Cardboard between the ears, and this purchase proves it

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas are in talks to sell their Westchester estate to Aussie cardboard billionaire Anthony Pratt, of Pratt Industries.

The power couple bought it for around $11.25 million in 2014 and are in contract to sell it for around $15 million in an off-market deal, Gimme Shelter has learned.

The palatial 15,458-square-foot residence at 44 W. Patent Road in Bedford Corners was built in 1895.

It features eight bedrooms and an incredible 18 bathrooms, all on 13.28 acres.

If I wanted to throw my money away on real estate I’d buy in New Canaan, but apparently Mr. Pratt of Australia is in more of a hurry.

As observed here earlier this morning, there’s no more welcome sight for a seller and his agent than spotting an out-of-town buyer appear at the gate.
