Venture capitalist Vinny Smith, founder of Toba Capital, has placed his riverfront estate in Oakley, Utah, on the market for $30 million. Smith is also the former CEO of Quest Software, which was acquired by Dell for $2.4 billion in 2012. 

In addition to the main 16,800-square-foot home on the banks of the Weber River, the property called Riverbend Ranch comes with a helicopter pad, wine cellar, and movie room.

"There is so much to do on-property that it feels like your own private oasis," Smith told Business Insider.

Paul Benson of Engel & Völkers has the listing. Take a look at the home, below.

Aspen CO 1

Lachlan Murdoch, son of media mogul Rupert Murdoch and a leader of the family's $62 billion business empire, has reportedly purchased a $29 million estate in Aspen, Colorado, according to the Wall Street Journal. 

Murdoch, 46, is co-chairman of News Corp. and executive chairman of 21st Century Fox. Earlier this year, the Financial Times reported that Murdoch has a passion for "mountain climbing and the great outdoors," so his purchase of the Mopani Estate, located on Buttermilk Mountain with views of Red Mountain, is no big surprise.

The home was most recently listed by its previous owner, tech entrepreneur Mark Schaszberger, for $44 million in June. It first appeared on the market for $49 million in 2015. Amy Doherty and Joshua Saslove of Douglas Elliman had the listing. 

Below, take a look around the 44.6-acre property.

The Woolworth Building's $110 million penthouse could break sales records

CmFaar52_01

Since 2014, 32 new residential apartments inside the famed Woolworth building in downtown Manhattan have been on the market — however the building's penthouse, named "The Pinnacle," has gone up for sale just this month reports The Wall Street Journal.

With an asking price of $110 million, the Pinnacle could break sales records for downtown Manhattan — which is currently held by a unit inside the Chelsea’s Walker Tower that sold for $50.9 million in 2014.

Once the world's tallest building, the 1913 Woolworth is 792-feet — and the Pinnacle takes up its top peak, with 360 views of the city.

The Pinnacle is a 9,710-square-foot apartment that, at the moment, doesn't have a specific floor plan. Ken Horn, president of Alchemy Properties who is working on the project told The Wall Street Journal that its buyer will be able to design the space to their specific needs.

CmClose_00_Ext

Alchemy Properties worked on the construction of the penthouse, which needed more windows and airspace in order to meet New York City requirements. After receiving permission from the Landmarks Preservation Commission, six windows were added, others were expanded, and 3,500 pieces of terra-cotta were replaced on the exterior.

The ceilings are up to 24 feet high, and the penthouse residents along with the other units in the building get to enjoy amenities such as a spa, a wine cellar, and fitness studio.

Playboy founder Hugh Hefner has died at 91, Playboy Enterprises confirmed in a press release Wednesday night.

For the last 40 years, the entertainment icon made his home in the infamous Playboy Mansion, the site of many a crazy party. 

Hefner never technically owned the Los Angeles estate. He leased it from Playboy Enterprises and paid $100 a year in rent.

In August 2016, the nearly 20,000-square-foot house sold for $100 million to Daren Metropoulos, a principal of the private-equity firm Metropoulos & Co. and a former co-CEO of Pabst Brewing Company.

As part of the terms of the sale, Hefner was allowed to continue living there for $1 million per year. Now that he has died, the mansion and its five-acre grounds will officially have no further ties to Playboy Enterprises.

Let's take a look around Hefner's longtime home:

The 20,000-square-foot house is on the edge of the Los Angeles Country Club in the Holmby Hills neighborhood, right between Beverly Hills and Westwood.



The five-acre property includes the main mansion and a four-bedroom guesthouse.



For decades, invitations to Playboy Mansion parties were highly coveted, and stories of the wild nights here are Hollywood legend.

Corcoran nyc listings 2Harvey Spevak, former CEO and current executive chairman and managing partner at the boutique fitness chain Equinox, has been trying to sell his condo in New York's Park Imperial tower condo since 2011.

First listed unsuccessfully for $11.995 million that year, the home later went off the market for some time. Then, in Feburary of this year, it returned for $9.5 million before being lowered further to $7.5 million in September, Curbed reported.

The duplex — two properties that Spevak and his wife, Rhonda, purchased separately for $2.5 million and $2.95 million — were combined to make a single, 2,954-square-foot duplex.

The Obamas may be moving uptown.

Page Six reported Monday that the Obama family had been considering buying a $10 million condo on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

The Obamas have reportedly been seen entering and exiting a building on Gracie Square. Property records show that a nine-room duplex at that building went into contract on September 26, which sparked the purchase speculation.

