    Billionaire James Dyson, the inventor of the Dual Cyclone bagless vacuum cleaner, made a big deal out of his support for Brexit.

    Then, amidst the chaos of Theresa May’s efforts to get Britain to exit the EU, Dyson decided to exit Britain, taking his business to Singapore.

    Now he’s setting down roots with the purchase of Singapore’s most expensive penthouse for a reported £43,5 million.

    Loves Brexit, just doesn’t want to live there or run his business in the UK, you know?

    Here’s The Daily Mail:

    The Wallich Residence super penthouse – located at the top of the Guoco Tower, which became Singapore’s highest when it was completed in 2016 – covers three floors, contains five bedrooms, and features a rooftop swimming pool and Jacuzzi room.

    With 21,000sq ft of living space, it is also Singapore’s largest raised apartment. While photos show an interior decked out with marble floors, a walk-in wardrobe big enough to hang a chandelier in, and a grand piano – the listing says a team of specialist designers and architects stand ready to customise it however the buyer wishes.

    According to official title records, Dyson and his wife became tenants of the 99-year leasehold property on June 20.

    The Wallich Residence super penthouse became known as Singapore’s most expensive when it was unveiled in 2017 with a high-end asking price of 100million Singapore dollars.

    However, Business Times reports that Mr Dyson bought it for a significantly lower sum of 73.8million Singapore dollars ($54.17 million, £43.5 million).

    This isn’t his only property, and it also isn’t the biggest.

    A £50 million penthouse apartment in New York and a 51-bedroom stately home in Gloucestershire also bear Dyson’s name on the doorbell.

    The Gloucestershire home is the most opulent, boasting orangeries, lakes and a 300-acre park designed by Capability Brown which contains a helipad.

    Mr Dyson also has a a £40million Gulfstream jet in his personal hangar, and a vast yacht called the Nahlin which once transported Edward VIII and his married lover Wallis Simpson around the Adriatic, and was restored by the inventor at a cost of £25million.

    Before making his fortune, he studied fine art, then switching to furniture and interior design at the Royal College of Art.

    I dare you to make that joke about a pizza and humanities degree while he’s around.
