The article says the buyers are second generation Boca Granders so I presume that means they know all about hurricanes, insurance, & whatnot.

Sure ..... but do they know as much as some of the posters on TOTV? Some here think they are MUCH smarter than these Billionaires.

I agree. After all it is the only house on the U.S. coastline. Actually I don't think you will ever have this problem to worry about.

How long is the U.S. shoreline?

Jennifer Parr can afford it. I want to thank her and the Morse family for giving us the beauty and peace of The Villages. I love it here. They deserve it.

It’s a lovely home, though I wouldn’t want to live there. More than fifty photos here:

Wait! The Villages isn’t good enough for them? I thought they all lived here amongst us. HaHa! Just kidding. I would think billionaires need to own as much investment property as possible for tax shelters. They likely own far more than just this place. They’ve earned it all, so I hope they take time to enjoy it all.
