Villa, yacht and a huge bank account: how the richest dog in the world lives
The richest dog in the world, Gunther VI, is driven by a personal chauffeur. He has a villa in the Bahamas that used to belong to Madonna, a luxury yacht in the port on the Caribbean coast, and millions of dollars in Swiss banks.
The details of the story about the fabulous life of Gunter VI were told by the SSPDaily. In particular, the publication reported that Gunther the shepherd dog was allegedly a pet of the rich and lonely German Countess Carlotta Liebenstein, who left her entire inheritance to her and her descendants after her death.
How Gunther VI lives
The richest dog in the world literally bathes in luxury. Gunther has his own BMW car with a personal driver, a villa in the Bahamas, and a huge yacht in a port in the Caribbean. His wealth is estimated at 310 million euros.
The house where Gunther lives is worth 73 million euros and has a whole staff of service personnel. In addition, the sheepdog is considered to be the owner of the Italian football club Pisa and travels frequently.
Gunter also has his accounts on popular social networks, where his PR team demonstrates the dog's life, which consists of eating delicacies, yachting, and endless photo shoots.
Who manages the money?
The publication writes that Gunther's money is managed by his legal representative, the CEO of The Gunther Corporation, 66-year-old Italian businessman Maurizio Mian.
According to Lucy Clarkson, the company's PR officer, when the dog received the inheritance from Countess Liebenstein, a special trust fund was created to preserve the inheritance for the dog and his descendants.
The truth about the dog's countless treasures surfaced when they decided to make a documentary about the story. That's when Maurizio Mian admitted that he had invented the whole thing from start to finish and used the dog as a front for his media and real estate investments.
As it turned out, Mian is an eccentric heir to the pharmaceutical business, and he inherited his millions from his mother.
"This story sounds crazy. So, of course, we were intrigued from the very beginning. And over the years, many media outlets have told Gunter's story. But this time, we were able to get unprecedented information," said documentary director Aurélien Letourgey.
In turn, the film's executive producer Emily Dumay said: "Maurizio lives in his own imaginary world. For him, the destruction of the myth of the Countess and her pet was a real catastrophe. He had believed in this illusion for so long that it became a reality for him."
