I had read that the house had belonged to Karl Lagerfeld and a couple of years before his death, Pss Caroline bought it from his good friend.
Apparently, the story is different.
Built by an english baron, it was later bought by the Société des Bains de Mer, the company founded by Charles III that runs most of Monaco major estates and hotels - hOtel de Paris, Hermitage, the Casino and the Opéra, etc.

is the text in swedish ? I had to use the translator.
It was occuppied by the Germans during WW2 and between 1986 and 1988 it was renovated for a cost of US$ 14.000.000.00, paid by the german government.
Could it be a compensation of war 40 years later ?
If so, given Louis II dubious position during the war, one may say Rainier made a very good deal.
The house is for rent (POA if you please) for weeks/months or more, and Lagerfeld was the last known long-term tenant.
Could be an option for this summer if I would win this week Euromillions jackpot
