CEO’s and celebrities on Nantucket? You bet!
By Brian-Logan Reid, Broker
I was in the Grand Union grocery store yesterday and saw Daphne Zuniga (remember Spaceballs!?), which got me thinking about all the VIP’s that own property or frequent Nantucket. So I thought it would be interesting to compile an unofficial list of the folks that I know that own “houses” or have visited the ‘grey lady’:
Current or previous owner’s of Nantucket real estate:
Eric Schmidt - CEO - Google

That’s so funny! I had rented the house that Jake bought to some custmerss and they offered the owners $7mm in cash and the owners said they wouldn’t accept anything less than $10mm for it…which is what he bought it for! Oh and it’s on the market for $25mm now…some appreciation!!
