A Formula 1 car on the living room wall, a private cinema and a wall that collapsed in a flood: inside Otávio Mesquita's R$ 7.5 million mansion in Morumbi

Visitors to Brazilian TV host Otávio Mesquita's home in Morumbi, an upscale neighborhood in São Paulo's South Zone, come face to face with something you don't see in just any living room: the original chassis of the Jordan EJ13, the car Giancarlo Fisichella drove to victory at the 2003 Brazilian Formula 1 Grand Prix, mounted on the wall. According to Caras Brasil, citing UOL, the SBT host paid about 100,000 euros for the relic, now valued at more than R$ 800,000.

The mansion covers 900 square meters and is worth more than R$ 7.5 million. Besides the car, the house features a private cinema, a large garden, a games area and a professional pool table. It was on the grounds that the family celebrated, in June 2026, the 15th birthday of Pietro, the host's youngest son.

It hasn't always been a party. In 2019, a heavy storm brought down the back wall, and mud and debris destroyed the pool and gourmet area. Mesquita funded a containment and modernization project, and the property was fully restored. According to the magazine, the host's fortune comes from decades in television and an inheritance from his father — he has never publicly disclosed its exact size.
