Rush Limbaugh’s Longtime Palm Beach Home Sells for $155 Million
Wall Street Journal ^ | 03/09/2023 | E.B. Solomont

The longtime Palm Beach, Fla., home of the late conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh has sold for $155 million, according to property records.

The roughly 2.7-acre waterfront property was quietly on the market last year, asking $150 million to $175 million, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The sale is a record deal for Palm Beach, according to property records and real-estate appraisal firm Miller Samuel. In 2013, hedge-funder Ken Griffin paid $129.6 million for four parcels. Last year, Oracle Corp. co-founder and chairman Larry Ellison purchased a $173 million home in nearby Manalapan, Fla., setting a record for that area.

Located on tony North Ocean Boulevard, the compound has multiple structures, including a large main house built in West Indies style. The property has roughly 250 feet of ocean frontage and direct access to the beach, records show.

Mr. Limbaugh, a talk-radio icon who died in 2021, purchased the property for $3.9 million in 1998 through a limited liability company, records show. The seller was a trust tied to his widow, Kathryn Adams Limbaugh.

The roughly 24,000-square-foot main house was largely decorated by Limbaugh himself, according to the 2010 book “An Army of One” by Zev Chafets. A vast salon was meant to invoke Versailles, the book said, and a dining room chandelier was a replica of the one in New York’s Plaza Hotel.

Rush died in 2021.

Seems like decades ago. Alas.

The turtle’s won’t like that. You have to turn the outside lights off at 9:00 p.m. If I remember correctly.

Between this and the article about Ford eliminating the AM radio in the 2024 Mustang ....

I am feeling like I live on the fringe of reality.

Just 25 months ago...25 months ago...God it seems like an eternity ago. It is all slipping through my old fingers.

Time fast, life is short.

There are those of us who never should be married.

IMHO, Rush was one of them.

I think, that is “I” alone, think that he would still be with us if he had remained single.

Having spent many hours on AM Radio I am sad for that, but any station can be streamed now and Car Play let’s you do that…

I think Rush might still be alive if he had not taken up cigars after 20 years of heavy cigarette smoking.

If you quit smoking cigarettes before age 40, your life time risk for lung cancer is exactly the same as non-smokers.

Rush quit before age 40. Then, he hung out in cigar rooms for the next 30 years. Not a good health decision!
