Erin Carlyle at Forbes has put together a gallery of the most outrageously-priced home sales of 2013, and first up is one in Woodside, California.
This year kicked off with the news of a record-breaker home sale price: $117.5 million for a nine-acre Woodside, Calif., estate purchased by billionaire and Softbank chief Masayoshi Son, Japan’s 2nd-richest man. It remains the highest price paid for a home in the U.S., ever.
Although the news hit year, the transaction was also technically a 2012 sale. The property traded hands quietly in November, flying under the radar until reports in January.
- Malibu, CA: $75 million (sold by Howard Marks of Oaktree Capital Management and bought by an anonymous Russian).
- East Hampton, NY: $62.5 million (bought by billionaire Steve Cohen, SAC Capital Advisors)
- NYC, NY: $23.4 million (also bought by billionaire Steve Cohen)
- Miami Beach, FL: $41.5 million (bought by Nakash Family – Jordache Jeans; house formerly owned by Versace)
There’s more more more where these come from, and photos to boot.
