Robbie Williams 'splashes out on £30MILLION waterfront mansion in Miami which boasts seven bedrooms, an 18-car garage, wine cellar and its own dock'
Robbie Williams has reportedly splashed out on a new £30 million waterfront mansion in Miami. The singer, 51, and his wife Ayda Field will soon be moving into the sprawling US property, according to The New York Post. The lavish home boasts seven bedrooms, an 18-car garage, wine cellar and its own dock directly onto the water. In addition to the £30 million price tag he reportedly spent another £4 million on furniture, adjustments and building renovations to make it the perfect family home. It comes after last May he sold his LA mansion for £51.6 million ($65M) - making a handsome £12.3million in just over two years. He hired Miami property developer Manny Angelo Varas to extend and perfect the home. He told the publication: 'We're doing a ground-up build. He'll be relocating immediately to the existing home, and we're going to be doing new construction, adding between 2,500 and 3,500 square feet. 'We're creating functional spaces that could be used as a recording studio and multiple different functions. 'So he's able to work from home when he's not on tour.' There are also reportedly plans for a floating padel court, which would be the first of its kind for a US home. Robbie bought his new home from Real Housewives of Miami star Dr Nicole Martin and husband Anthony Lopez. Robbie sold his LA home last year. The sale meant the British singer looked to be cutting ties with Hollywood for good after owning a place there for 18 years. He purchased the huge property, which sits on 1.95 acres, in uber-rich Holmby Hills for £39.3million in March 2022. The three-house estate featured eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, pool and tennis court, plus an impressive garage that holds 15 luxury cars, all spanning over 18,900 sq ft. Dubbed the 'Funny Girl' Estate, the property was originally constructed in 1938 for the renowned comedian Fanny Brice. She was famously played by Barbara Streisand in a Broadway musical based on her life The starlet, whose life is the subject of semi-biographical musical Funny Girl, lived at the Faring Estate until she died in 1951. Robbie has now sold four properties in the last two years, with his only other remaining asset being his £17.5million Kensington, London home. According to documents, the new owner is Lapro Property Trust, which is a Sydney-based entity associated with Aussie billionaire Nick Molnar, who co-founded Afterpay. Molnar previously purchased Matthew Perry's Century City penthouse for £16.6M in 2021 - and sold it to Rihanna two years later. Robbie seems in a big hurry to get rid of his properties. In 2022 he even revealed he had nowhere to live after selling his home in Wiltshire and his previous Los Angeles property. He sold a ten bedroom, twenty-two bathroom LA mansion to Drake in a private $35-$50 million deal for the ten bedroom, twenty-two bathroom mansion. The 2022 sale came two months after Robbie found a buyer for his Wiltshire home in a deal worth £6.75million. Speaking to Australian radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson, Robbie said at the time: 'We're actually nowhere.' 'We haven't got an abode right now, we've pretty much sold everywhere, we don't live anywhere and we're trying to figure it out.' Robbie and his wife Ayda, 46, share four children, Teddy, 11, son Charlie, nine, daughter Coco, five and three-year-old son Beau. Robbie previously said that his kids are a massive factor in deciding where to live because they need to be placed in suitable schools. He explained: 'The four kids are constantly a Rubix Cube puzzle that we're trying to sort out because if they are schooled then they don't see me because I'm all over the place and if they are home-schooled then they have another set of things that are a problem.' Speaking in 2014, Robbie - then a father of two - admitted he was keen to make the United Kingdom his permanent base after spending an extended period of time in the United States. He told The Sun: 'I love LA. The people and the weather are great but it's not England. It can't offer the same. Things change when you're a dad - there are people to look after who are more important than yourself. 'I want [daughter] Teddy and the new baby, whatever it may be, to be educated in England. Teddy is already surrounded by English people so she's bound to have an accent anyway. 'But that's not the point - we want to educate her in London. We've just bought a ruddy big house so we had better be coming back!'

