In Case You Missed It: Howard Stern


Property gossip reports out of South Florida are nine kinds of breathless over the scuttlebutt that lewd, crude and redonkulously rich radio shock jock Howard Stern and his wife Beth Ostrosky dumped (around) fifty million bucks in an off-market deal for a robber baron worthy ocean front compound along the most expense stretch of sand in pompously posh Palm Beach, FL.

The 19,800 square foot Palladian behemoth, owned by New Hampshire textile magnate Martin Trust, has 12.5 bathrooms, according to property records and previous reports, as well as an elevator, a croquet lawn, garage parking for 23 cars and an annual tax bill of more than half a million bucks.

Some of  Mister and Missus Stern's new nearby neighbors include the conservative blowhard Rush Limbaugh, billionaire Nelson Peltz and Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev who bought his ocean front spread for $95 million from Donald Trump. Imagine those backyard barbecues...

Now then, what's to become of Mister and Missus Stern's massive ocean front home in the Hamptons? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone? Bueller?
