Rinat Akhmetov, Ukraine’s richest man, has emerged as the buyer of the historic Villa Les Cedres in the south of France.
The sprawling estate on the French Riviera is a “long-term investment”, according to a statement from Akhmetov’s SCM Holdings Limited. Davide Campari-Milano SpA agreed to sell the property last year for 200 million euros, or about $220 million at the time, the company said in August, without naming the buyer.
