Tommy Hilfinger Sells a House
Well, at least he put it on the market. When and for what price it sells remains to be seen. The initial asking price is $28 million.
As faithful readers of this blog will recall, it was less than ten months ago that Tommy was planting trees.

By the time spring gets here and the house-lookers are out in force, they should be pretty handsome.
What does 28 mill buy in this Town these days? The mandatory minimum of 20,000 square feet which all serious home-buyers are looking for, of course; an "infinity-edge" swimming pool; a tennis court; a basketball court (Tommy plays basketball?! That's new news to your scribe!); a pool pavilion; a 2,000-bottle wine cellar; a sauna and massage room; a suede-lined home theatre for two dozen of your closest friends (popcorn machine included); and "lush gardens". Oh, and let's not forget the allee of instant trees.
For those who may not yet know what an "infinity-edge" swimming pool is, it is a pool at the far end of which the water seems to fall away over the edge of the pool in an apparent drop into the landscape beyond.....
