Legend Samuel Eto did something special when he decided to spend all of $22 million to buy the most luxurious villa in Milan to serve his family’s needs to enjoy life

According to reports from Corriere Dello Sport, Samuel Eto’o, the former striker for Chelsea and Everton, has purportedly invested a significant sum of money to acquire an Italian villa. Eto’o allegedly purchased the £18.5 million mansion in Italy despite warnings from locals about the so-called Tutankhamun curse.

The Cameroonian footballer is said to have acquired Villa Altachiara, a historic property located in Portofino, northern Italy, in close proximity to Genoa.

The villa was previously owned by Lord Carnarvon, a figure notorious for his association with the alleged ‘Curse of the Pharaoh.’

The history of Villa Altachiara dates back to February 16, 1923, when Lord Carnarvon and the renowned English archaeologist Howard Carter famously entered the supposed ‘cursed’ burial site of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, where they discovered his tomb.

It is noted that out of the 58 individuals present at the unveiling of Tutankhamun’s long-lost mausoleum, eight reportedly met their demise within a span of twelve years.

Despite the rumored curse surrounding the property’s history, Eto’o reportedly proceeded with the acquisition of Villa Altachiara, adding another chapter to the storied past of this historic Italian estate.
