EOS parent company CEO Brendan Blumer recently spent $172.8 million to purchase a luxury home in Italy

BlockBeats News, March 26th, according to the Italian media L'Union Sarda report, Brendan Blumer (BB), CEO of EOS parent company Block.one and Chairman of Bullish, recently purchased the Romazzino villa for a record-breaking 160 million euros (approximately 172.8 million dollars). Excluding the Villa Certosa, this transaction is the highest amount in the history of real estate in Sardinia and even Italy.

The villa located in Romazzino is one of the most luxurious residences on the Emerald Coast (Costa Smeralda) and was the former residence of Saudi Arabia's former oil minister Ahmed Zaki Yamani. The mansion boasts 350 meters of coastline, sits on 2.3 hectares of land, features 28 bedrooms, 35 bathrooms, spacious terraces, two private beach accesses, two exclusive docks, three swimming pools, and approximately 23,000 square meters of gardens and amenities.

Brendan Blumer founded the online game virtual item automated trading platform Gamecliff at the age of 14. In 2010, he launched Okay.com, creating a collaborative data-sharing ecosystem for the Asia-Pacific real estate market, which later became Hong Kong's largest digital real estate agency. In 2017, he co-founded Block.one with Dan Larimer (BM), focusing on blockchain technology development.

BlockBeats Note: After founder BM's departure, almost all of Block.one's core team belonged to BB. BB's mother, Nancy Kasparek, is in charge of the investment business EOSVC, while his sister, Abby Blumer, oversees all of Block.one's operations and marketing. The remaining executives are mostly labeled with "Iowa" (BB's hometown), "Hong Kong" (BB's work location for fifteen years), and "real estate software development company" (BB's previous industry).
