Andrew Cuomo has bought a $9.6 million estate in the Southampton area of the Hamptons, and the details are stacked. The property covers four parcels of land and includes two houses, a guest house, a tennis court, a pool, a gym and a wine cellar. The main house, which was once a lodge, has nine bedrooms and sits on the waterfront.
Records from the Suffolk County Clerk’s Office show Cuomo purchased the property through an LLC in an all-cash deal. Sources say he picked the location to be close to his brother, NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo, who he spends summers fishing with. He’s reportedly treating the estate as an investment property while holding onto his New York City apartment.
The timing is its own headline. Cuomo is currently traveling to Singapore to speak at the TOKEN2049 crypto event, which means the same week he closed on a Hamptons compound, he’s onstage in front of the crypto world. Politics, real estate and blockchain all in one news cycle. If you had a Hamptons budget, would you go for the wine cellar or the tennis court?
