Biography & Early Wealth Journey

Helen Steinkraus got her last name from Olympic show jumper William Steinkraus and later became an equestrian enthusiast herself, so it makes sense that Great Island is also home to a generous equestrian complex, including a 20-stall stable, a Grand Prix arena for jumping and riding, an exercise track, and more.

If a buyer is found and the $175 million asking price is met, it will break the record set in 2014 by a $145 million property in the Hamptons in New York (the record-breaking aspect may or may not end up being a selling point). The sale is being handled by agent David Ogilvy of David Ogilvy & Associates Realtors, who also handled the $120 million sale of a property just nine miles away from this one back in 2014, and he seems optimistic about the prospects for this potentially record-breaking sale:

"The market for $100 million and up is a very small market. Since we have one that sold here, that gives us something very good to work from."
