Seattle-based Microsoft founder Bill Gates - and the second richest man in the world - remarkably , does not have an excess of properties. Previously, when his horse -loving daughter participated in Florida, the multi- billionaire rented houses for his family rather than buying.
No longer. According to the South Florida property records and Extra Gossip , Gates now has a place in Wellington , Florida , paying U.S. $ 8.7 million in cash. The Mediterranean style residence is very different and much smaller than the high-tech compound and modern Gates extends over 5 acres with 4650 square meters of living space on Lake Washington , about 13 kilometers east of Seattle.
The doors of the house just purchased Wellington is reportedly a residence he and his family rented last year in January when her teenage daughter participated in the Winter Equestrian Festival. Built in 2010, the field has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms with 670 square meters, open floor plan . Horse-friendly features like a 20 stall barn and arena jumping were probably part of the Gates decision to buy the house .
Gates is not the only purchase in Wellington businessman. New York Mayor Bloomberg and founder Michael Bloomberg has a house there, and the former owner of the LA Dodgers , Frank McCourt .

In addition , most real estate transactions are made in cash , because " the bank still with enough restrictions" in providing credit , he said.
According to the Miami Association of Realtors , international sales accounted for 60 percent of total sales of resale and 90 percent of new construction .
A typical case of this flow of foreign money that comes to the rescue of the market is the Icon Brickell luxury condominiums , most of which was held by lenders when the real estate market collapsed in 2008 and 2009.
The complex of 1,800 units , the work of the developer Related Group , who until recently lived very low sales hours , has seen a marked improvement in the business opportunity that involves falling prices .
Just over a year after a group of banks became owner of two of the three towers that make up the Icon Brickell , has already sold more than 930 units of these , about three-quarters of the condos for sale, according to information gathered by The Miami Herald.
Buyers are mainly Argentines and Brazilians the most of these luxury properties Icon , whose initial asking price fell as much as 40 percent are held.
