The longtime Palm Beach, Fla., home of the late conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh has sold for $155 million, according to property records.
The roughly 2.7-acre waterfront property was quietly on the market last year, asking $150 million to $175 million, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The sale is a record deal for Palm Beach, according to property records and real-estate appraisal firm Miller Samuel. In 2013, hedge-funder Ken Griffin paid $129.6 million for four parcels. Last year, Oracle Corp. co-founder and chairman Larry Ellison purchased a $173 million home in nearby Manalapan, Fla., setting a record for that area.
Located on tony North Ocean Boulevard, the compound has multiple structures, including a large main house built in West Indies style. The property has roughly 250 feet of ocean frontage and direct access to the beach, records show.
Mr. Limbaugh, a talk-radio icon who died in 2021, purchased the property for $3.9 million in 1998 through a limited liability company, records show. The seller was a trust tied to his widow, Kathryn Adams Limbaugh.
The roughly 24,000-square-foot main house was largely decorated by Limbaugh himself, according to the 2010 book “An Army of One” by Zev Chafets. A vast salon was meant to invoke Versailles, the book said, and a dining room chandelier was a replica of the one in New York’s Plaza Hotel.

Psssst...don’t tell anyone. I’m buying it for Mrs Deplorable’s birthday...
Was she cheating with the pool boy? That’s Bull💩!!
Running a general contractor business, I had a few tear downs. I just tore down a 3 million house (that 3 years ago I built!) so the owner can build a bigger house - they also had me tear down an older house next door that was built in 1960s. They are building two homes, one of the homes will be for their kids (the oldest is 13). It will be their playhouse!
RE: Good thing it sold now before Biden’s new taxes take affect
That’s just HIS proposal. It’s DOA in Congress.
A house for a playhouse? is that Where nanny sleeps?
No doubt
And you know that how?
Thanks, Procon!
No facts? Just wild accusations?
Unless you were the one she was “cheating” with, how could you possibly know?
“And wife #4, who was cheating on him, gets the money.”
What a rotten thing to say. Rush worshipped her, and she took good care of him. Source please, but I doubt you have one, other than a propensity towards viciousness.
Any place she wants to
Isn’t it odd that all of these mega-rich people are buying $100+ million properties on the ocean, what with all the climate change that’s going to bring rising oceans???? It’s almost like they don’t believe in the globull warming religion like the Obummers who bought on Martha’s Vineyard. Puzzling.
There is no gain. The trust inherited it at its stepped up value.
YEP!
I had not heard that story. Can you elaborate?
Re: 17 - You provided no source or reference for your claim.
In other words, you were jackassin’
Stop crapping on FR with that kind of trash.

Yep, its the Enquirer, and they’re right way more often than they are wrong.
If they were wrong, Rush would have sued them out of existence.
Nice. You slid in the "they're right way more often than they are wrong" to try and justify the Enquirer's claim and you posting it.
An unnamed source makes claims. And you ignorantly crap on FR with that?
Grow up. No one liked it when "unnamed sources" made (and makes) claims about President Trump and here you are doing it yourself.
Do better - you're embarrassing.
If it was a lie then Rush would have sued them into oblivion.
