\"\"<\/a>A couple of notable residences on the market in the Chicago area are owned by billionaire Bill Wrigley Jr<\/a>., the great-grandson of chewing gum founder William Wrigley, who established the candy company in 1891.

Highlights<\/strong>: This grand Italianate mansion on Lake Michigan was built in 1912 and was originally designed by architect Howard van Doren Shaw.<\/a> According to chicagomag.com, Wrigley bought it in January 2003<\/a> for $9.9 million. The home’s original owner was Donald McLennan<\/a>,\u00a0 a Chicago insurance executive who cofounded insurance giant Marsh & McLennan<\/a>. Donald and his wife, Katherine, called the house \u201cStornoway<\/a>,\u201d after a small Scottish town believed to be the birthplace of some of McLennan\u2019s ancestors.

\nWrigley’s Gold Coast penthouse — For Sale $14 Million<\/a><\/strong> (below)

Highlights<\/strong>: Just a few months before Wrigley bought the Lake Forest mansion above, he paid $10.1 million for a 13,200-square-foot Gold Coast condominium below. According to the Chicago Tribune, the “… full-floor penthouse is raw, undeveloped space<\/a>, and sits on the eighth floor of the Lucien Lagrange-designed limestone building…”. The penthouse was created from three units combined into one, but as you can see from photos of Wrigley’s penthouse<\/a>, it is a humongous, concrete shell. Wrigley reportedly backed out of finishing out the space twice before deciding to sell. If you’re wondering how one can justify asking $14 million for unfinished space, it includes Wrigley’s plans to finish it out, plus two 1,500-square-foot outdoor spaces on the roof, and six garage spaces — a rarity to find so much space on the Gold Coast.<\/p>\n
