Aristocracy On the trail of Hugh Grosvenor, a golden bachelor with 13,000 million euros and 15,000 hectares in Ciudad Real
Hugh Grosvenor More land than the queen and 26 years: the greatest heir to the United Kingdom
His family had been investing in Spain since the 1990s, but Hugh Grosvenor (31) has decided to put an end to this long stage.
The seventh Duke of Westminster belongs to one of the most powerful dynasties in
the United Kingdom and, despite his youth, he is
one of the largest landowners in his country.
However, the
estimated fortune of 12,000 million euros
is not due solely to his excellent social position, but to a set of business decisions made by his father, Gerald Grosvenor.
In 1996, the sixth Duke of Westminster launched his Spanish project through the Grosvenor Estate real estate agency.
After his death in 2016, it was his son Hugh Grosvenor who inherited
this empire that owns more than 1,500 properties in 60 countries. Now, according to
El Confidencial,
the company will cease its efforts to boost its Spanish business, leaving aside urban projects in Madrid ,
specifically in the Salamanca and Chamberí neighborhoods
, which had excited him in the past.
Sources in his environment have reported that it is a decision motivated by the lack of amortization of his urban projects.
Its Spanish subsidiary generated amounts that, if they were not in deficit
, were derisory.
For this reason, the young businessman has decided to
focus his efforts on cities like Paris or London,
where the forecasts for the real estate market are more desirable.
Single and on the market
Whether in Madrid, London or Tokyo
, Hugh Grosvenor is one of the most sought after gold bachelors in the world.
Born in 1991 in Westminster, he is the only son in his family, which is why he has inherited the title.
However, both the duke and his sisters,
two older and one younger, have equal shares in the family business.
However, he is the main visible face of the dukedom and the most mediatic in the family.
Godfather of the future King of the United Kingdom, Prince George, has a close relationship with the Windsors.
In 2012, Hughie (as he is known in his environment), enjoyed a massive birthday
organized by his father at a cost of six million euros
.
To celebrate his 21-year-old coming of age, the aristocrat surrounded himself with more than 500 renowned guests, including his then-friend Prince Harry.
Until the arrival of the pandemic, it was common to see the duke with princes William and Harry.
A large part of these appointments took place in his exclusive La Garganta
hunting estate
, a space of more than 15,000 hectares located in Ciudad Real that his father acquired on his day and that he continues to manage to date.
It is the
largest reserve in Spain and aristocrats and kings from all over the world come to it
.
De facto, it was the place where Don Juan Carlos met Corinna Larsen.

As for the
young man's love life
, he had an on-and-off relationship for years with

hunting
, cricket and soccer.
