Story summary

In January 2021, Tommy Hilfiger and his wife, Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger, sold their restored Greenwich, Connecticut estate for $45 million. The couple had bought the property in 2010 for $31.4 million and spent years renovating it. Situated on a 22-acre plot at 30 John St., atop Round Hill (the highest point in Greenwich), the estate offers panoramic views of Long Island Sound and Manhattan's skyline.

Designed by architect Greville Rickard, the French Normandy-style property was originally built for real estate magnate Charles Paterno in 1939. It later belonged to financier Joseph Hirshhorn, who used it as a setting for his art collection and sculpture garden before donating his works to other institutions. The Hilfigers had listed the estate for sale at $47.5 million but eventually sold it for $45 million after extensive renovations.
