If you haven't heard by now, hedge-funder David Tepper is well on his way to securing the most expensive Hamptons purchase of 2010. While the exact closing price remains a mystery, brokers' whispers indicate that he could've paid up to $50 million for the Gibson Lane showplace—a mere drop in the bucket for someone who earned up to $4 billion last year. However, if you're nervous that Mr. Tepper overpaid—fear not—as he likely avoided a nasty commission fee by closing the deal himself. But what else to know about the deal?
Well, first, the property spans an unheard of 6.5 oceanfront acres; second, the house can claim up to $900K in rental fees for the summer; and third, like the previous owner, who was once the Governor and Senator of New Jersey, Tepper also hails from the Garden State. Not quite your cookie-cutter Shore House, but still fist-pump worthy.
