Caryn Zucker, the ex-wife of CNN chief Jeff Zucker, paid $8.4 million for a villa in Palm Beach.

Property records show healthcare executive Philip Carter and his wife, Julia, sold the 7,021-square-foot house at 167 Seabreeze Avenue.

The home, built in 2002, has five bedrooms and six bathrooms, a pool and three-car garage. It was listed for $11.5 million and later reduced to about $10.5 million.

Nick Grodzicki of One Sotheby’s International Realty represented the buyer. Jim McCann with Premier Estate Properties represented the seller.

The two-story, Mediterranean-style house sits on nearly half an acre, and features covered loggias, gardens, a first-floor master suite, cabana, gym, and two family rooms.
