One tycoon has not been put off Dubai amid the Iranian airstrikes as he splashes £95million on a penthouse that has not even been built yet. The deal between the buyer and development company Aman Residences was initially agreed on December 23 before being registered with the Dubai Land Department on March 3. An undisclosed commission was paid to the brokerage and estate agent Jimmy Widen, a 41-year-old Swede who founded the Dubai and Marbella-based agency 3SA Estate, on March 10. 'At €110 million [about £95 million] it's the third most expensive penthouse sold in Dubai, but the most expensive ever sold in terms of square feet,' Mr Widen told the Times. It comes amid claims some Dubai influencers based in the United Arab Emirates are being paid to pump out 'propaganda'.
