It is not every day that one of the richest men in the world can be counted among his fellow citizens, and if he is also generous, then the most is done, as is well known in Bellagio, where, thanks to the English magnate Alan Howard, they managed to repair one of the city’s areas. It was not difficult for Sir Howard to get 330,000 euros out of his pocket, which was used to finance half of the work, cooperating, as he had done on other occasions in recent years, with the municipal administration. The English tycoon is actually among the 50 richest subjects of His Majesty thanks to the activities of his AH trading fund, into which capital of several billion euros is transferred. According to Forbes, he boasts a personal net worth of $1.8 billion, which catapults him to the 556th richest person in the world: his luxury homes include several properties in London, a $25 million penthouse in Trump Tower, and more. 11 in New York, a $14 million Miami home. Villa Placida in Bellagio is also part of his collection, but last year the tycoon chose Villa Olmo, the most beautiful and largest lakeside residence, rented for 1.3 million euros for a wedding with his fiancee Caroline Byron in front. of 250 selected guests from all over the world.
Suffice it to say that Lady Gaga, hired for a private concert, performed at the final party. The billionaire’s latest madness was everything for the people of Bellagio: 330,000 euros to refurbish Piazza Mazzini and bring back the charm of the past by replacing the cobblestones with asphalt. As soon as the work is done, the square will be open in the evening, but almost certainly without Sir Howard, who does not like the noise. A true gentleman.
