Confessions of a Shopaholic

Former spouse diva - Philip to choose their own homes in Miami preparing for a long time. Take into account all the features of the location and the local climate.Why the choice fell on Philippe luxury apartment in the fashionable "Majestic Tower" (5 - b) - a luxury residential complex in one of the richest areas of Miami - Bal Harbour, you can easily guess. Directly opposite the "Majestic" is a luxury shopping mall "Bal Harbour shops." So for the new clothes shopaholic Kirkorov known to drive - just run across the road from the house. The spacious apartments are decorated Philip not only to him but to his native aunt Marie Kirkorov - she has been on the homeowners. By the way, so did the next-door neighbor Kirkorov - Christina Aguilera : It also has an apartment in "Majestic" (8). The owner of the apartment is listed, except for the Christina, her mother - Alla Pugacheva. Christine is often seen on the public beach at the house along with her ​​husband - Mikhail Zemtsov . In addition to an apartment in Bal Harbour, Kirkorov birth to daughter had got a beautiful mansion in another prestigious Miami Beach - La Gorce (5 - a). It is a quiet respectable place, where there is no high-rises, and the only private home overlooking the golf course.

Byudzhetnitsa

Very pragmatic choice for real estate in Miami came Zhanna Friske (4). Singer wisely judged that pay thousands of dollars for its proximity to the ocean suites - unprofitable. And bought a modest apartment in the "budget" apartment complex on the third line. Joan also chooses shopping easier - it is often seen on the street with shops not brand names. Frisco can easily go to the store and vintage clothing "hang" there for an hour.

Richly

The richest area of Miami called the famous Fisher Island, enclosed on all sides by water. Get there to the mere mortal is unrealistic - right cross to the coveted coast have only homeowners on the island. Estate there own Igor Sharp (3), Pavel Bure (12). 
addition Bure, settled in Miami and other players: Sergei Fedorov (13), Alexei Zhamnov (14), Alexei Morozov (15), Vyacheslav Butsaev (16). Most of their living space - it is a residence (luxurious multi-room apartments) in high-rise. And here's another sports star - Anna Kournikova , according to the foreign press, his luxury villa in Miami Sunset Island recently sold, although she had lived there for almost ten years (11).

Recluse

The only person who kept apart from the close-knit "community" of Russian stars in Miami, is Valery Leontiev (7). Even in the distant 90's Valery Yakovlevich got a villa in a quiet rayonchik Coral Gables - from her to Miami Beach, a half-hour drive.Leontiev loves solitude and spends the evening in the company of his official wife Lucy yes with a book by the pool. Bustling the Miami party foreign to him.
