In the second episode of Who Is America?, Sacha Baron Cohen introduced yet another new character: Gio Monaldo, a white-haired, bearded Italian billionaire who dupes Bachelor star Corinne Olympios into recording a pro-child soldier PSA and claiming she spent a month helping kids with Ebola in Sierra Leone.
Like Baron Cohen’s other characters, Monaldo has a fairly basic online footprint including his own Twitter and Facebook accounts, but his most interesting internet presence is the first Google result that shows up when you search his name: a press release from last September that’s titled “Italian Billionaire Gio Monaldo Purchases Tragonisi Island.”Here’s the full release:
TRAGONISI ISLAND, Greece, Sept. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/
Royal Blue Real Estate today announced the sale of Tragonisi Island, a gorgeous 90 acre isle in the Peloponnese. Purchase terms were not disclosed but the island had previously been listed at €7.2 million. The buyer was identified as Gio Monaldo, the reclusive Italian billionaire known for his lavish real estate purchases.
Tragonisi Island will undoubtedly be one of the crown jewels in his collection, an exclusive, unspoiled island surrounded by shimmering, gorgeous blue waters. Located just off the Grecian coast, Tragonisi Island offers breathtaking panaromic views of its neighboring isles and is primed for both commercial and private development. Athens is a 45 minute boat ride away, while the quaint harbor village of Korfos is a 15 minute trip.
“Today’s closing speaks to the unique and exquisite beauty of this island,” said Royal Blue’s Russell Downs.
“We congratulate Mr. Monaldo on his purchase and wish him much success and happiness with the property.”For further press enquiries about the Tragonisi sale please contact Tim Coleman at 323.880.0852.
