One and a half year ago, we spoke to you about the most expensive villa into the world, the villa Leopolda, situated to St Jean Cap Ferrat. At this period of time, a Russian billionaire had undertaken to acquire it for the moderate 370 million euro sum to which were added 19.5 millions for furniture. Then, in front of media noise (generally the Russians do not like too much that people know about their deals !) and as a result of the world economic and financial crisis, the buyer retracted, wanting to get back the 39 million euro paid as guarantee. From this moment, the sale was frozen and a trial began!
And the result is : the most expensive villa into the world and her current owner gained this trial and kept the sum of 39 millions, more 1.5 million euro of interest ! It remains to be seen whether the villa Leopolda will again be put on sale and keep its title of the most expensive villa into the world! While waiting for the owner’s answer who realized an interesting financial transaction, she announced that she would put back the sums announced in charitable works! The most expensive villa into the world will thus make happy the most deprived. That’s good news thanks to Villa Leopolda !
This property is not sold. the puschase agreement was signed at 350M€. the 35M€ deposit was lost by the buyer for not proceeding into the final contract with the fullpayment. End of a non story.
