\nRussian billionaire and Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s fast becoming known as billionaires\u2019 row, so it perhaps the newest resident on Britain\u2019s most expensive street is an unsurprising addition. When Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich was searching for a new London home it would appear he didn\u2019t look much further than Kensington Palace Gardens.
\nThe billionaire owner of Chelsea  football club has bought a \u00a390 million on the road near Kensington Palace, it has been reported.<\/p>\n

This makes him the third person out of the six wealthiest people on The Sunday Times Rich List to make their home on Kensington Palace Gardens.
\nThe title of billionaires\u2019 row was once held by The Bishops Avenue in north London, according to The Sunday Times. However, Abramovich\u2019s purchase on Kensington Palace Gardens has cemented the street\u2019s position as its rightful successor.<\/p>\n

No estate agents were thought to have been used in the private sale and sources told The Sunday Times Abramovich, who is worth \u00a310.3 billion, was the buyer.
\nAbramovich is thought to have suspended renovation plans on a \u00a3150million project to knock nine flats in Lowndes Square, Belgravia, into mansion for himself, his partner Dasha Zhukova and their young son. <\/p>\n

The family were thought to have become frustrated with the three-year wait for the Belgravia project to be completed and had been living in a Chelsea-based grade II-listed house while building work was being done. Abramovich\u2019s new neighbours include Britain\u2019s richest man Lakshmi Mittal, a steel magnate worth \u00a323.8billion, and Ukrainian-born oil magnate Len Blavatnik, who has made at least \u00a34.7billion. <\/p>\n

Mittal bought his Kensington Palace Gardens home for \u00a357 million from the Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone in 2004, and renamed it Taj Mittal. Tree-lined Kensington Palace Gardens also houses and Russian and Israeli embassies and the avenue has armed police from the diplomatic protection squad guarding each end of it. <\/p>\n
