Barney Then there's Bains de Mer - worth a Google.

Monaco's royal family (Grimaldi), run by a 'Kelly' - were smart enough to joint venture with Qatar.

Quatar owns airlines and football clubs, and oil production; together, a financial monstrosity (dynasty!) has been created.

With new money - and Mediteranian history...


Barney If you mean the Prince's Palace of Monaco - perhaps not.

But a large proportion of this property is open to the public, and is really an administrative headquarters.

The Grimaldi family has much more opulent properties and residences.

Mainly in Monte Carlo, the French Riviera and Italy.


honey!oh sugar sugar. I wouldn't call the Monaco residence particularly lavish.
Barney Yes, in 1982, Princess Grace (Kelly) died of injuries sustained in a car accident in Monaco.
