The lands obtained over 3 centuries ago lie at the heart of the multibillion-dollar state of the family of the Dukes of Westminster. It is thanks to them that the Grosvenor dynasty today is one of the richest in the United Kingdom.

The sixth duke of Westminster died last year, he bequeathed all his financial fortune to his son Hugh.

The family owns land in the Grosvenor Square area. Since members of the Grosvenor dynasty did not want to sell this asset, the US Embassy, which is in the area, is forced to look for another place on the map of London.

The real estate company, founded by the Grosvenor family, has the corresponding name - Grosvenor Group. In addition to an impressive list of available for purchase land and buildings, it is known for its projects to update the urban environment.

Perhaps the main pride of the Grosvenor family is the family estate Eaton Hall, which belongs to the dynasty from the 15th century. It was here that the newly-made billionaire Hugh Grosvenor magnificently celebrated his 21st birthday. In the press, it is written that 800 guests were invited to the holiday, and the cost of the celebration was 5 million pounds sterling.
