Meet Pankaj and Radhika Oswal, the dynamic Indo-Swiss billionaire couple behind the transformation of ‘Villa Vari,’ now ranked among the world’s top 10 most expensive houses, valued at an astounding $200 million.
Originally owned by Greek businesswoman and heiress Christina Onassis, Villa Vari in Gingins, Switzerland, has undergone a lavish makeover by the Oswals. The couple enlisted the expertise of renowned interior designer Jeffrey Wilkes, known for his work with iconic establishments like Oberoi Rajvilas, Oberoi Udaivilas, Mandarin Oriental, and Leela Hotels.
Spread over 40,000 square meters and boasting stunning views of Mt Blanc’s snow-capped peaks, Villa Vari is the largest property in Canton Of Vaud, just 15 minutes from Geneva. Pankaj and Radhika Oswal, along with their talented daughters Vasundhara and Ridi, now call this bespoke countryside retreat home.
Despite a net worth exceeding $3 billion USD, the Oswal family, with a business portfolio spanning petrochemicals, real estate, fertilizers, and mining, has maintained a low profile.
Their global conglomerate, ‘Oswal Group Global,’ includes PRO Industries PTE LTD, with the largest ethanol plant in East Africa, Axis Minerals, a significant bauxite mining project in West Africa, and Burrup Fertilizers, the world’s largest liquid ammonia production company in Australia.
Now, their dream of transforming Villa Vari into an estate that reflects their Indian heritage has come to life. This $200 million masterpiece mirrors the Oswals’ style, sparkle, and excitement, offering a glimpse into their extraordinary world of luxury and accomplishment.
