The sultan of Brunei, the very rich Hassanal Bolkiah, 77 years old, has set his sights on Villa Certosa.
The news is reported by Corriere della Sera: the sovereign who has led the small Islamic absolute monarchy on the island of Borneo since 1967, has already personally gone to test the waters in Porto Rotondo to see with his own eyes the most always rich in Italy . The luxurious villa owned by the Berlusconi family, Fininvest's main real estate asset, would be worth between 300 and 500 million.
No problem for the coffers of the longest-serving monarch in the world who, in addition to 452 Ferraris and 500 Rolls Royces, owns dozens of unique models for a total of 7 thousand vehicles worth 5 billion euros . And in January for the wedding of one of his ten children, Abdul Mateen, 32, wanted a 10-day celebration in the 1,788-room Nurul Iman Palace .
Bolkiah is not the only one interested in purchasing: other Asian and European families would also have knocked on the door of the 4500 square meter villa, with 126 rooms and a 120 hectare park. Fininvest is watching and meanwhile closes the 2023 financial statements with a consolidated net profit of 252.9 million (+29.2% on 2022) and revenues of 3.87 billion (+1.3%).
