Dirk Ströer, boss of one of Germany's biggest online and public advertising companies, will use the record purchase as a holiday home for him and his family, his estate agent said.
Mr Ströer, from Cologne, had not planned to spend so much money, nor even buy in Cape Town, agent Adrien Feinstein said.
‘They were not planning on buying such an expensive property, but they fell in love with it. It has spectacular views and it is a spectacular home,’ said Mr Epstein.
The German couple, who have two children, had chanced upon the award-winning home during a visit to friends in Cape Town, settling on a price with the owners last month.
