WSO cribs: Beach House Edition

We’ve seen their New York homes as well as their Hamptons getaways, now it’s time to take a peek where our 1% goes to for some serious R&R.

Prestige overdose after the jump.



Point House, Lyford Cay




First off we have Point House, Louis Bacon’s Bahamas getaway set in the exclusive resort of Lyford Cay. Sitting on 3.38 acres of beach and bayfront awesomeness, the 4,700 sq. ft. Balinese-style home boasts 12 beds, 13 baths, and a commanding view of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s also for sale for $35,000,000. Waddya think monkeys?

Incidentally, Bacon also owns this pretty sweet island just off Long Island.



Villa Rothschild, Greece




With a family supposedly worth over $100 trillion, RIT Capital Partner’s chief, Lord Jacob Rothschild lords over one of the most beautiful villas on Corfu. There’s very little info on it aside from this old article, but even if 1/999999th of the rumors about their wealth were true, the place should be downright fantastic.

His son’s (Atticus Capital’s Nat Rothschild) Rio de Janeiro party pad doesn't look too bad as well.



Four Seasons resort, Hualalai




Back stateside, we have Ken Griffin’s epic Hawaiian home. While sitting on “only” 0.6 acres, Griffin’s oceanfront escape boasts 5,600 sq. ft. of living space, 4 beds, and an infinity pool big enough to fit the entire bangbros lineup. Check out all the pics HERE.



Makena, Maui




Not to be left behind, Peter Thiel also bagged himself his own piece of Hawaii. Spanning a little over an acre and with a price tag of $27 million, Thiel’s purchase was said to have broken a few real estate records down in Maui. It’s really hard to say, but I think I like this one more than Griffin’s.



Villa La Leopolda, Cap Ferrat




The house with the $500 million pricetag. Formerly owned by the late Edmond Safra, La Leopolda was built on 5 huge parcels of land overlooking the entire Riviera and is widely regarded as one of the most magnificent residences in the area. That pricetag's just f*cking ridiculous though.

Anyway, that’s it for me monkeys. I really gotta ask though; would any of you actually spend $500 million for a house? Even if I was Bill Gates circa ‘01, there's just no way in hell I'd even think about spending that much.

Either way though, if you do get a chance to build one for yourself, where would you set up? Personally, Hawaii has been looking better and better every year. Spain too.

You?

Have a good one WSO.

Come again? Your words make no sense. Enjoy the shit.
 

A great thing about Chicago is that you have a beach right in the downtown area, literally steps away from the Hancock Tower, the CBD and the Magnificent Mile. So if you own a townhouse in the Gold Coast/Streeterville neighborhood by Lake Shore Drive, then that effectively counts as a beach house.

Say you have an office in the Hancock tower, you can literally get out of the office during lunch break, take a few laps in Lake Michigan, enjoy the beach/people watching a bit, walk over to your beach home to relax a bit then walk back to your office again---all within an hour time!

In Manhattan no matter how much money you have you can't buy this kind of convenience.

Too late for second-guessing Too late to go back to sleep.

Chicago is also a tundra 9/12 months.

Actually I have been swimming there from May through October, it is warmer in the water than out. This year the winter was particularly mild. Global warming has its benefits too.

Too late for second-guessing Too late to go back to sleep.
