What is 'obscene' about being wealthy, OLIVERW, or what are you doing here? Anyway, she can share with two friends for only £7,000 per month each. A bargain!

These student flats have to be seen to be believed
03 October 2015
An American fashion design student is paying a cool £21,000 a month (£5,250 a week) for their London apartment, it has been revealed, making it perhaps the most expensive student digs in the world.
The 19-year-old snapped up the three-bedroom triplex in Fountain House on Park Lane in Mayfair, which boasts a glass central staircase, entertaining rooms, a walk-in wardrobe and a massive double shower.
But this isn't the only luxury residence available in this development. Come and take a tour.
The cheapest property will set you back £2,250 a week – that’s £9,000 a month, or £108,000 a year.
Peter Wetherell, Chief Executive of Wetherell, says: “These newly refurbished apartments provide the perfect turn-key luxury-let and are available for immediate occupation. They would be perfect for a wealthy student, or are ideal for a City stockbroker, successful lawyer or couple wanting a London home."
The open plan breakfast room has a fully-fitted designer kitchen complete with stone worktops and integrated Miele appliances.
The rooms are dressed by Alexander James Interior Design, whose previous work includes Sunseeker yachts, country houses and luxury London homes.
Master bedrooms have deep carpet...
...as well as a walk-in wardrobe.
En-suite bathrooms are furnished with stone flooring, a twin basin, marble vanity tops, freestanding bathtub and an enormous double shower.
This is the foyer: it has a 24-hour concierge and a comfortable seating area for guests.
A colossal 80% of enquiries have come from international students so far. Wealthy students from the Middle East, North America, Asia and Africa are able to pay over £2,000 a week on rent, according to Wetherell, with enough money left over to shop and dine at fancy hangouts.
The largest proportion come from China (18%), followed by the USA (9%), India (7%), Hong Kong (5%), Malaysia (4%) and Nigeria (4%).
According to the Higher Education Statistics Agency, there are 107,000 international students at London universities and they spend £1.36 billion a year on living expenses.
The Fountain House apartments are popular with fashion and economics students given their close proximity to the London College of Fashion, Westminster University and the London School of Economics.

Presumably this student is from an obscenely rich family.

Any chance of the same photos in 10 months time?
