Under-fire BBC chairman Richard Sharp owns a £50million mansion in one of Britain’s most expensive streets.
He bought it for £10m in 2001 before a revamp including a super-basement with a pool.
Following his divorce, Sharp used the home to throw lavish parties organised by Gabriella Reljanovic.
He was Rishi Sunak’s boss at Goldman Sachs and donates his £160,000 BBC salary to charity.
Sharp bought the seven-bedroom mansion in London from a member of the Rothschild family.
