Situated in a privileged area with a view of the Mediterranean Sea, the property is located in the prestigious French Riviera. The international real estate market values the property at around R$ 4 billion.

The attributed value secures the title of third most valuable mansion in the world. In the European context, it ranks second among the highest-priced properties.

Luxury Mansion of a Brazilian Family: Historical Relevance and International Cinema Projection

In addition to the high price, the luxury mansion carries historical significance. In the past, it belonged to King Leopold II of Belgium, which contributes to its symbolic and architectural relevance.

The property also gained exposure by serving as the setting for the film “To Catch a Thief” from 1955, directed by Alfred Hitchcock. With this, it became part of international cinema history.

Built between 1929 and 1931, the residence was designed by American architect Ogden Codman. The style follows the Belle Époque trend, with symmetrical environments and classic finishes that reinforce its aristocratic character.

Internal Structure of the Luxury Mansion and Gardens Reinforce Exclusivity

The structure of the luxury mansion presents impressive numbers. The property has 19 bedrooms, including 11 suites, as well as 14 bathrooms distributed throughout spacious halls and integrated social areas.

The extensive gardens have become one of the property’s main features. These spaces enhance the sense of exclusivity and reinforce the palace-like atmosphere associated with the address.

Due to this set of characteristics, the property remains on the radar of investors and global luxury rankings, maintaining its prominence in the international real estate market.

Safra Family and Ranking Position of the Most Expensive in the World

The luxury mansion belongs to the Safra family, with international operations in the banking sector. Until 2022, the property served as the residence of Lily Safra, widow of banker Edmond Safra.

Since then, the property has remained one of the most valuable real estate assets linked to a Brazilian family abroad. The Safra name continues to be associated with high-value estates.

In the global ranking, the residence occupies third place. It falls behind only Buckingham Palace, valued at US$ 4.9 billion, and Antilia, located in India.

Thus, Villa Leopolda remains one of the greatest symbols of the international real estate market and one of the most significant properties associated with a Brazilian family abroad, consolidating its position in the global landscape.
