Expensive cars, yachts, parties in Monaco and Courchevel, and the house on Rublevka, this is the gentleman’s oligarch set in the view of many Russians. As for the real estate, only the richest residents of Russia are not limited to Rublevka. Many of them buy mansions, castles, and villas abroad. We’ll be pleased to inform you what property some of the largest Russian movers and shakers own.

A Marvelous Villa in Italy

Victor Vekselberg, one of the richest Russian businessmen, according to Forbes, values ​​history and cultural heritage. For example, he bought a collection of works of Faberge and even founded the museum of the famous jeweler in St. Petersburg. Perhaps, addiction to things with a history influenced the purchase of the foreign real estate. A few years ago, Vekselberg bought a luxurious Feltrinelli villa on Lake Garda in Italy. The house was the residence of Benito Mussolini. This villa was visited by many politicians of that time. For example, Winston Churchill loved to walk around its neighborhood and paint local landscapes.

The Fantastically Huge Mansions in the Upper East Side

The former governor of Chukotka, the billionaire Roman Abramovich, has the real estate in America. For many years, he owns several mansions in New York. Recently, he bought the fourth. All homes are next to each other on the Upper East Side. They were built in the XIX century. Two mansions are made in the Victorian style; the other two are stylized buildings of the era of Queen Anne. The businessman plans to combine them. The mansion cost Abramovich € 15652800. He paid about € 86960000 for all four buildings. The total area of ​​the buildings is about 1,700 square meters. After the reconstruction, which involves the consolidation of several houses into one, the building may become the largest residential building in New York.
