Terry McGuirk, chairman of the Atlanta Braves, bought a penthouse in Palm Beach for $5.9 million.
Records show McGuirk and his wife, Nancy McGuirk, bought penthouse B at Four Hundred South Ocean at 400 South Ocean Boulevard from Kevin Byrne and William Ameringer. The deal marked the priciest condo sale in Palm Beach County last week.
Christian Angle with Christian Angle Real Estate had the listing, and Crista Ryan with Tina Fanjul Associates brought the buyer.
Terry McGuirk is the longtime chairman and CEO of Braves Holdings, the parent company of the Atlanta Braves and Braves Development Company. His involvement with the team dates back to Ted Turner’s 1976 purchase of the team. McGuirk was a longtime executive with Turner’s Turner Broadcasting, and stayed on as chairman of the Braves when Turner sold the team to billionaire John Malone’s Liberty Media in 2007, according to published reports. In November, Malone bolstered McGuirk’s power within the team, granting him new voting rights as well as right of first refusal on potential future team stock sales by Malone, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Nancy McGuirk is an author and founder of the Women’s Community Bible Study of Atlanta, according to her bio.
