Michelle Mone Buys £10M Florida Flat Amid £122M PPE Repayment Court Order

News summary

Michelle Mone and her husband Douglas Barrowman have purchased a £10 million, four-bedroom, five-bathroom apartment on Florida's exclusive Fisher Island, known as 'Billionaire Island,' despite being under pressure to repay £122 million to the UK Government following a High Court ruling related to the PPE scandal. The purchase, made in July, preceded the court order demanding repayment for substandard surgical gowns supplied during the Covid-19 pandemic by PPE Medpro, a company led by Barrowman. Fisher Island is a highly exclusive and secluded enclave accessible only by ferry, yacht, or helicopter, home to numerous wealthy individuals and celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Julia Roberts, and Jeff Bezos. The couple underwent a rigorous vetting process by the elite Fisher Island Club before their purchase was approved. Their nearly 5,000 square-foot apartment features luxury amenities including sweeping ocean views, private lift access, a state-of-the-art kitchen, and access to island facilities like a golf course, fitness center, and private marina. Despite the scandal and financial scrutiny, the couple appears to be establishing a lavish lifestyle in the United States while facing mounting pressure over the PPE repayment.
