Jeffrey Lurie’s grandfather, Philip Smith, is the founder of General Cinema, which was one of the largest chains of drive-in movie theaters. Lurie got his start in business through General Cinema but would later take out a loan to purchase the Philadelphia Eagles in 1994 for $185 million; the team is now worth $5.6 billion. With a net worth of $4.6 billion, he has multiple properties across the country — we’ll take a look at his primary residence in Florida.
A Glimpse of Jeffrey Lurie’s $66 Million Mansion
Lurie primarily resides in Palm Beach, Fla. Built in 2008, this single-family house was purchased by Lurie in 2013 for $28.5 million. It has six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and a livable space of 13,278 square feet on a lot size of 1.88 acres.
The house features a parking area, garage, patio, three fireplaces, a pool, and a 185-foot waterfront view. In addition, it also has a dock, a fitness room, a library, and a wine cellar/grotto. The property has a central cooling system for the summer and a forced air heating system for the winter.
The house has two stories with a built-in elevator, stucco walls, and a built-up rooftop with hardwood floors. The house is now estimated to be worth $66 million and is one of the most expensive properties in the area.
Previously, Lurie resided in Wynnewood, Penn. — a 13-acre estate bought from the late Leonore Annenberg in 2007 for $14 million. This house had seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms in a livable space of 13,311 square feet.
Built in 1906, it is a Georgian colonial-style house with stone walls on a lot size of 3.11 acres. The house has three parking spaces, tile flooring with hardwood and carpet in various rooms, a fireplace, and a central cooling system for the summer. The house is now estimated to be worth around $3.8 million.
Lurie still remains intermittently involved with movie production, having won multiple Oscars for documentary films. Speaking of winning, the Eagles won their first championship since 1960, beating the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52.
