Joel, who bought the estate in 2002 for $22.5 million, listed it in 2008 for $32.5 million, but pulled it from the market, the outlet reported.

He has been active on the real estate market, having purchased a 13,000-square-foot, eight bedroom mansion in Palm Beach for $22.1 million in 2015. He subsequently put the 1.6-acre property back on the market in 2018 for $21.9 million.  

The Grammy winner sold the vacant lot at 1930 South Ocean Boulevard in Palm Beach in 2018 for $7.5 million. The lot is next to another home he listed for $16.9 million in 2018 as well. 

In 2021, developer Todd Michael Glaser flipped Joel’s former Miami Beach home in eight months for $6.8 million after having purchased it for $5 million.
