Nassau – After nearly a year of unwanted attention, billionaire Louis Bacon has put his luxury Lyford Cay estate up for sale.
Point House, Bacon’s sprawling ultra-opulent 3.38 acre property, is going for $35 million, according to Sotheby’s International Realty.
Not that Bacon needs the money. He controls one of the world’s largest and most profitable hedge funds and is a billionaire many times over.
Point House, however, was repeatedly highlighted in the press in 2010.
More times, perhaps, than the privacy-loving financier would have liked.
Bacon has also been engaged in a long-standing feud with his neighbour, Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard, who is suing him over a property dispute and has complained to police about alleged harassment by Bacon’s staff.
Those complaints led to Point House being raided by police last year. Four stadium sized speakers were seized in that raid but were eventually returned.
Earlier in 2010, The Nassau Guardian revealed that the body of Bacon’s caretaker, Dan Tuckfield Sr. was found in a jacuzzi at Point House.
