🇱🇾🇬🇧 A $10 MILLION GADDAFI MANSION HAS BEEN SITTING ABANDONED IN ONE OF LONDON’S RICHEST NEIGHBORHOODS FOR MORE THAN A DECADE. The house sits on “Billionaires Row” in North London, where mansions can sell for £20 million, even £65 million. Yet nearly one in three homes there is empty. This one once belonged to Saadi Gaddafi, son of Muammar Gaddafi. He bought it in 2009 through a British Virgin Islands company, with up to a dozen bedrooms, an indoor pool, gym, cinema and walls decorated with imitation diamonds. Then 2011 happened. Muammar Gaddafi was killed, Saadi fled Libya, and the mansion was effectively frozen in time. Activists later occupied it, hung banners from the balconies and declared that the property belonged to the Libyan people. A British court later ruled that the mansion had been purchased with Libyan state funds and transferred it to Libya. But Libya fractured, billions linked to the Gaddafi family were frozen, and the house became trapped in international legal battles. One of the strangest twists came when General Dynamics UK pursued Libya over unpaid contracts and a British court allowed the mansion to be used as collateral in a £16 million claim. So today, one of London’s most extravagant homes is basically a geopolitical pawn: too valuable to ignore, too legally tangled to use, and still sitting empty in a neighborhood filled with some of the richest people on Earth.
