a few weeks ago, Investigation Yuri Milner asked if he owned directly or indirectly the property where the royal family resided on Vancouver Island.
The answer came from Alice McGillion of New York-based public relations firm Rubinstein. We can officially confirm, as we have always done in the past, that neither Yuri Milner, nor any member of his family, nor any affiliated entity of him or his family owns the Millflowers Mansion on Vancouver Island. or any other property in Canada.
McGillion referred us to the interview by music producer Foster to daily Mail He claims that Milner is not the owner of the mansion.
However, documents from the Pandora Papers reveal that the Andromeda Trust – the entity that owns Mill Flowers Mansion – was not always that name.
Until February 2016, it was called the Yury Milner Trust. (The spellings Yuri and Yuri were used in the leaked documents.)
The leak contains an internal letter written by Milner’s attorney in 2018, explaining the origins of the trusts: The person who contributed the assets was Yuri Milner

If you have exclusive use of something, you basically have all the advantages of owning it without having to legally own it.
Attorney Jamison Firestone confirms.
Well, he might not be the owner, but he might be the ultimate beneficiary, which is basically the same as far as we’re concerned.
