Florida — Gemini, $137.5 Million
It’s no surprise that Florida real estate gives us one of the top five priciest listings in the country—the state’s Palm Beach area is renowned for over-the-top luxury listings that have attracted the likes of Citadel CEO and real estate mogul Ken Griffin and Stephen Ross, chairman of Related Companies and owner of the Miami Dolphins. Gemini is situated in the same area, in the town of Manalpan, where media mogul William Ziff bought the property for $5 million. At the time, it was an empty 15-acre lot. Now, 30 years later, it’s a $137.5 million slice of real estate.
It’s an over-the-top price tag—though down from the initial $195 million asking—for a similarly grand mansion; one that netted it a spot on Robb Report‘s “Most Expensive Homes in the World for Sale” list. The 62,200-square-foot home comes with 12 bedrooms, plus a seven-bedroom guest house and two four-bedroom beach-side cottages. (As well as yet another guest home with seven studios.) On one side is the Atlantic Ocean, and on the other is Lake Worth—Gemini’s 15 acres offer beach access to both. In other words, even in the notoriously glitzy landscape of Palm Beach real estate, Gemini stands out.
