Last Sunday, David Alaba won the most coveted club trophy in the world: the Uefa Champions League.

 

His team, Bayern Munich defeated Paris St. Germain of France by 1-0 to lift the trophy for the sixth time.

Immediately the game was over, David Alaba went to console Neymar, who was sobbing quietly. It was a wonderful sight to see.

David Alaba was born in Vienna, Austria to a Nigerian father, George Alaba and a Filipino mother, Gina Alaba.

 

 

 

 

David has a sister, Rose May. In an interview he said she's one of his closest friends.

George Alaba first came to Austria to study Economics at the University of Vienna. However, his passion for music was more than his desire to acquire a degree in Economics so he dropped out of school to pursue his career in music.

Gina Alaba was a former Filipino beauty queen, who'd migrated to Austria to seek greener pastures.

She met George Alaba and the two got married and had two kids.

The Alabas wanted the best for their kids, David and Rose May and allowed them to discover their gifts.

Rose May wanted to pursue a career in music, while David's passion was to become a footballer.

He was enrolled in a football academy in Vienna and it was there scouts of Bayern Munich spotted the talented teenager and brought him over to Germany.

And ever since, David Alaba has been a first team player in the greatest football club in Germany and current Champions of Europe.

David plays mainly as a left full back, but his versatility also makes him perform well as a midfielder.

In his international career, David Alaba opted to play for Austria ahead of Nigeria.

She'd performed at the Austrian Music Awards and is trying to breath through in the Nigerian musical scene.

We wish David and the Alaba family greater success.

What’s the most expensive house in the world? Well, you’re about to find out. But in the meantime, we can tell you that you’ll need at least $1b to own a house on the list

 The average home in the U.S. is worth $257,445. But what about the expensive houses where the rich and famous live? 

There are many expensive homes all over the world. The lucky homeowners of these expensive homes had several million dollars to splurge on their home — and for good reason!

Coming in at number one on the list, and claiming the title of the most expensive house in the world, is Buckingham Palace. 

Today, Buckingham Palace is home to the Queen of England, is the headquarters of the Monarch and it also hosts significant national celebrations.

There’s a reason this palace comes with such a huge price tag. The palace is a whopping 828,000 square feet! It boasts 775 rooms, 78 bathrooms, 19 staterooms, and 92 offices. Even the garden is 40 acres in size.

You can find the palace in Westminster, London, and is the perfect photo op for London tourists.

Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of the UK’s sovereigns since 1837 and today, it is the administrative headquarters of the Monarch.

It’s no surprise that a palace fit for a queen (literally) tops our list. At $2.9 billion, Buckingham Palace is the most expensive home in the world.

But Buckingham Palace is more of a historic landmark than a home.

However, despite its impressive size and taking the title of the most expensive house in the world, it’s still not the largest palace in the world.

It’s estimated that if the palace were to be put up for sale; it would be somewhere in the region of $2.9 billion, but it’s highly unlikely it will ever happen. 

If you’re wondering where India’s richest man lives, he resides at the second-most expensive house in the world.

Antilla is worth $1 billion and Mukesh Ambani calls this home. Ambani is the Chairman and Managing Director of Fortune Global 500 Company Reliance Industries Limited.

The 400,000 square foot building is positioned in Mumbai’s Cumballa Hill neighboured and stands at an impressive 27 stories high.

It’s also been built to withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8 on the Richter scale.
