Jeffery Epstein-linked billionaire pays $37M for former Obama rental home on Martha's Vineyard
A Martha's Vineyard estate once favored by the Obamas as a summer retreat has quietly changed hands for $37 million — $2 million below its May asking price. The buyer is a trust tied to billionaire retail magnate Les Wexner, the longtime head of L Brands and founder of Victoria's Secret, according to the Real Deal. Known as Blue Heron Farm, the 28.5-acre Chilmark property had been off the market for more than a decade, following an extensive transformation under its previous owners, British architect Norman Foster and his wife, Elena Ochoa Foster. 9 The Martha's Vineyard estate once rented by Barack and Michelle Obama as their summer retreat has sold for $37 million. Evan Joseph Studios 9 The home sold to a trust linked to Ohio-based billionaire Les Wexner, founder of L Brands and former close associate of Jeffrey Epstein. The couple bought the estate in 2011 for $22.4 million and overhauled it into a secluded compound blending historic charm with sleek modern amenities. It was listed this spring for $39 million with agents Brian Dougherty and Maggie Gold Seelig of Corcoran, and went under contract just weeks later. The deal closed on July 10, according to public records. 9 Known as Blue Heron Farm, the 28.5-acre waterfront compound hosted the Obamas for three summers starting in 2009. Evan Joseph Studios 9 The Obamas reportedly paid $50,000 a week during their time in the home. Evan Joseph Studios During the Obama presidency, the secluded property served as the family's vacation home for three consecutive summers beginning in 2009. At the time, they were said to have paid roughly $50,000 a week to rent it. The Obamas stopped returning after the Fosters bought the home and ended its rental availability. The estate includes a 7,000-square-foot main residence with a wraparound porch, plus a guesthouse, a design studio, a gym, a tennis court, equestrian facilities and a private dock. 9 After architect Norman Foster and his wife, Elena Ochoa Foster, purchased the property in 2011 for $22.4 million, they renovated and withdrew it from the rental market. Evan Joseph Studios A barn originally constructed in Pennsylvania over 150 years ago now anchors the entry drive. Under Foster's tenure, a new pool house was added, echoing the clean lines of his firm's more urban projects, including London's Gherkin and the new Wembley Stadium. The buyer, according to records, is a trust managed by Matthew Zieger, Wexner's longtime attorney. While Wexner did not comment, the 87-year-old tycoon has deep real estate ties in Ohio, where L Brands is headquartered, and in Jupiter, Fla., where he owns additional property with his wife Abigail. 9 The estate, listed for $39 million in May, features a 7,000-square-foot main home, a guesthouse, a modern pool house, a gym, a tennis court, stables and a relocated 150-year-old Pennsylvania barn. Evan Joseph Studios His name has also resurfaced in recent years due to his decades-long personal and professional relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, who served as his financial adviser until 2007. Though no longer renters, the Obamas remained fond of Blue Heron Farm. According to Foster, the former president once made a lighthearted attempt to reclaim it. In a New Yorker interview, Foster recalled the former president applied 'jokey pressure' to resume the rental arrangement. 'Sadly, no,' Foster told him at the time, politely declining. 9 The Obamas, drawn by the property's privacy and serenity, later bought their own $11.65 million Martha's Vineyard home in 2019 and also maintain residences in Washington, DC, Chicago and reportedly Hawaii. AFP/Getty Images Afterward, the Obamas pivoted to another Martha's Vineyard rental before purchasing their own home on the island in 2019 for $11.65 million — a nine-bedroom, 8.5-bath residence formerly owned by Joe Lockhart, a former White House press secretary. Michelle Obama later joked about the layout on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show,' saying, 'He got so shortchanged on this whole deal. He doesn't have enough closet space, sorry! He's got the smallest room for his office.' The couple also owns homes in Washington, DC's Kalorama neighborhood and in Chicago's Kenwood, which they bought in 2005. 9 The deal closed July 10, marking a rare high-end transaction in the area and further expanding Wexner's already sprawling real estate portfolio.

One of three homes on the $8.1 million site is believed to be intended for the Obamas. For the Fosters, parting ways with Blue Heron Farm marks the end of a deeply personal project. A statement from the listing described it as 'a historic estate with notable farming roots' that had been 'meticulously updated and modernized … with significant investments made in timeless renovations, extensive foliage planting and build-out for new amenities.' But for the Obamas, its draw was more emotional. In a previous statement, Dougherty and Gold Seelig explained, the family initially chose the property 'for its incredible privacy, serenity and significance.'

