United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has bought a mansion in Chelsea, one of London’s most expensive home deals in recent years.

A company tied to the UAE leader spent £65 million ($81.7 million) on the west London mansion in November, according to UK filings. The property was built in the 2000s when a group of businessmen developed three mansions on the site of a former telephone exchange.
