Michelle Mone made a splash when she entered the House of Lords. Offering fellow peers advice on underwear and nicknamed 'Baroness Bra', the lingerie tycoon was elevated by David Cameron while she served as his business tsar.

Now she is creating waves in the property industry with her new venture: selling homes in Dubai paid for using bitcoin.

This is the first property development ever to be sold using the virtual currency. Baroness Mone of Mayfair, who became a millionaire after founding the underwear brand Ultimo with her ex-husband, is launching it with her boyfriend, businessman Doug Barrowman.
