American billionaire Tom Ford has bought a mansion in London’s high-end Chelsea district for more than £80 million ($104 million), making it the UK’s most expensive home deal this year.
The fashion designer purchased the property — nestled in a neighborhood famous for its stucco-fronted mansions — this summer, according to people familiar with the matter who weren’t authorized to discuss the transaction. A representative for Ford declined to comment.
