The estate of Madeleine Albright is selling the former U.S. secretary of state’s elegant mansion in Washington, DC. The asking price is $4 million.

During that time, Albright regularly hosted politicians, influential Washingtonians, and foreign dignitaries. She died in 2022 at the age of 84. Standing four stories tall, the 4,800-square-foot property’s ivy-covered brick façade makes a stately first impression.

This ‘cosy’ one-room flat in Hackney Wick, London will cost you an eye-watering £1,600 per month to rent. And if that wasn’t enough, you’ll have to do some chores. The listing asks renters to care for the landlady’s houseplants. It says that watering them ‘would be greatly appreciated but not burdensome’, since there aren’t very many. However, 22 plants can be seen on the OpenRent listing, mainly in pictures of the living/sleeping/dining room area, as well as one in the toilet. The flat is also so small that the bed has to sit on a shelf with no headroom. The sleeping area is accessed via a stepladder, with a desk positioned...

Life on dry land always seemed to leave Mike Soroker, 80, thirsty for more. And so, after taking just four cruises with wife Barbara, 75, and loving them all, the restless retirees made a dramatic decision — to buy a condo on a cruise ship and enjoy their final years sailing around the world.

Once completed, the 547-cabin ship is scheduled to spend three years slowly circling the globe, stopping frequently and allowing for...

This California compound has passed from one star to another.At the end of a cul-de-sac in Los Angeles’s gated Hidden Hills neighborhood, Sylvester Stallone has sold his sprawling residence to Creedence Clearwater Revival co-founder John Fogerty. The “Fortunate Son” in the deal would certainly appear to be Fogerty, 78, who paid $17.2 million for the mansion — $1 million less than the $18.15 million “Rocky” star, 77, paid for the pad less than 2 years ago, in spring 2022 — and $5.3 million less than his $22.5 million asking price for it, Robb Report first reported. During his brief ownership of the estate, Stallone made barely any renovations to...

Legendary investor Warren Buffett, known for his investment acumen and frugality, has always shown a different perspective on wealth and legacy. Living in the same home for over six decades, he epitomizes the adage that it's not about how much you have but what you do with it. His daughter Susan shared a glimpse of this philosophy on "Good Morning America" in 2006. After requesting a $41,000 loan for a kitchen renovation to fit her daughter's high chair, her father's response was straightforward: "Go to the bank and do it like everyone else." Such anecdotes are emblematic of Buffett's stance on dollar-based legacies. In 1977, each of the three Buffett offspring received $90,000. This sum...

The drive for this decision stems from his realization of the importance of a stable family life. This pursuit is particularly intriguing considering Musk's previous decisions on homeownership. Not too long ago, Musk boldly declared to "own no house," a statement he largely acted upon by selling seven of his homes for nearly $130 million. Such actions showcased the billionaire's contrasting stance on possessions and homeownership compared to his peers. Despite now being the wealthiest man in the world,...

In his more than three decades living at this Queens landmark, Roy Fox has never paid a penny on rent. That’s right — in calling Jamaica’s King Manor House home, the 84-year-old former radio host hasn’t needed to pay those high, and annoying, monthly costs that New Yorkers always complain about. It’s because he’s the 11-acre site’s caretaker. The responsibility, moreover, is much less work than most jobs, Fox told The Post back in 2020. “[I just] open and close the place,” he explained of his museum of a residence, portions of which date to 1700. “Work hardly comes to mind.” The warden recently re-caught the...
