Then it was bought by Indian businessman Vijay Mallya, the head of United Breweries Group and Kingficher Airlines, the owner of a fortune of 1 billion dollars. He is 937th in the list of the richest people in the world. Mallya is the owner of the only private villa on St. Margaret Island, near Cannes, worth an estimated 35 million euros.
