The life of  Emerald millionaires

Is there a place in the world where there is such a concentration of millionaires per square meter? Where the price of a property is comparable to that of a plane? Where you can stroll along the promenade among movie stars, politicians, owners of factories and journalists that act like ordinary people?

The most luxurious place in Sardinia is certainly the Costa Smeralda.

White sandy beaches, shallow bays that divide the coast in coves where you can clearly see the seabed even at 5-10 meters. The color of the Emerald Coast sea varies from turquoise to emerald and the landscape sorrounding the bays consists of hills covered with fragrant juniper and rocks with unusual shapes sculptured by the secular work of water and wind. All this is part of the Costa Smeralda.

The Costa Smeralda are luxury resorts created about fifty years ago by his ambitious young Royal Highness Prince Shah Karim Aga Khan, born in Geneva of British nationality, descendant from the Prophet and Imam recognized the Ishmaelites Nizari (the sect of murderers) who yealy trubute him with isweight in gold, platinm and diamonds.

In different times the coast was visited by many famous people including the Persian Shah family, Princess Margaret of England, Greta Garbo, Gianni Agnelli, Jacqueline Kennedy, Juan Carlos, Harrison Ford and Sting and leaders of public life, who became regular visitors. Such high ranking personalities have made this corner of Sardinia their second home because their need for confidentiality and privacy were understood and respected by the locals.