The building itself is 15 floors and was built in 1930. The listing calls it "one of the foremost elegant and coveted buildings in New York." 

It has an indoor squash or basketball court for residents as well as lobby staff and a "live-in resident manager." One of the most important features: a private drive-through for easy drop-off — a feature that could be essential for someone under Secret Service protection.

A spokesperson for former President Obama did not immediately return Business Insider's request for comment.

Earlier this year, the Obama family reportedly purchased the Washington, DC mansion they had been renting since leaving the White House. The purchase price was $8.1 million. They also own a home in Hyde Park in Chicago and were rumored to be looking at vacation homes in Martha's Vineyard, though a spokesperson for the family has said that those rumors were not true.

Take a look around the luxurious duplex apartment, which was listed by Brown Harris Stevens until it went into contract last week.

Fashion designer Elie Tahari's Hamptons home has just gone on the market for $45 million. 

Tahari originally purchased the home for $12.1 million in 2005. The designer said in a statement to the Wall Street Journal that he's selling it because his focus is currently on his business. 

"I haven't been there for the last two summers," he said in the statement.

During one of those two summers, the Sagaponack home was rented to a hedge fund manager for nearly $800,000 for the months of July and August, the property's listing agents, Keith Green and Ann Ciardullo from Sotheby's International Realty, told the Wall Street Journal.

The six-bedroom residence was last offered in February 2017, though it's been on and off the market several times. It's now back for the same exact price.

The best part of living in this swanky hotel may be the many luxury services The Pierre offers. Residents are given complete access to the butler service, pet pampering, twice-daily maid service, and the hotel's chauffeur-driven Jaguar.

Below are highlights of the island and its amenities, which include a 27,000-square-foot mansion, 250-foot-long dock, horse stables, and an eight-car garage. The property is being sold by Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty. Let's take a look around.

Grey Gardens

Anyone who saw the documentary or Broadway play would likely balk at living in the actual home that "Grey Gardens" inspired. After all, the home was in poor shape during the filming of the documentary, and it's even rumored to be haunted.

But eight months after being put onto the market, the home has finally found a buyer, the Washington Post reported. It was originally listed for just shy of $20 million in February, though that price was reduced to $17.995 million in April. 

The East Hampton, New York, mansion now looks nothing like it did in the 1975 documentary showcasing the lives of Jackie Kennedy Onassis' ex-socialite relatives. 

Journalist and author Sally Quinn purchased the mansion with her husband, the late Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, for $220,000 in 1979. They completely rehabilitated it to the current splendor that it now shows, according to The New York Times.

Quinn would not diclose the name of the buyer or what he or she paid, though she told the Post that this individual "really understands the house." She added that she will be holding an estate sale of many of the home's furniture pieces, including things she found when she first bought the house.

The Corcoran Group had the listing.

  • A Martha's Vineyard estate is now for sale for $17.75 million.
  • It's been on the market for years and has seen several price cuts.
  • It was used by the Obama family as a summer getaway in 2013.

 

This isn't just any ordinary picturesque Martha's Vineyard estate — it has a presidential pedigree.

President Obama and his family rented this sprawling, 7,000-square-foot mansion for an entire summer in 2013, according to The Wall Street Journal. But that seems not to have made the house any easier to sell.

Now it'll be just a little bit cheaper to live like the First Family all year round. The house listed in July 2015 for $22.5 million. Just three months later, the house already had a 15% price chop. 

Now, nearly two years later, the house is still for sale, at a discounted price of $17.75 million.

Sotheby's International Real Estate has the listing.

Before Paul reportedly bought it, the home had been listed for $7.395 million, according to the Los Angeles Times. 

Paul, who became famous by making short videos on the now-defunct social media platform Vine, has built a following of over 11 million subscribers on YouTube. He also acts on the Disney Channel show "Bizaardvark" and started a management company for social media personalities.

After he claimed that his neighbors tried to kill him in July, it makes sense that Paul would be looking for a new home.

Alan Wilzig, the real-life inspiration for a character in "The Wolf of Wall Street," is having a hard time getting rid of his New York City home.  

Wilzig's Tribeca mansion has been on the market since 2014, when it listed for $44 million. It was later offered for $24.885 million and is now up for sale again for $18.75 million, down from $19.75 million in its fourth price chop. 

Each time the townhouse gets relisted, its staging gets more and more tame. Many of its more eccentric features have disappeared and it's now more of a typical space in line with the surrounding area.

The 6,500-square-foot townhouse has a 2,200-square-foot roof deck, backyard, three bedrooms, and an attached multipurpose garage.

Wilzig inspired the character who introduced Leonardo DiCaprio's character to his future wife in a pool-party scene in the 2013 film.
