Barry Rosenstein isn’t just good at piling up money, he’s pretty good with sand too.
The billionaire hedge funder has raised a massive sand dune on his East Hampton estate, angering his neighbors in the exclusive enclave, the New York Post reported.
Rosenstein, co-manager at Jana Partners, bought the 18-acre beachfront parcel at 60 Further Lane last year for $147 million, the country’s most expensive home purchase at the time.
The sand pile was amassed in the process of excavating in order to build a new foundation.
“Barry Rosenstein’s sand mountain looms up above the trees and fills the horizon. As you face the sea, it looks like the Sahara,” a poetic neighbor told the Post.
