Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov, the owner of the mighty megayacht Dilbar, will likely feel the loss of his seized superyacht even more now. The reason? He is about to be one villa short, as authorities are selling his holiday home, a peaceful sanctuary on the lakeshore of Rottach-Egern. This marks an end to his love affair with Lake Tegernsee, where the billionaire once enjoyed an idyllic life, accompanied by a retinue of 30 staff members, including bodyguards, during his walks.
Usmanov first arrived at Lake Tegernsee in 2008 for eye surgery. The pristine locale must have appeared even more breathtaking after the procedure, as he fell in love with the landscape and, over the years, acquired four properties in Rottach-Egern. According to Merkur.de, these properties are estimated to be worth well over $53 million. Now, the villa seized in February 2022 is up for sale at $26.6 million, making it one of the most expensive in Germany.
Insolvency administrator Ulrich Cramer from Holzkirchen aims to secure multiple millions from the sale of the luxury villa, which Usmanov used as a holiday retreat for years but has remained vacant for the last three years. The early Facebook investor originally purchased the dream property, spanning 4,700 square meters, for $8.3 million. The villa itself offers 735 square meters of living space, four bedrooms and bathrooms across two upper floors, a 750-square-meter bathhouse, and a 20-meter pool.
If Cramer successfully sells the estate, the proceeds will be deposited into a dedicated insolvency account under his control. Ironically, the home that once offered peace has seen more action than one would expect since 2022. First, a special unit of over 250 German police officers raided Usmanov’s properties in Southern Bavaria, including this lavish villa on Lake Tegernsee. Then, a safe inside the home was found containing four Fabergé eggs, later confirmed to be fakes, yet still worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Back then, Usmanov may have worried about what remained inside the villa. Now, it is the entire property slipping from his grasp, yet another reason he might long for his $800 million superyacht even more.
