Will this be well received by his investors? While his company is facing bankruptcy, real estate juggler Rene Benko treated himself to a shopping trip. Of course, quite appropriately in a private jet.
While dozens of experts are trying to prevent the collapse of the ailing Signa Group, its founder is apparently busy spending money. According to the “Bild” newspaper, Benko was discovered on a weekend trip with his wife Nathalie and their children. We took the private jet to Barcelona to go shopping there.First real estate company to go bankrupt, Benko gets into jet Things are going extremely well in the group at the moment: On Friday, Signa Real Estate Management Germany was the first of around 1,000 real estate companies to file for bankruptcy. Before that, several trading companies had already gone bankrupt. Benko’s personal assets are also said to be not in good shape. The Benko Family Private Foundation, based in Innsbruck, is said to have “only” a few hundred thousand euros available. The supposedly third-richest Austrian is said to be in the chalk with this foundation for 20 million euros. In a luxury hotel on an exclusive shopping mile But this is apparently not reason enough for the real estate juggler to forego luxurious trips. While the crisis meeting was still ongoing on Friday, Benko got on a private Bombardier Global Express jet with his wife Nathalie (33) and his offspring. When they arrived in Barcelona, the family stayed in a luxury hotel right on the Spanish city’s most exclusive shopping boulevard. On Sunday afternoon we went back to Tyrol. The investor is said to have been seen with many shopping bags. As the “Krone” reported, other, significantly larger parts of the empire are said to be on the brink. The weekend was the last chance to find risk-taking investors in order to save the company network and thousands of jobs. As can be seen from the leaked concept by restructuring expert Arndt Geiwitz, around 500 million euros will be needed by the end of the month. Benko luxury yacht is to change hands for 40 million euros. Meanwhile, Benko is trying to sell off private assets. He offered works of art by Pablo Picasso and Jean-Michel Basquiat for sale. He probably wants to part with his mega yacht “Roma”. This is being offered on the platform www.alphayachting.com for almost 40 million euros. The floating luxury temple is 62 meters long and reaches a top speed of 17 knots. Among other things, it will have a 27 meter long water slide, a home cinema and several sun decks. She offers space for 12 guests and 14 crew members.
