About Carlos de Beistegui
- Carlos de Beistegui e Yturbe (31 January 1895 – 17 January 1970), also known as Charlie de Beistegui, was an eccentric French-born Spanish multi-millionaire art collector and interior decorator who was one of the most flamboyant characters of mid-20th-century European life.
- His ball at the Palazzo Labia in Venice in 1951 is still described as "the party of the century".
- Beistegui was often referred to as "The Count of Monte Cristo".He is not to be confused with his namesake uncle (1863–1953), whose collection of notable 18th- and 19th-century paintings was donated to the Louvre.
