Disgraced politician Anthony Weiner's ex-wife Huma Abedin has seemingly revealed she is dating billionaire George Soros' son Alex - who is almost ten years her junior. The longtime aide to Hillary Clinton appeared to take her romance public on Wednesday when she shared a photo of herself and Alex enjoying a Valentine's Day date at a restaurant in Paris. In the image - which was posted on Instagram Stories by both Huma, 47, and Alex, 38 - shows the pair cuddling up in a corner booth behind a table strewn with red roses and gifts, with the billionaire playboy adding...

The Hamptons 'middle class,' comprised of New Yorkers with somewhat modest million-dollar second homes out East, have been dropping their asking prices by more than 25 percent in a bid to sell their homes. Because of growing interest rates and the post-pandemic need to be in the city more often, many middling Hamptons staycationers, who own properties up to $5million, are attempting to sell their homes at reduced prices. In some cases, owners have cut their asking prices by hundreds of thousands of dollars in Sag Harbor and Amagansett. One agent told the NYPost that prices for homes on the...

Former President Bill Clinton and former senator, Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton were a little distant as they went on a hike in the Hamptons just after Bill's 77th birthday. The New York destination is about 115 miles east of the Clintons usual Empire State haven in Chappaqua. Hillary wore a kaftan style top, denim jeans and walking sneakers as they went on their walk on Sunday.

Talk abut a fishy thing to do! Some Hamptons teens threw a giant fish off the roof of the fancy Le Bilboquet restaurant in Sag Harbor, sources exclusively tell Page Six — and the incoming catch of the day crashed down on tables, causing chaos among well-heeled diners. A source told us of the packed-to-the-gills hot spot: “A 20-pound striped bass was thrown from the roof of Bilboquet by two teenagers and landed on a table, sending glasses and plates flying!” The East End insider said, “Medics were called for a woman who was cut and bleeding, and the cops...

The most expensive home for sale in Atlantic Beach, Long Island, has just listed for $11.5 million. Indeed, this marks the biggest number seen for the chiefly laid-back area, though probably not for long. As Wall Street is set to return to a full five-day work week, the Hamptons is starting to seem pretty far away. This part of the island, with a lowly population of about 1,800, comes with all the perks of the Hamptons — right on the water, for starters — and it’s just a breezy hour away from the city and away from the crowds. Rarely...

Abigail Disney, the granddaughter of Roy O. Disney and self-described Patriotic Millionaire, was arrested Friday as she joined a climate protest at an airport in the Hamptons. Fox News reports the left-wing heiress added her voice alongside members of New York Communities for Change, Planet Over Profit, and Sunrise Movement NYC, on the East End of Long Island. They blocked the main entrance of the East Hampton Airport, which serves private jet and charter flights, in Wainscott, New York, to challenge its use by the rich, the powerful, and the privileged.

I don’t know what’s funnier, that Team DeSantis is now providing discounts for people to meet him, or that Rupert Murdoch is the one telling everybody. Next up, coupons. However, I qualify this article sharing by saying the Big Club doesn’t put $250+ million into a political construct and give up this easily. Until Casey DeSantis publicly renounces her quest for a bigger tiara, Super PAC operators Ken Cuccinelli and Jeff Roe will never concede. Reference Cindy McCain in Arizona for comparable context. [NEW YORK POST] – When it comes to campaign fundraisers, Ron DeSantis has been relegated to the...

Metals magnate and Republican donor Andy Sabin said he has soured on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis over his stance on abortion and Ukraine, and is now planning to back Senator Tim Scott instead in the 2024 Republican White House race. Sabin had been considering donating to DeSantis, who is expected to officially announce a White House run in June, but changed his mind after the governor signed a new law banning abortions after six weeks and called the war in Ukraine a "territorial dispute." While Sabin is not a megadonor, his decision not to back DeSantis underscores concerns among some...

Pennsylvania Senate hopeful John Fetterman recently attended a fundraiser in the Hamptons, a previously unreported appearance as he recovers from a stroke and ramps up to face Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz -- whom he often attacks as an elitist celebrity versus his blue-collar style. Photos posted to a public Instagram on Aug. 19 show Fetterman, Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor, at a gathering in Amagansett on Long Island. "Another fun one with our guy #johnfetterman #winning," Quinn Blackwell wrote in a caption. Blackwell declined to comment when reached by phone; he also made his account private. An account tagged in the photos,...

