Aggie Grey's in Apia, Samoa has been sold by Aggie Grey's grandchildren and other family shareholders for $50 million.
Grey, born Agnes Swann, was a half English-half Samoan woman who opened the hotel in 1933. She hosted many notable actors, including Marlon Brando, and was friends with American writer James Michener.
Her hotel is now managed by Sheraton, a 175-room establishment which was completely rebuilt after a devastating cyclone in 2012. The sale includes the hotel's Black Sands casino.
