The 18 Most Luxurious Residences of World Leaders (8 of 10)

Serdar Berdimuhamedow, President of Turkmenistan

The residence of the President of Turkmenistan, known as the “Oguzhan Presidential Palace,” is a grandiose complex located in the capital city of Ashgabat. Featuring striking architecture and expansive grounds, the palace exudes opulence and extravagance. Lavishly decorated interiors showcase intricate designs, luxurious furnishings, and ornate chandeliers, reflecting the country’s wealth… almost all of which goes back to the autocratic leader. Surrounded by manicured gardens and fountains, the palace serves as a reminder of the Berdimuhamedow Family’s iron-firsted rule.

Bongbong Marcos, the President of the Philippines

The Malacañang Palace, the Philippines’ presidential residence in Manila, boasts a rich history. Built in 1750 as a private residence, it transformed into the seat of power after Spanish colonial rule. This baroque-style palace showcases Philippine craftsmanship with narra and molave interiors. Boasting elegant neoclassical architecture, a library, and even a discotheque, the palace was extensively rebuilt and refurbished by then-First Lady Imelda Marcos in the late 1970s, when her husband Ferdinand was president. Beyond its administrative functions, Malacañang Palace hosts state events, receptions, and historical ceremonies, embodying the country’s political legacy and cultural richness.
