British urban explorer Lukka Venuters, 28, discovered three abandoned mansions, known as the Tiger Mansions, once owned by Japanese billionaire Genshiro Kawamoto, who died in 2024.
Inside, Lukka found millions of pounds worth of furnishings, including marble statues, gold-rimmed furniture, a taxidermy tiger, and two vintage Rolls Royces.
The mansions, which had been left in a state of decay, were filled with items that seemed abandoned like "they were worthless."
Built between the 1960s and 1980s, the properties had been left empty after Kawamoto's financial crimes led to his conviction.
Lukka documented his findings on his YouTube channel.
