Ghosn purchased the Beirut residence in 2012 for $8.75 million through a Nissan subsidiary company and invested $6 million in renovations, the New York Times reported. Through Nissan, he also reportedly purchased properties in Amsterdam, Tokyo, Paris, New York, and Rio de Janeiro.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the house, which Ghosn bought with his second wife, is adorned with his portraits and antiquities. "Two ancient sarcophagi, unearthed during the remodeling, were visible through a glass floor leading to a wine cellar," Sean McLain, Phred Dvorak, Sam Schechner, and Patricia Kowsmann wrote for the Journal.