Trump wants to roll back $7 billion in grants for solar projects in low-income communities
The Trump administration is reportedly considering terminating a $7 billion grant program aimed at helping low- and moderate-income families install home solar panels, part of the White House's larger campaign to claw back billions in Biden-era climate spending. The Environmental Protection Agency is in the process of drafting termination letters to the 60 state agencies, nonprofit groups, and Native American tribes awarded the funding through the Solar for All initiative, part of the Biden administration's landmark 2022 climate law. The agency said Tuesday it has not made a final decision about the grants. Environmental groups say if Trump does go through with the cancellation, the effort will face legal challenges. Wiping away the grants would halt many projects before they were complete. The first Solar for All projects, efforts to install residential solar and battery storage systems for tribal communities in Montana and South Dakota, went online in October 2024. 'One in five households on reservations lack access to electricity, and this program was an opportunity to close that gap,' Cody Two Bears, the chief executive of Indigenized Energy, told The New York Times, which first reported on the cancellation effort. 'But those were just two kickoff projects to show what was coming for the next five years.' Critics of the Trump administration and climate experts said cancelling the grants, which were projected to serve about 900,000 people, would be bad public policy that hurts low-income families and the climate. 'Solar for All is laser focused on helping nearly a million low-income families afford electricity at a time when their bills keep going up,' Zealan Hoover, the EPA's former director of implementation, told The Washington Post. 'If the Trump administration is serious about energy abundance and affordability, then they should be working hard to accelerate — not terminate — these grants.' 'Solar for All means lower utility bills, many thousands of good-paying jobs and real action to address the existential threat of climate change,' Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who championed the program, said in a statement on Tuesday. 'At a time when working families are getting crushed by skyrocketing energy costs and the planet is literally burning, sabotaging this program isn't just wrong — it's absolutely insane.' In March, the EPA said it was terminating a separate pot of $20 billion in climate funding, prompting a legal challenge. In April, a federal judge issued an injunction siding with grant recipients. The administration's One, Big Beautiful Bill spending package, signed in July, repealed the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, the single largest portion of climate money under the Biden law, and ordered any unassigned funds back to the U.S. Treasury. There is an ongoing legal battle between grantees and the federal government over the fate of much of the IRA's climate funding. Grantees say much of the funds were legally obligated before Trump took office and immune from presidential action, while the administration claims it claw the funds back.

NYC faces $64 million cut in security funds from Trump administration
WASHINGTON, Aug 5 (Reuters) - The Trump administration said it would cut terrorism prevention funding for New York City, according to a grant notice posted days after a gunman killed four people inside a Manhattan skyscraper. The Federal Emergency Management Agency said in a grant notice, opens new tab posted on Friday that New York City would receive $64 million less this year from its urban area security fund. The U.S. Congress created the program to help cities prevent terrorist and other violent attacks. Manhattan has been the site of two attacks on high-profile corporate executives in the last year. The most recent attack occurred in late July when a gunman armed with an assault-style rifle killed four people inside an office building that houses the headquarters of the NFL and several major financial firms. 'It makes absolutely no sense, and no justification has been given to cut NY's allocation given the rise in the threat environment,' a spokesperson for the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services said in a statement. A spokesperson for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Tuesday defended the move, saying New York City had not spent all of its counter-terrorism money from previous years. Reuters could not independently verify that assertion. Governor Kathy Hochul highlighted the latest attack in a letter, opens new tab to Noem in July that asked why the Trump administration had not announced the amounts each city would receive from the program this year. DHS is the parent agency of FEMA. The agency uses 'an analysis of relative risk of terrorism' to decide how much money each city will receive, according to the grant notice posted on Friday. The agency may change the amounts later, according to the notice. In 2023, the agency considered city visitor counts, population density and proximity to international borders, among other factors, to determine the totals, according to a report signed by then-FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell. FEMA has been decreasing terrorism prevention money for New York City each year since at least fiscal year 2022. The drop is much more drastic this year at 41% year-over-year. The New York City Police Department has used the funding in the past to pay for the Domain Awareness System, a network of cameras, license plate readers and detection devices, according to a 2016 statement, opens new tab from former Mayor Bill de Blasio's office.
