The Kennedy property was sold by Ms. Goldman, the head of Solil Management- a family organization that oversees assets identified with the fortune amassed by her late dad, New York City land speculator Sol Goldman. Forbes gauges her fortune at US$3.1 billion.
In May 2015, TGS Florida LLC purchased the property for $31 million, town hall records reveal. Goldman’s organization purchased the property from shipper financier John K Castle and his better half, Marianne. The Castles, thus, had purchased the domain from the Kennedy family in 1995 for a recorded $4.9 million.
The Palm Beach estate was structured in 1923 for Rodman Wanamaker, of the Philadelphia retail establishment family, by noted society draftsman Addison Mizner.
With its improved Mediterranean-style design, the house was initially named “La Querida”, approximately deciphered as “the darling”, albeit numerous sources have incorrectly recorded the name as “La Guerida”.
Kennedy Sr purchased the adjoining land to enlargen his property. He employed modeler Maurice Fatio to extend the house and include a two-story building, tennis court, and pool structure.

Prior to his political race to the administration, John Kennedy is said to have composed his Pulitzer Prize-winning book, “Profiles in Courage”, at the house while recovering from a serious medical procedure in 1956.
Subsequent to birthing her child in 1960, Jacqueline Kennedy recovered at the house. In November 1963, the president went through the end of the week in Palm Beach, preceding making a beeline for Texas, where he was ultimately assassinated.

Over the course of time, the property has been subjected to significant renovations. Priority, however, has been given to ensuring that the original architecture of the estate is maintained.
