The world’s largest swimming pool
Welcome to the San Alfonso del Mar resort in Chile… and it’s $1 billion pool.
You’re probably wondering how on earth a pool can cost $1 billion, right?
Well for starters: It’s the biggest swimming pool in the world, with a length of 1km/3323ft, and a depth up to 35m/115ft (Guinness world record).
It contains about 250 million litres (66 million gallons) of water.
The pool draws water from the sea, cleans it and let’s it heat up until 26°C.
Though the estimated cost of construction was $1 billion, there’s a maintenance cost of $2 million dollar every year.
