What Made Him Haute: Helio Castroneves’ first hit the scene as a Team Penske IndyCar Series driver.

In 2009, he graced the covers of Haute Living Miami summer issue.

What Makes Him Haute Now: The former Coral Gables resident is moving a little north in the Florida panhandle. Castroneves has purchased a luxurious condo in Fort Lauderdale near the Elbo Room. The “Dancing with the Stars” champ relocated to a stylish pad at the Las Olas Beach Club oceanfront, where he will reside with his girlfriend Adriana Henao and their 1-year-old daughter. Units in this particular complex go from $800,000 to $4 million. Castroneves is very pleased with his new purchase and said that he loves the amenities and how beautiful the location is.
