Oracle Corp. co-founder Larry Ellison has listed his beachfront property in North Palm Beach for $145 million.
The 8.5-acre estate including dune and beach areas boasts 562 feet of ocean frontage and is located in the tony neighborhood of Seminole Landing.
Compared to other beachfront properties in Palm Beach County, the double-gate estate is the third-largest beachfront property in the county, Compass told Inman.
“As one of the largest oceanfront lots, the property holds a certain hideout that sits above and beyond the spectacular Palm Beach estates, which are already a benchmark for the highest caliber of properties in the world,” Farhad Farman of Compass said in a statement emailed to Inman.
Ellison’s move comes just over a year after buying the property for $80 million and about two months after buying a separate $173 million estate in nearby Manalapan. tech entrepreneur Jim Clark.
Adam McPherson, Chris Leavitt and Ashley McIntosh of Douglas Elliman’s Leavitt/McIntosh team represent the property, while Farman acts as strategic marketing advisor.

The seven-bedroom house is Tuscan-style and includes a home cinema, wine cellar and tennis court.
First listed in 2020 for $79.5 million, the prime plot the home sits on was purchased by hedge fund manager Gabe Hoffman in 2012 for $17.5 million. Ellison then purchased the property in April 2021 from Hoffman.
The house itself has ‘good bones’, said McPherson The Wall Street Journalbut potential buyers will likely be interested in expanding or tearing it down and building a new one with as much continuous buildable area available on the property.

In 2021, hedge fund manager Igor Tulchinsky bought a mansion in the area for $39.5 million, and in 2020, billionaire private equity executive Robert F. Smith bought two homes from the energy drink founder. Rockstar Russ Weiner for $48.19 million.
