The Sloan’s Curve townhouse Sean Hannity bought for $14.9 million shares a wall with one he bought in 2021. He is said to have recently paid $23.5 million for an estate south of town in Manalapan.
Fox News conservative firebrand Sean Hannity has paid a recorded $14.9 million for a Palm Beach townhouse that shares a wall with one he has owned since 2021, a few miles south of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club.
The oceanfront sale on the South End of Palm Beach was an off-market transaction recorded Jan. 27 by the Palm Beach County Clerk’s office.
The purchase appears to mark the second Palm Beach County transaction within two months for Hannity. Just before Thanksgiving, he is said to have used an ownership company to buy — for a recorded $23.5 million — an ocean-to-lake estate south of Palm Beach at 1840 S. Ocean Blvd. in Manalapan. The Wall Street Journal was the first to report his involvement in the Manalapan purchase.The Palm Beach Daily News is the first media outlet to report the just-recorded townhouse sale.
The two-story townhouse that Hannity just bought — No. 10 in the gated Residences at Sloan’s Curve — has two bedrooms and about 5,700 square feet, according to a previous sales listing for the property.
The townhouse — addressed as 10 Sloan’s Curve Drive — was sold to Hannity by former U.S. Ambassador Clifford M. Sobel and his wife, Barbara, who had bought it in February 2022 for a recorded $7.5 million, records show. Clifford Sobel was appointed by former President George W. Bush as ambassador to the Netherlands, where he served from 2001 to 2005. Former President Barack Obama named him ambassador to Brazil in 2006, and he held that position until August 2009.
Hannity bought the three-bedroom townhouse next door for a recorded $5.3 million in April 2021 and later that year earned the town’s permission to remodel and expand the residence.
The Residences at Sloan’s Curve is immediately south of casino-and-resort magnate Steve Wynn’s estate. It’s about 2.7 miles from The Mar-a-Lago Club, where Hannity has visited Trump, his close friend and adviser, multiple times, according to press reports.
Glass doors in the main living area of the townhouse Hannity just bought open onto the patio of the unit’s private pool, which fronts the ocean. The townhouse has an attached two-car garage.
Sotheby’s International Realty agent Fern Fodiman confirmed to the Palm Beach Daily News that she was involved in the just-recorded townhouse sale, but she declined to comment further.
Fodiman also handled both sides of the 2022 sale when the Sobels bought the townhouse, known as No. 9, according to records in the multiple listing service.
Clifford Sobel co-founded Valor Capital Group, a New York City-based venture-capital firm, where he holds the title “founding partner.” The company specializes in cross-border investments, “bridging” the U.S., Brazilian and global technology markets, according to its website.
