Real Estate

In 2018, Caroline and David paid $13.5 million for a condo at Palazzo Del Sol on the ultra-exclusive Fisher Island in Miami. They sold the condo in February 2021 for $16.25 million. Monthly HOA dues for the condo came to $10,000.
In June of 2021 Caroline and David paid $18.7 million for a condo in the same building. This purchase gave them a five-bedroom penthouse spanning 7,000 square feet of living space, not including two terraces. In January 2024 David and Caroline listed their condo for a mouth-water $42.5 million. As insane as that price jump sounds after just two years of ownership, it's actually in-line with comparable recent sales. A larger penthouse in the same building was sold around the time of Caroline and David's listing, for $90 million. In June 2024 they sold this unit for $37 million.
