Both Gal Gadot and her husband, Jaron Varsano, are Israeli, which was one of the many things they bonded over during their courtship. Varsano is about 10 years older than Gadot, and by the time they got hitched, he had already built a name for himself as a real estate developer. Even so, his relationship with Gadot inspired one of his most lucrative endeavors.
In a 2011 interview for Totally Jewish, Gadot explained how the couple married their personal and professional lives. She said that bouncing between Israel and the United States was taking its toll on their relationship. “We found ourselves staying in hotels all the time. We wanted to feel at home, which is when we discovered these apartments within a hotel in Los Angeles. It became the inspiration for Yaron’s hotel, The Varsano.”
The super-swanky Varsano, which Jaron owned with his brother, Guy, was sold for more than $22 million in 2015, reported the Daily Mail. The buyer was Roman Abramovich, who owns the U.K.’s Chelsea soccer team. How’s that for a power play?