Coast Guard report: OceanGate Titan implosion was 'preventable'
Rear Admiral John W. Mauger of the Coast Guard briefs the media on the search for the Titan submersible in 2023. The Coast Guard released its findings Tuesday, saying the implosion that killed five people was preventable. File photo by C.J. Gunther/EPA Aug. 5 (UPI) -- The implosion of the OceanGate submersible Titan in 2023 was "preventable," because of its inadequate design and "toxic" workplace culture, according to a report released by the U.S. Coast Guard Tuesday. The Titan imploded on June 18, 2023, killing five people. The 335-page report documented the causes of the implosion and listed 17 safety recommendations to strengthen oversight of submersible operations, improve coordination among federal agencies and close gaps in international maritime policy. All five on the submersible were killed in the implosion. They were OceanGate's founder and CEO, Stockton Rush; British billionaire Hamish Harding; French maritime expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet; Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son, Suleman Dawood. "The two-year investigation has identified multiple contributing factors that led to this tragedy, providing valuable lessons learned to prevent a future occurrence," said Jason Neubauer, chair of the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation for the Titan. "There is a need for stronger oversight and clear options for operators who are exploring new concepts outside of the existing regulatory framework. I am optimistic the [Report of Investigation's] findings and recommendations will help improve awareness of the risks and the importance of proper oversight while still providing a pathway for innovation." Titan's imploded wreckage was found on the ocean floor about 1,640 feet off the bow of the Titanic. The Coast Guard conducted hearings last year to hear testimony from OceanGate employees and others involved in the dive. OceanGate operations director David Lochridge testified about the business climate at the company and about what he said was Rush's penchant for playing fast and loose with the rules. Lochridge told the panel that the company's goal was to turn a profit, that OceanGate ignored obvious safety issues, and that "very little" science was involved in carrying out the sub's dives. OceanGate's former engineering director, Tony Nissen, testified that he was fired because he refused to approve a planned expedition after the submersible was struck by lightning, which compromised its experimental carbon fiber hull. "Stockton [Rush] would fight for what he wanted and, even if it changed from day to day, he wouldn't give an inch. Most people would eventually back down to Stockton. It was death by a thousand cuts," he testified. The 21-foot Titan submersible lost contact with the crew of the Polar Prince about 1 hour and 45 minutes into its dive on June 18, 2023. Responders scoured the North Atlantic Ocean, near the wreckage of the Titanic passenger liner that sank in 1912, to find the missing vessel before its oxygen ran out. The Coast Guard said in September 2024 that the Titan crew sent a message during the fateful dive that "all is well" just before the deadly implosion. It was the final communication from the Titan before the implosion. Neubauer's listed extensive causes of the disaster and recommendations for future vessels. "The board determined the primary contributing factors were OceanGate's inadequate design, certification, maintenance and inspection process for the Titan," Neubauer said in the press release announcing the report. "Other factors cited in the report include a toxic workplace culture at OceanGate, an inadequate domestic and international regulatory framework for submersible operations and vessels of novel design, and an ineffective whistleblower process under the Seaman's Protection Act. "The board also found OceanGate failed to properly investigate and address known hull anomalies following its 2022 Titanic expedition. Investigators determined the Titan's real-time monitoring system generated data that should have been analyzed and acted on during the 2022 Titanic expedition. However, OceanGate did not take any action related to the data, conduct any preventative maintenance or properly store the Titan during the extended off season before its 2023 Titanic expedition." He went on to list recommendations for further dives, including restrictions on oceanographic research vessels, expanding requirements to all submersibles and requiring Coast Guard documentation for all U.S. submersibles. Neubauer also recommended "adding Coast Guard personnel capacity at Coast Guard Headquarters to support new construction oversight and field inspections involving submersibles and vessels of novel design." Other recommendations include submitting Coast Guard search and rescue plans, safety requirements, whistleblower agreements and investigative protocols. In August 2024, Paul Henry Nargeolet's family filed suit demanding OceanGate to pay $50 million for the explorer's wrongful death. The family's lawsuit filed in a court in Seattle accuses OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush and others of gross negligence and wrongful death.
