I hate to spring it on them but this pooch is worth more than all the whales on Hive, the whole Hive ecosystem for that matter. His latest decision to sell his Florida mansion would make even Madonna blush considering the low price of 7.5 million he bought it from her for.
Gunther the German shepherd spent a recent morning playing with his tennis ball, rolling in the grass, slobbering a little and napping a lot. Later, he had a "meeting" with the real estate agents selling his Miami mansion that his handlers bought from Madonna.

The Tuscan-style villa with views of Biscayne Bay went on sale Wednesday for $31.75 million — a whopping markup from the purchase two decades ago from the pop star for $7.5 million. The home also boasts a gilded framed portrait of Gunther IV over the living room fireplace.
When he's not out jet setting in his private jet he spends time at the mansion running around the expansive property, swimming in the pool then sleeping in the best of Italian made beds overlooking magnificent views of Biscayne Bay in what once was Madonna's master bedroom. He awakens every morning to the finest foods made by his chef.
A chef cooks his breakfast each morning made of the finest meat, fresh vegetables and rice. Sometimes he enjoys caviar, but there's never any kibble in sight. He travels by private jet, works on obedience skills daily with his trainer and sleeps in a lavish round, red velvet bed overlooking the bay.
"He literally sleeps overlooking the most magnificent view in an Italian custom bed in the former bedroom of the greatest pop star in the world."
He even owns his own sports teams and yes he gets to play on the fields and attend the meets.
Carla Riccitelli is one of Gunther's main caretakers and is on a board that manages the trust now worth almost $500 million, deciding when to buy and sell real estate. The group has even purchased sports teams, including a men's soccer team and women's swimming team and, yes, Gunther played on the field and attended the meets, she said.
He appears to still have his struggles in life, apparently he doesn't care much for cats.
As luxurious as Gunther's life sound, he still has drama and hardships like everyone. Back in Italy, Riccitelli has two other dogs that live with Gunther — his favorite playmates.
But she also has six cats and a couple of chickens.
Let's just say it's a work in progress, Riccitelli said.
"He's still learning to be with six cats."
