What do you do if you’re a Chinese billionaire and want to one-up all of your rich friends? Well, for one particular billionaire in China’s Fujian, he decided it would be a good idea to have his Rolls-Royce Ghost craned up to his 44th floor penthouse apartment.
As you can probably imagine, getting a car into a high-rise apartment is no easy task so the owner had to pay an engineering firm to construct a one-off iron cage for the car that was then lifted up using three extremely strong and durable cables by a crane.
Footage and images shared to social media show that the car made its way up to the 44th floor with no major issues before a team of workers used steel ropes to pull it over the balcony before it was then lowered down. Here’s hoping the balcony is strong because the Rolls-Royce Ghost is very heavy.

While it is quite interesting to see a car being lifted up into an apartment like this, we can’t help but think about what the owner will do should he ever want to actually drive the car. If money is really no object to them (which apparently seems to be the case here) then they’d likely have to pay several hundreds of thousands of dollars to have a new crane constructed and then pay for the Rolls-Royce to be lowered back down to ground level.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen an absurdly wealthy individual do something like this. In May, a multi-millionaire in Melbourne, Australia had his McLaren Senna GTR craned inside his $39 million, 57th-floor penthouse apartment. In that instance, the owner acknowledged that the car would likely have to live out the rest of its days in the apartment as removing it would be almost impossible.
