Beckhams buy 36-millon-pound Versace palace

David Beckham and Victoria Beckham have bought late style guru Versace's 36 million pound palace.

The 'Casa Casuarina', which was built in 1930, had cost 6 million pounds in 1992 when Versace bought it and has unobstructed sea views and a mosaic-tiled pool lined with 24-carat gold, the Daily Express reported.

Versace, who was gunned down on the 10-bedroom palatial residence's doorstep in 1997 by a serial killer, had spent another 20 million expanding and remodeling it.

Victoria is a close friend of Versace's designer sister, Donatella.
