Christian Jagodzinski sold Telebook, Germany’s first online book retailer, to Amazon in 1998. He founded Villazzo, a luxury vacation home rental agency, in November 2002 and is the company’s president. He’s also the CEO of Desdemona Capital, a real estate and private equity investment company.
10 Palm Avenue is part of Villazzo’s portfolio and is listed on the company’s website. The property includes a 130-foot heated pool with a Jacuzzi, grotto and waterfall; a beach volleyball court; gym; and movie theater.
The eight bedroom, six-bathroom and two-half-bathroom mansion has 9,893 square feet and sits on a 35,348-square-foot lot, according to Miami-Dade County property records.
Jago Tech Investments LLC paid $2.25 million for the site in February 1999. Jagodzinski is listed as a manager on the owner’s corporate filings. The house was built in 2002, and faces Biscayne Bay toward South Beach.
