Morning Morsel: Courtney Sale Ross

According to the property gossips at the New York Post, philanthropist Courtney Sale Ross—the very rich widow of former Time Warner CEO Steve Ross—has floated her 5.5 acre Georgia Pond fronting estate in East Hampton on the market as a so-called pocket listing with a $75,000,000 asking price.

High end property watchers will recall that Miz Sale Ross sold her 20-plus room duplex co-operative apartment in New York City at the very high-nosed 740 Park Avenue last year for $52,500,000 to money manager Howard Marks who himself recently unloaded his fully renovated and landscaped 10-ish acre ocean front compound in Malibu (CA) for around $75,000,000.

Afternoon Tidbits and Links: Elton John

Have a delicious look-see via Architectural Digest at what Million Dollar Decorator Martyn Lawrence Bullard did to the glassy, low-slung Beverly Hills (CA) contemporary that music industry icon Sir Elton John and his man-friend/baby daddy David Furnish bought last year for $7,250,000.

Sir Elton and Mister Furnish may have two young sons but they still live a globe-trotting rock star lifestyle and maintain a handful of decadent, high-maintenance digs around the world including in Atlanta, Georgia; in both London and Windsor in the U.K.; Nice, France; and Venice, Italy.
