds span 57 acres and it features a wine cellar with space for up to 3,000 bottles. All the fountains, sound systems, lights and air conditioning are all controlled by an iPhone.
Inside, there is a gold theme - no doubt real gold - while there is a swimming pool both inside and outside.
There is expensive art on the walls, while there is also a nightclub for Bin Salman host parties.
But perhaps the best room of all is the underwater chilling room, featuring an aquarium.
In total, there are 10 bedroom suites, a huge reception room with a 52ft-high painted dome ceiling, a library, a cinema, a squash court and two ballrooms.
