Abstract: It is proved that for any $d\geq 3$ , there exists a norm $\Vert\cdot\Vert$ and two points

in $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that the boundary of the Leibniz half-space $H(a,b)=\{x\in \mathbb{R}^d: \Vert x-a\Vert\leq\Vert x-b\Vert\}$ has non-zero Lebesgue measure. When

, it is known that the boundary must have zero Lebesgue measure.
