February 05, 2020 - 09:54 GMT Emmy Griffiths John Caudwell is one of Britain's most successful businessmen, having sold his company, Phones4U, back in 2006 for an incredible £1.5billion. Now, the Stoke on Trent-born billionaire in the subject of a new documentary for Channel 4, Expensive Home: Building For A Billionaire, which takes a look at his incredible £250million Mayfair home as it undergoes a £65million refurbishment. Take a sneak peek at the incredible renovation here.
The documentary will take a look at the unique engineering tasks and challenges to create a subterranean basement that joins two mansions together, a mechanical car stacker that can take eight cars from street level to storage with ease, a pool with a bespoke installation designed to look like lava and even a dining room featuring a real river - complete with live fish.
Speaking about the new series, executive producer Dan Barraclough said:"This incredible access gives us a glimpse into the world of the truly mega wealthy, where every whim can be realised, but where things can still go wrong, as on any building site. At the heart of the programme is the intriguing character of Caudwell himself – a tough taskmaster, but also a committed philanthropist.
