Tina Turner, husband snap up vast US$76M estate on Lake Zurich
Rock 'n' roll icon Tina Turner and her husband have reportedly bought a 70-million-Swiss-franc (US$76 million) estate with 10 buildings, pond, stream, swimming pool and boat dock on Lake Zurich.
The 82-year-old star's husband, Erwin Bach, was quoted in daily Handelszeitung as saying the couple acquired the century-old, 24,000-square-metre (260,000-square-foot) property in the village of Staefa in September.
Bach said the purchase was a logical step because they both have Swiss nationality now and "feel very comfortable in Switzerland." He added that "due to the pandemic and its consequences we -- like many other Swiss -- unfortunately are refraining from travel."
Swiss news reports say they will be nearby neighbours to Swiss tennis superstar Roger Federer, who reportedly also looked at the property before settling on a different one further east along the lake.
Turner, known for such hits as "Proud Mary" and "What's Love Got To Do With It" and dynamic on-stage performances, married German music executive Bach in 2013 after a long relationship. Born Anna Mae Bullock on Nov. 26, 1939, in Brownsville, Tennessee, she has lived in Switzerland with him since 1994.
Turner and Bach have rented a home in the town of Kuesnacht, closer to the city of Zurich, for years.
