No One Lives In North Korea's $900 Million Palace

Welcome back, Richest fans! The Kumsusan Palace of the Sun is worth millions of dollars! However, this former home of previous North Korea leader and founder, Kim Il-sung, has had no one living within its walls for decades. Instead, it’s been converted into a usual building. Today, we’re going to look at this amazing property in detail. We’ll even briefly look at the main home of current leader, Kim Jong-un, and one of the tallest buildings in the world that’s never had someone live inside in North Korea. We’ll also explore a particular abandoned luxury hotel in Croatia.
Now for the spoiler paragraph. If you like surprises, we suggest you stop reading and watch the video multiple times. After we see the amazing history of the Kumsusan Palace and the crazy amount spent to change it to its current task, we’ll then see the strict visitor rules in place and the reason for them. Then, we have the Ryongsong Residence of Jong-un that has intense security with a number of hidden secrets. Next in North Korea is the expensive Ryugyong Hotel that holds an unwanted Guinness World Record. We’ll then explore the Haludovo Palace Hotel in Croatia. It was created as a playground for the wealthy to relax within. Now, it’s a shell of its former self. We’ll see what caused this touch of luxury to be left to Mother Nature. Finally, we’ll see just how much money former North Korean leader, Kim Jong-il, spent on bottles of Hennessy cognac each year. It’s an eye-watering amount!

As a person that visited the palace during a national day, almost everything you said was correct, this place is the most secure place in the country. You require formal wear, I didn't know about hair rules, I supose they refer to unusual color or haircuts. You wait in a building a side the place, then you deposit everything, my two cameras and phone, you pass a security check and a footwear cleaner, next you go to a moving walkway to enter the building, during these minutes you can see leaders photos and the gardens, once you're there you will got to the room at 2:08 to salute the statues, inside the building an instrumental version of the song "The Leader Will Always Be with Us" is played continuosly. You will go to various rooms and halls, then you'll visit the Kim Il Sung room, the room is red and there is a guard in every corner, in the center the body lays, in line you salute him three times at his 6' 9' and 3' you don't salute his head side, everything is fast, you can't stop to see the body, you exit from other door and then go to his exposition room, most of them are medals, gifts and diplomas for other countries and a lot of universities. Next you go to the Kim Jong Il room and the same things happens, three sides and exit the room to see his exposition of goods and gifts. You go back to the main room and the to the moving walkway to retrive your items. A lot of locals were there, civilians and military personnel visiting the place. The thing at 4:04 is true, you're not allowed to hide your hands in your pockets or putting your hands together in the back, this happened to me a lot and I was warned because for them it wasn't respectful. In my defense I will say that I could not help it, I always do it. Other curious fact about the place is that there is a abandoned metro station in it, the Kwangmyŏng Station that was closed in 1995, the train don't stop there anymore.

You build a 150 story building for who? You've starved and bankrupted the entire country so they're too poor to afford it and you make it impossible for people to travel from other countries to visit NK because just about anything can get them executed or sent to a prison camp for life. So who the hell is the hotel for?

The 105 story Ryugyong Hotel was supposed to be finished by 1989, for the World Festival of Youth and Students, which Pyongyang hosted that year, as an alternative to Seoul's hosting of the 1988 Summer Olympics. Pyongyang already had a few hotels in existence when work began on the Ryugyong. Work stopped in 1992 after funding dried up due to the collapse of the Soviet Union. It wasn't until 2008 that glass and metal cladding were added. Eventually, LED displays were added, turning what was intended to be the largest hotel in the world into a massive illuminated propaganda display.

Actually, the "105 story" building is exaggerated. It doesn't even have 100 floors, floors 4, 14, 24, 34, 40-49, 54, 64, 74, 84, 94, and 104 are skipped and missing. In reality, it only has 86 floors.
The Croatian coast is such an unbelievably beautiful part of the world, I'm shocked that hotel hasn't been redeveloped for modern tourism
The 105-story "Hotel of Doom," never hosted a single guest, but remains a subject of international fascination. Tallest Unoccupied Building in the World. What a waste of money.
Best city in the world
I don't see the connection between North Korea and Croatia... why would you finish the video like that?

What it's bothering, that the architecture share the same resemblace. With the Palace of Parliament in Bucharest. I know Kim Ir Sen had close relation with Nicolae Ceaușescu. Plus the former romanian dictator, said something like we could this masterpiece in my country, it could even could beat Taj Mahal. But with cost of the entire country budget, cuting gas, food, heat supplies to extreme. The people couldn't take it anymore.
