Largest Residential Purchase in History!
NEW YORK POST
LILY CLEANS UP ON RIVIERA
LA Leopolda, the most spectacular seaside estate in the south of France, is falling into the hands of a nouveau-riche Russian. Sources in Paris say Lily Safra will sell the property to Roman Abramovich for $500 million, by far the largest residential purchase price in history. Abramovich, who is worth $23.5 billion, is said to be an intimate friend of Vladimir Putin, who still runs Russia. Hearing of Lily's impending windfall, one well-known New Yorker kicked himself and moaned, "Gianni Agnelli offered La Leopolda to me in the early 1980s for $3 million. I turned it down with the sarcastic remark that I didn't care to support 50 gardeners." Agnelli, the Fiat chairman who was fearful of kidnappers, then sold it for around the same price to Edmond Safra, who died tragically in Monaco in 1999.
