Inside Salt Bae’s £36million palace in Istanbul with rooftop pool, gym & spa – and how you can stay there too
NUSRET Gökçe started life in a family so poor he had to drop out of school aged 10.
But now, the 39-year-old internet sensation – known as Salt Bae – counts a £36million PALACE among his property portfolio.

Macka Palace in the Sisli district of Istanbul boasts a rooftop pool, gym and a spa – and best of all is you can stay there too.
He is rumoured to have splashed £36million on the luxury Park Hyatt hotel in 2019, and moved into his own apartment within the palace that year too.
The flat was previously owned by 20th-century playwright Abdülhak Hâmid Tarhan, popularly known in Turkey as the Grand Poet.
At the time, the Instagram star said he wanted to spend more time in the Turkish city near to his mum after years of running restaurants around the world.
Although the star keeps quite about his own abode, the five-star property boasts total of 90 generously sized deluxe rooms and suites – with prices starting at around £350 per night.
According to its website, the Park Hyatt offers guests “unexpected pleasures” and claims to have “the finest food and beverage facilities” – including all-day dining at Salt Baes exclusive restaurant.
When Gökçe moved into the plush pad he claimed he had fulfilled a “dream”.
He reportedly went about remodelling the grand hotel restaurant to his own liking.
He wrote on Instagram: “I had one dream which was to have my own restaurant at my own hotel thank god one of my biggest dream coming true.
“See you at Nusret Maçka Palace.”
Outside his homeland, Gökçe is also thought to have built up his property portfolio with homes in the US, where he is often pictured by a private pool in Beverly Hills, as well as riding horses on what looks like a ranch.
And he reportedly has an enviable supercar collection including three Rolls-Royces and a Lamborghini Hurracan.
It is a far cry from his childhood – which was reportedly so poor he had to drop out of school aged 12.
Nusret’s rags-to-riches story began in a poverty-stricken suburb east of Instanbul, Turkey.
He was one of five children whose miner father spent months away working.
Speaking to The Times in 2019, Nusret said he often went to school wearing shoes and shirts that didn’t fit as his parents could afford anything else.
He claims his family took him out of school so he could help earn money and at 13 he was taken on as a butcher’s apprentice.
He recalled: “I woke up at six o’clock, two hours on the train commute and 30 minutes after the train in the bus.
“Then all day long, standing and working. No day off and no vacation.”
He also worked in steakhouses, washing dishes to work his way up from the bottom.
He told NBC in 2017: “Since I was 14, I worked more than 13 hours a day as a kitchen runner for a butcher.
“I was always wishing and wishing to open up a restaurant.”
Later he convinced a bank to lend him £2,500 so he could travel to Argentina to learn about the meat trade.
UN BAE-LIEVABLE
After years went by – during which he claims he “worked for free” to gain experience – he returned to his home city of Istanbul.
And at the age of 27, he opened his first Nusr-Et steakhouse in 2010 with just eight tables and ten employees.
Turkish tycoon Ferit Sahenk was so impressed he offered to invest, and helped Nusr-et launch outposts in Ankara and Dubai.
But his career did not really take off until a hit viral video of his now-famous “sprinkle” in January 2017.
A 36-second Instagram video called Ottoman Steak showed Gökçe theatrically slicing steak at a table.
Then holding his hand in a “cobra” pose, he lets salt flow down his forearm to season the meat.
Bruno Mars tweeted the video, which instantly went viral and earned Gökçe the title of “sexiest butcher on Instagram”.
The gimmick also earned him the nickname Salt Bae – and led to millions more followers on Instagram.

Mum’s agony after baby daughter drowns in blow-up spa while she’s at work – with girl’s brother, 6, finding body
A MUM has spoken of her agony after her toddler drowned in a blow-up spa in Queensland while she was at work.
Tahlia Brown told how her 17-months old daughter Taidyn Murphy, known as Totty, fell and drowned in the inflatable spa on September 19.
Little Totty was learning how to talk when she drowned in the family’s blow-up spa[/caption]
At the time, Tahlia’s partner Cecil Murphy, Totty’s six-year-old brother and two other children were in the family Gracemere home in Queensland in north-eastern Australia.
Totty’s brother discovered the little girl’ s lifeless body and she was rushed to a local police station where she was given CPR.
Totty was taken to Brisbane Children’s Hospital, where she was put into a medically induced coma.
Totty died the following day in Tahlia’s arms.

Alyce Pocock, a family friend, described how Tahlia blamed herself for Totty’s death, believing the little girl would have been safe if she had not been at work.
“But I’ve told her that’s ridiculous, she was at work providing for her family,” Alyce is reported as saying by Courier Mail.
“There was no crying or screaming … she [Totty] just got up on a chair and into the spa before drowning.”
The toddler, who Alyce described as “sweet” and always happy to meet new people, had just started to say new words, such as “Mumma”, “Dadda” and “puppy”.

Sadly, Alyce said Totty’s devastating passing followed a series of tragic events in Tahlia’s life, after her father, stepfather and grandfather died when she was a child.
“No parent should live to see their own child die … the pain is indescribable,” Alyce said.
The family friend has set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds for Totty’s funeral.
Alyce said that Tahlia, whose is known as Leah, Cecil and their entire family “have suffered the most unthinkable, unimaginable, unnatural, unfair, and tragic losses anyone can”.
“Baby Totty Girl, the shining light of Leah and Cecils life, she truely [sic] was the happiest, sweetest, most loving baby girl to ever enter our lives,” Alice said on the fundraising page.

“I’m here to ask you all to help Leah & Cecil in the darkest days of their lives, find some peace and comfort in being able to send our sweet baby girl off in a way she deserves.”
Police is investigating the incident and will prepare a report for the coroner.
