Among his vast fortune, Gunther VI, who he inherited from his grandfather Gunther IV, owns an eight-bedroom beach house that was once owned by an American artist.
The mansion went on sale Wednesday for $ 31 million. [cerca de 27 milhões de euros] and that cost represents a whopping estimate compared to what it cost when it was bought from the pop star, $ 7.5 million. [6,6 milhões de euros], for two decades, reports AP.
The German Shepherd was attending a meeting with real estate investors for the sale of a home in Miami with a faux diamond collar, as the original, crafted in gold, is at his main home in Tuscany, Italy.
The room overlooking Biscayne Bay features, among other things, a gilt-framed portrait of Gunther IV above the fireplace in the living room.
The dog’s pedigree goes back several decades when Gunther III inherited a multimillion-dollar trust from the late German Countess Carlotta Liebenstein when she died in 1992.
Since then, a group of handlers have helped maintain an “elite” lifestyle in dog breeding, which includes trips to places like Milan or the Bahamas, where Gunther recently dined every night in restaurants.
His caretakers love to make sure he communicates well.
Every morning, the chef prepares you a meal with the finest meats, fresh vegetables and rice.
Sometimes Gunther likes to eat caviar, but he is never served dry food.
He flies on a private jet and receives daily obedience training.
In Miami, the German Shepherd sleeps in “Madonna’s former master bedroom,” said real estate agent Ruthie Assulin.
“He literally sleeps, staring at the most magnificent view, on a custom-made Italian bed in the former bedroom of the world’s biggest pop star,” he said.
One of Gunther’s top trustees, Carla Riccitelli, also sits on the board that manages the fund, which is currently worth $ 500 million. [441 milhões de euros] and it works in the field of buying and selling real estate.
Since the Miami real estate market was so hot, the fund decided that now was the right time to sell the mansion.
The foundation even acquired sports teams such as a soccer club and a swimming team, and Gunther was already “ playing ” on the field and attending tournaments, he said:
Carla Riccitelli, 52, knew the team that had cared for Gunther for almost 30 years and jumped in immediately, joining the group and taking care of the last three Gunthers.
He is also responsible for founding Gunther Rescue, an association that cares for other animals.
As for the current Gunther, the trainer noted that he is not aggressive and gets along well with other animals.
“They are very protective of their master. They like to have their family around, so I usually invite friends with other dogs, ”he said during a telephone interview.
Despite his luxurious life, Gunther also has dramas and problems, like all millionaires, and in Italy he lives with two other dogs of Carla Riccitelli, his beloved companions.
But the caretaker still has six cats and two chickens, making this interaction “incomplete”.
“He’s still learning to live with six cats,” he admitted.
