Guillaume Patry addresses billionaire rumors and reveals luxury villa

Former professional gamer turned entertainer Guillaume Patry has addressed the "billionaire" rumors surrounding him. Following reports that he purchased Bitcoin when it was worth less than 1 million won, interest in his net worth has surged again after he revealed a villa in Yangpyeong County equipped with a swimming pool.

On the 633rd episode of KBS2's 'The Return of Superman' aired on the 19th, Guillaume joined the show as a new family member alongside his 36-month-old daughter, Leah.

Guillaume, who first made a name for himself in Korea as a StarCraft professional gamer, is currently active as a full-time investor. He has garnered significant attention as an early mover in the virtual asset market, revealing that he purchased Bitcoin during a period when its price had not even reached 1 million won.

His investment history was mentioned again during the broadcast.

RalRal could not hide her astonishment, exclaiming, "You bought Bitcoin when it was less than 1 million won? It's 92.73 million won now!" Kim Jong Min also brought up Guillaume's wealth, drawing laughter when he remarked, "I heard his marriage proposal was, 'I won't let you worry about money, even if nothing else.'"

Guillaume's current lifestyle is also of an extraordinary scale.

He revealed his villa in Yangpyeong County, which features a swimming pool. The villa shown on the program caught eyes with its ample space, perfect for a family to spend relaxing time.

In response, the production team directly asked Guillaume about the "multi-billion won asset theory" that has been steadily circulating online.

While acknowledging that "various numbers are circulating" in the public eye, Guillaume drew a line by stating, "I have never made a huge amount of money, nor have I ever become completely rich."

However, he explained his current economic situation relatively honestly.

"I have enough to live comfortably even if I retire," Guillaume said. "If you invest steadily and well for a long time, you can afford something like a villa."

While he did not directly confirm the rumors of being a "multi-billion won asset holder," he essentially did not deny the fact that he possesses significant financial leeway.

At this, Kim Jong Min quipped, "So you really are a billionaire," turning the set into a sea of laughter.

The notable part of Guillaume's remarks is that rather than flaunting immense wealth, he emphasized long-term investment results and a stable foundation for living. In particular, with his history as a known early Bitcoin investor, public curiosity regarding his actual asset scale is growing once again.

However, Guillaume did not disclose his specific net worth or the exact amount of Bitcoin he holds on the broadcast. Therefore, it is difficult to conclude that the rumors of assets worth tens of billions of won or the term "billionaire" discussed online are absolute facts.

Guillaume Patry has expanded his field of activity from professional gamer to entertainer and full-time investor. Now, by joining 'The Return of Superman' with his 36-month-old daughter Leah, he has begun to reveal not just his life as an investor, but his daily life as a father.

Attention is now focused on exactly how much wealth constitutes the "level where one can live comfortably even after retirement" as described by the man who once drew attention for his early Bitcoin investment, and how he will continue his investment journey in the future.
