Looking through Sotheby’s real estate magazine today and saw an ad for Huntington Hartford’s house. He was the A & P supermarket heir that smoked through 400 million by the time he was 80. Very interesting story, almost everything he touched lost money. Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas cost him 30 million to build in the 60’s and he sold it for 1 million years later.
