Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably heard that Sir James Dyson shifted his company’s HQ from the UK to Singapore.
The billionaire will be in the city more often so he bought a 3-storey Wallich Residence Penthouse at Tanjong Pagar for a whopping S$73.8 million!
The stunning apartment features a private family room, a 600-bottle wine cellar and a mesmerising sky lounge.
James Dyson garnered fame for creating the world’s first bag-less vacuum cleaner in 1978.
His invention became a big hit because it could separate air from dust and pull cigarette smoke from the air.
Today, his products are sold in over 65 countries. His product line includes vacuum cleaners, curling irons, hair dryers, air purifiers and lighting.
Dyson is known as one of UK’s richest citizens with a net worth of $12.6 billion.
How did he amass his massive wealth? Here’s a lineup of his popular products.
Dyson Cyclone V10 is a vacuum cleaner that looks like a machine gun for dust bunnies.
Mums will be happy to know that it can easily remove dirt from carpets and trap microscopic particles like pollen and bacteria. It is available for $899 on Best Denki.
It’s no secret that Dyson has innovated air purifiers.
Not only can the Dyson Pure Cool Purifying Tower Fan keep you cool during the tropical summer, but it can also clean the air too. Those with asthma or allergies will love the fact that it can take smog and pollen out of the air. Interested shoppers can find this on the Dyson SG website.
Dyson boasts that their Supersonic Hair Dryer is the gold standard of gifts — and they weren’t exaggerating.
Priced at S$749 on Best Denki SG, the hair dryer includes 23.75 karat gold and a stylish red presentation case.
This isn’t just expensive because it seems fancy. The hair dryer includes the Dyson digital Motor V9 which spins 6 times faster than other hair dry motors. Other features include 3 speed settings, four heat settings, a styling concentrator and a smoothing nozzle.
The Dyson Lightcycle from Dyson SG is far from your average lamp. It tracks colour temperature, auto-adjusts light and functions as a charging port. Brightness can also change based on your age or sleep time.
They say the light surpasses the “recommended levels for studying” and we hope it can also help students improve their current grades.