CAMBRIDGE, MA — President Biden announced plans today to forgive $10,000 in student loan debt for anyone making less than $125k per year. In completely unrelated news, the nation's colleges and universities announced plans to immediately raise tuition by $10,000. "Look, Jack! Here's the deal! No malarkey at all! Not a joke!" said Biden before an aide had to step in and explain he was signing an order to forgive student loan debt. Dr. Charles Moneybags, director of the National Association for the Advancement Of College Professors (NAACP), said he applauds the president's decision to cancel student debt for so...

* A New York City urologist has seen more patients demanding a procedure that eases the need to pee. * NYC's wealthiest are hoping to eliminate the need to go during the long drive to their summer homes. * Some are getting "bladder Botox" to avoid conflict over "Hamptons bladder" in the car. Traffic en route to the Hamptons has gotten so bad that it's sending some well-heeled New Yorkers streaming to the doctor for a medical procedure, so they won't have the urge to pee so often on the road. Crawling through increasingly insufferable summer traffic to and from...

After two years of strong demand and soaring prices, the supply of rentals in the Hamptons is surging, leading to a wave of last-minute price cuts. Median rental prices in the first quarter fell 26%, according to Jonathan Miller, CEO of Miller Samuel. Brokers say some owners are slashing prices by 30% or more just to fill their properties. “There is a tremendous amount of inventory and people are not renting it,” said Enzo Morabito of Douglas Elliman. “And it’s across all segments, from the very low to the very top of the market.” The weakness marks a dramatic and...

Hillary Clinton and her former aide Huma Abedin are proving that no number of scandals, failed presidential campaigns, and tell-all books can come between their longtime friendship as they reunited this weekend in the Hamptons to enjoy a leisurely lunch. Clinton, 73, and Abedin, 45, looked like the very best of friends as they joined several companions at Carissa's The Bakery in East Hampton, where they were seen laughing and chatting over coffees and pastries while soaking up the sunshine at an outdoor table. The former Secretary of State and her longtime aide looked as though they had nary a...

Must have been a turbulent ride. CNN host Chris Cuomo caught a helicopter from the Hamptons back to New York City — just hours after his brother, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, was exposed as a serial sexual harasser in a damning official report. A source spotted Chris alone at the East Hampton airport around 6 p.m. Tuesday — and said the CNN anchor was scrolling through news about his older brother as he waited for his ride. “I saw the article from New York Post on his phone when I walked by,” the source said. Photos showed the 50-year-old “Cuomo Prime...

Former President Barack Obama is reportedly preparing to throw a large, lavish, celebrity-filled affair at his $11.75 million Hamptons mansion in Martha’s Vineyard for his 60th birthday, sources told The Hill. Dozens of guests will reportedly gather at the Obamas’ Hamptons mansion, which they purchased in 2019. According to The Hill, Oprah Winfrey and George Clooney are among the gilded guests — both of whom happened to campaign for Obama before or during his presidency.

The Rev. Al Sharpton on Tuesday slammed the nationwide call to defund the police as a “latte liberal” ideology. Sharpton made the comments on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” during a discussion about policing and a recent spate of violence in the Big Apple. “To take all policing off is something that I think a latte liberal may go for as they sit around the Hamptons discussing this as some academic problem,” Sharpton said.

How dangerous have things gotten in the New York City under Bill de Blasio and Andrew Cuomo? So bad that even Joe Scarborough has to grudgingly admit that things were a lot safer under Mayor Rudy Giuliani. So dangerous that even Al Sharpton has to oppose defunding the NYC police, saying that notion is something for "latte liberals" sitting around in the Hamptons. Those surprising statements were heard on today's Morning Joe. NYC resident Willie Geist was left as the sole defender of the city, claiming that, unlike others, he feels safe. But in a bit of unintended gallows humor,...

I’ve gotten more death threats in the past week than probably the average politician does — all because I wrote a column for The Post with the online headline “NYC Is Dead Forever: Here’s Why.” I presented facts. Plus, I told the story of my own lifelong love affair with the Big Apple and lamented its impending demise. Now Jerry Seinfeld — sitting in the comfort and safety of his Hamptons mansion, with probably five dozen rare Italian sports cars in the garage — has written a response in the New York Times calling me a “putz” and insisting...

Some people might burn a little sage to clear out bad vibes. Southampton restaurant owner Zach Erdem busts out a sledgehammer, axe, and giant bottle of lighter fluid. Erdem, the owner of 75 Main in Southampton, New York, was troubled by the lingering “bad energy” at a VIP table at his establishment that had been frequented by not one, but two, famous convicted creeps: Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein. The table, a high-top designed to seat six, was such a favorite dining spot for Epstein that he once paid another party’s $1,500 bill just to get them to clear out....
