As pressure mounts over their involvement in Britain's PPE procurement scandal, lingerie tycoon-turned-Tory-peer Michelle Mone and her husband Doug Barrowman have acquired a stunning £10 million property in one of Florida's most exclusive enclaves.
The Ultimate Escape
The couple, facing demands to repay £122 million from controversial government contracts, have purchased a lavish home on the private island of Ultima within the prestigious Boca Bay community. This ultra-secure paradise, accessible only by boat, offers the ultimate retreat from Westminster's growing fury.
Island Luxury Amid Political Storm
Their new Florida haven boasts every imaginable luxury while ministers back in London intensify calls for financial accountability. The property acquisition raises serious questions about wealth and responsibility during one of the most contentious procurement sagas of the pandemic era.
From Westminster to Waterfront
Known as 'Baroness Bra' for founding the Ultimo lingerie brand, Mone's dramatic fall from grace sees her trading political circles for palm-fringed shores. The move comes as her husband faces mounting pressure over the £122 million paid to their company, PPE Medpro, for protective equipment that was later deemed unusable by health authorities.
Exclusive Enclave, Escalating Controversy
The Boca Bay community represents one of Florida's most sought-after addresses, featuring:
- Private island security with limited access
- Luxury waterfront properties
- World-class amenities and privacy
- Celebrity and billionaire neighbours
While the couple settles into their multi-million pound sanctuary, the Department of Health and Social Care continues its legal battle to recover public funds, creating a stark contrast between their tropical lifestyle and the ongoing political fallout in Britain.
