A few years ago, a Nigerian property merchant stunned the world with a magnificent private residential edifice in the very highbrow Park View Estate in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The mansion comprising 16 rooms is modelled after the ancient Bastille Palace in Paris, France.
The breathtaking castle fit only for the world’s wealthiest royals is valued at $12 million and named Palacio de Okeowo.
Sir Olu Okeowo is a highly respected Real Estate Guru and philanthropist.
A Knight of the John Wesley Anglican Church, he is the Chief Executive Officer of the popular construction and Real Estate Brand, Gilbratar Constructions Nigeria.
Popularly regarded as the King of Luxury, he is indeed a lover of exquisite luxurious things ranging from clothing, cars, and residential estates in choice locations of the world.
A peek into his sprawling garage reveals vintage cars including fleets of Rolls Royce (4 Phantoms and 2 Ghosts), Bentley (1 Mulsanne and 1 Continental GT) Mercedes G-Wagon, Range Rover, Cadillac Escalade, to mention a few.
For his taste for luxury, Sir Olu Okeowo is likened to the late Dehinde Antonio Fernandez.
The respected Anglican Knight is equally renowned for his philanthropic gestures as he continues to impact the lives of the less privileged.
Even if he is tagged the King of Luxury, he is an impulsive giver who has empowered many and impacted many more.
