Cannabis billionaire buys waterfront Boca mansion for $14M

UPDATED, Dec. 7, 8:45 a.m.: Russian-American billionaire and businessman Boris Jordan paid $14 million for a waterfront mansion in Boca Raton.  

Jordan, executive chairman of the cannabis company Curaleaf, bought the home at 1175 Spanish River Road from Richard Tarlow, a veteran advertising executive in New York, property records show. 

Curaleaf has 93 dispensaries in the U.S., and Jordan’s net worth is $1.7 billion, according to Forbes.

The 8,303-square-foot mansion fronts the Intracoastal Waterway and was built by homebuilder J.H. Norman and architect George Brewer in 2015. Marc Michael designed the interiors. 

The two-story house has five bedrooms, six full bathrooms, two half-bathrooms and a pool.
