A general view of Villa Leopolda is seen in Villefranche sur Mer on the French Riviera February 26, 2009. The deposit paid by Russian oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov to buy the villa may go to charity after the tycoon pulled out of the deal, a spokeswoman for the seller said on Wednesday. Lily Safra, the widow of billionaire banker Edmond Safra, had agreed to sell the Villa Leopolda to Prokhorov for a reported 500 million euros but the metals merchant scrapped the purchase as the financial crisis struck.
