Houston billionaire, mega-yacht fan, Rockets owner and United States ambassador to Italy Tilman Fertitta is certainly living his best life. Fertitta is socializing with Italian aristocrats and diplomats, mingling with Italian fashion royalty, and, of course, fulfilling the diplomatic duties entrusted to him by President Donald Trump.
The most recent addition to Tilman’s extraordinary world? His participation in the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics Torch Relay in Palermo, Sicily. Fertitta donned a white running suit for his brief jaunt as a torchbearer on Monday, carrying the flame during the relay that ran from Castelvetrano to Palermo as leadup to the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
