[h=1] Shock Jock Howard Stern to Buy Palm Beach Mansion! [/h] Posted by Jose Lambiet , May 14, 2013 Print
Shock jock Howard Stern has a contract to buy this house on North County Road in Palm Beach (Special to Gossip Extra)

Palm Beach, say hello to your new neighbor — shock jock Howard Stern!
While Stern told brokers he didn’t want to buy in Palm Beach when he and wife Beth Ostrosky started looking for South Florida real estate in March, sources tell me the hairy celebrity had a change of heart and found his dream house on the most expensive stretch of the Town of Palm Beach’s north side.
Only it’s going to cost him a lot more than the $20 million-cribs he looked at in Jupiter and Palm Beach Gardens!
Stern, I’m told, has a contract on 601 North County Road — an oceanfront house that was not listed for sale and is owned by New Hampshire textile mogul Martin Trust and his socialite wife Diane.

It’s appraised by the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s office at $40.8 million, and the yearly property-tax bill is in the $500,000-range.

The Trusts, noted philanthropists, bought the place in 1986 for $4.6 million, according to property records.
Martin Trust did not reply to a request for comment left with his assistant, and Stern’s agent has not returned calls.

Stern, who’s also a judge on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, signed off on the contract to buy the property after former model Ostrosky came to Palm Beach solo and in near secret to look at several mansions.
She eventually pushed for the Trusts’ place.

It’s big, 19,800 square feet under AC. And while records do not show the number of bedrooms, it’s got 12 and a half bathrooms over two floors.
And the 59-year-old Stern won’t even have to go up the stairs: The home is equipped with an elevator.
And a perfectly manicured croquet lawn!
The house, meanwhile, is on a part of North County Road that’s turning out to be one of the most expensive in the world. It has traditionally been home to stuffy corporate tycoons, and is known as “Raiders’ Row.â€
Stern’s new place is two doors north from the property that Russian fertilizer king Dmitry Rybolovlev bought from Donald Trump for $95 million in 2008.
It’s directly north of billionaire Nelson Peltz‘ house, which is believed to be worth in the $120 million-range.
Ironically, Peltz once created controversy by advertising his Snapple fruity drinks on Stern’s show.
Now, Stern is believed to be worth $500 million!
In April, Stern confirmed on his show he was looking for a place in Florida but denied it was to escape New York’s high income taxes

 

"hairy celebrity", lolol.

 

nice digs

 

And yet the cheap bastard can't pay real comedians even $200 for a show on his shit channels.

 

19,800 sq ft!?!?!? I can't believe he would buy that

 

He'll probably knock it down and build something new.

 

This is what selling out looks like

 

is Ronnie moving too?

 

But he just told KOAB that he wasn't worth $400 mil? This will give him about $100 mil just in houses and apartments.

 

how much is Chimney Manor?

 

This house has 4 bowling lanes.

 

His property taxes will be approximately $638,000 per year.

If FL becomes his homestead, he will easily pay for his house just in Income tax Savings alone.

A very smart Money move.

 

Beth came to Florida "solo and near secret". Everywhere Beth goes by herself is near secret. No one knows who she is or even cares.

 

If that's the case sign me up!!

 

he and limbaugh will be neighbors. same vocation, same birthday, same leaving nyc for palm beach, same embarrassing marriage, etc.
