American rock icon Bruce Springsteen and wife, Patti Scialfa, sold one of their side-by-side homes in Wellington, FL to Chicago philanthropists Daniel and Ellen Podell Crown for $2.95 million, reports the Palm Beach Daily News.
Springsteen’s home that was sold is located in Equestrian Club Estates, which is a gated community for equestrian types. Does The Boss have a special affinity for equestrian activites? No, but Bruce and Patti’s daughter, Jessica, is evidently an equestrian prodigy. Who knew?
According to Real Estalker, Springsteen purchased the property in 2008 for $3.1 million, then, a few months later, Bruce purchased the home next door for $4.6 million. Although Springsteen got $2.95 million for the first home, he initially listed it for sale for $3.95 million. And, he bought it for $3.1 million, so he sustained a loss of $150,000.
