Sean Hannity, 62, bought the estate through a limited liability company, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, December 3, quoting sources said to be familiar with the deal.

The home was listed for sale in February for an asking price of $29 million but was relisted for $25.95 million in October, according to Zillow. 

Notably, the seller also purchased the property through a limited liability company for $18 million in 2021. The seller's identity could not be confirmed, but mortgage documents for the Hannity sale list the LLC's president as Tom Del Bosco who has ties with the hedge fund Alden Global Capital, according to Newsmax.

Sean Hannity announces he would be broadcasting his radio show from new home

Sean Hannity said earlier in 2024 that he was leaving New York for Florida where he would record his radio program 'The Sean Hannity Show' and his Fox News show 'Hannity' from studios located in West Palm Beach.

He said in January, "We are now beginning our first broadcast of my new home, and that is in the free state of Florida. I am out. I am done. I'm finished. New York, New York, goodbye. Florida, Florida, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. But it's great to be here."

Hannity is the latest celebrity who has bought real estate in Manalapan, which has seen an increase in the luxury market from the spillover of those from the neighboring Palm Beach area - especially after Trump's presidential victory, according to Daily Mail.

Billionaire tech entrepreneur Jim Clark bought an expansive estate called 'Gemini' worth $94 million in March 2021. In 2022, Larry Ellison, the co-founder of Oracle, paid $173 million for the same oceanfront estate after he was unable to initially buy the incredible property. 

In 2008, Hannity and his then-wife, Jill, paid $10.5 million for a 10,600-square-foot waterfront mansion in Oyster Bay, New York, which was sold to a fan for $12.7 million in cash in June 2024, according to the outlet.
