In April 2023 luxury car dealer Michael Cantanucci and his wife Kimberly paid $170 million for an oceanfront estate in Palm Beach, the most ever paid for a single-family home on the island, according to The Real Deal and the Palm Beach Daily News.
The estate covers about 1.6 acres with a roughly 20,000 square foot house: 10 bedrooms, 11 full bathrooms and seven half-bathrooms. The sellers were coffee tycoon Bob Stiller and his wife Christine.
$170 million could feed about 1.55 million hungry kids three meals a day for a whole year.
