CHRISTIE BRINKLEY – $30 MILLION, LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK

Christie Brinkley, a supermodel who’s appeared in countless magazines and ads, both on print and TV, was one of the first supermodels. Indeed, she was a supermodel even before the word entered common parlance. Brinkley rose to fame for her three appearances on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues as a cover girl in the 1980s. A large part of her wealth comes from a series of shrewd real estate investments she made.

She was reported to have listed her 20-acre estate in the New York beach town of The Hamptons for $30 million in 2016. Interestingly, the property has been on and off the real estate market since 2002, so we’re wondering why nobody had snagged it yet. In any case, the property is a thing of beauty and will be an excellent addition to anyone’s investment portfolio, with its views of both the Connecticut and Atlantic Ocean.
