One of the richest people in the world and co-founder of Microsoft Bill Gates has added yet another gem to his collection: the medieval Castello di San Giorgio in Portofino, Italy. The $60 million acquisition, carried out by Gates’ real estate firm Four Seasons, begs the issue of what will happen to the castle in the future. Will the computer magnate turn it into his personal home, or is he planning to turn it into an opulent hotel?
Magnificence of the Castle: The 12,917 square foot Castello di San Giorgio is tucked away in the charming fishing village of Portofino. It has twelve bedrooms and twelve bathrooms. Its prime location in the center of Portofino provides stunning views of the water and the ocean. The castle has a rich history, having originally served as a military defensive facility during the Roman era and been the residence of prominent people like the sister of Giorgio Armani and the Loro Piana family.
The Four Seasons Connection: The future of the castle is speculated about in light of Gates’ acquisition through Four Seasons. With a private elevator that takes you straight to the beaches around Portofino’s harbor, this property is ready for makeovers. Mayor Matteo Viacava did clarify that the castle is only allowed to be used for residential purposes, so there would be difficulties if Gates decided to turn it into a hotel.
Navigating Regulations in Residential or Hotel Settings
Mayor Viacava highlighted the municipality’s rules limiting Gates’ usage of the castle to residential use, even though he was excited about the possibility of Gates moving in. It would be difficult to convert the castle into a hotel because of the numerous regulatory obstacles that would need to be overcome. The $60 million investment could not even be the start of the financial considerations needed for Gates’ dream of a Four Seasons luxury hotel.
Cascade Investment’s Four Seasons Stake: Gates has long been associated with the Four Seasons brand, even before this most recent acquisition. For $2.2 billion in September 2021, Saudi Arabian Prince Alwaleed bin Talal’s share of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts was acquired by his investment company, Cascade Investment LLC. Although Gates’s affiliation with the Four Seasons is noteworthy, the precise plans for the Portofino castle are still unknown.
maybe if the world is lucky. the castle will be the death of him.
perhaps an earthquake whiles he’s sleeping on his self imposed throne ^5
Gates in my humble opinion is demonic. It’s too bad that he couldn’t be a rich man who wanted to help this plant instead of destroying it. He’s more interested in power and in killing off the people so he can have their property and their foot print
So you have a guy like Gates who has turned the money he has made into ways to help disadvantaged people get water, vaccines, housing and food and the uninformed people above just dripping hate and envy.
And nevertheless these same hateful ignorant people would probably vote for Trump, a guy who have been indicted and convicted for fraud, sexual abuse as well as indicted for trading and holding illegally top secret documents, PLUS fraud, PLUS trying to overturn a legitimate election and the peaceful transition of power…….”Patriots Indeed”…what a joke !!!
Gates, enjoy your castle….shame it is in Italy where the Fascist just took over…but well, what can you do?
Like Vaccines that are Filled with VIT A to give them cliff lips? Vaccines like the Jab to give them Myocarditis? To Buy up Ranches and Farms and not Grow food on them? To give talks to his lackeys like you about DEPOPULATION and the WEF? Do you mean Covering the Skies with what he Calls DUST to reflect UV rays? and I could go on and on but its people like yourself who swallow the bait whole.
Gates and Soros are the same but then you know that and probably support him too.
You are a moron. It seems to me that you are the guy that seems to swallow all the nonsense you read.
Remember, Obamacare health plans now include mental health care as well
USE IT…….If you still have a family around, they deserve better
The moron is you. You are blind in one eye and cant see out of the other and have a problem with TRUTH. Its ok because this is a spiritual problem with you and you live and will continue – to live in a dark wet place for know but a nice warm one is coming if you do not understand Facts and the reason they are.
Glorify Gates wow and I suppose Fauci too? Pelosi up your alley and Soros? Yes they are all fine wonderful outstanding citizens.
I pray you will have your heart pricked so your eyes and ears are uncovered and you are able to understand insight and wisdom because right now you are a vegetable growing in fertilizer
The BMGF, and several partners, have been accused of testing these vaccines on people in third-world and lightly-regulated countries. These experiments have allegedly been given without consent and resulted in deaths
How is no journalist reporting that millions of people from around the world are in his comments saying they want nothing to do with his corruption. Japan, Morocco, Germany,
Indonesia, Italy, Africa…

Ultimately, these health campaigns, under the guise of saving lives, have relocated large scale clinical trials of untested or unapproved drugs to developing markets where administering drugs is less regulated and cheaper.
Translated: Bill Gates is accused of testing unapproved drugs on unsuspecting poor people so he could save money, gather data, and potentially profit off of a patented vaccine. And he’s killing people in the process.
Further, some of Bill Gates’ ‘charitable’ efforts have come under scrutiny. The Nation recently published an article detailing the shadows that have lurked beneath Gates’ philanthropy.
They mention that Bill Gates donated $80 million to the private school his children attend. While that money is counted in his total donation numbers, he stands to gain personal benefit from them.
He’s also ‘donated’ to highly-profitable corporations, such as IBM and NBC. Gates has even donated to a laundry list of companies in which he holds stock.

To top it all off, Bill Gates developed a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after he was convicted of sex crimes. According to The New York Times, Gates hung out at the sex trafficker’s notorious Manhattan townhouse several times, once staying late into the night. He even rode in Epstein’s jet.
Conclusion
While the notoriously private billionaire has never been convicted of any blatant wrongdoing, there’s more than enough evidence to cast doubt upon his intentions.
Bill Gates might donate billions of dollars, but it appears as though a generous chunk of that money goes to advancing his own causes. Perhaps he can rationalize some of his tactics, but at the very least, you should think twice before assuming one of the richest men in the world has your best interests in mind.

You have TDS
The good news I am not stupid, nor a communist, nor a reprobate and Lascivious creature who thinks Gates and Biden are wonderful people. Amen to TS and by the way “God Love Ya”
Stop lying, Trump has never been convicted of anything… just falsely politically accused by Democrat criminals/Hitlerites…
Only you Germansmith use Obamacare Not Me. I wouldnt use it. BTW: Those who actually pay for it dont, but thats what parasites do they latch on to anything for a blood source.
Suggestion: Try Jesus He died for you and me. He shed His blood and doesnt mind sharing it with you, the rest of us in America do. Perhaps the Blood of Jesus will give you the spiritual transfusion you need to clear out the spiritual deadness flowing through your veins.
