However, selling his house, a mansion once owned by Madonna

A mansion by the water in Miami, once owned by Madonna, has been put on the market for $ 31.75 million by its current owner – a dog named Gunther.

The German Shepherd – officially Gunther VI – is the latest in a series of dogs to benefit from the will of dog-loving Countess Karlotta Liebenstein.

The Biscayne Bay House is just one of the holdings of a trust that is now worth nearly $ 500 million.

Gunther is a jetset world traveler and his main home is in Italy’s Tuscany. The trust that has overseen four Gunther’s interests since the Countess’ death in 1992 decided that given the hot real estate market, it was a good time to sell the Miami property.

When Madonna sold the eight-room house two decades ago, she received only $ 7.5 million.

Carla Riccitelli is one of Gunther’s most important caretakers and sits on a board that administers the trust and decides when to buy and sell real estate. The group has even bought sports teams, including a men’s soccer team and a women’s swimming team, and yes, Gunther played on the field and participated in the competitions, she said.

Real estate agent Ruthie Assouline snatched the listing along with her husband, Ethan, for the 1.2-acre property.

The Assoulins are used to multi-million dollar listings, but this one seemed incredible.

“When it was explained that this house was bought by this German shepherd, I thought, ‘What are you talking about? I do not follow you,'” Ruthie Assouline said.

“He lives in Madonna’s former bedroom,” she said of her dog client. “He is literally sleeping with a view of the most magnificent view in an Italian special bed in the former bedroom of the biggest pop star in the world.”

A chef makes Gunther’s breakfast every morning with premium meats, fresh vegetables and rice. Sometimes he has caviar. He travels by private jet and works on obedience skills daily with his trainer.

Back in Italy, Riccitelli has two other dogs living with Gunther – his favorite playmates.

But she also has six cats and a couple of chickens. “He’s still learning to be with six cats,” Riccitelli said.
