The current owner is portfolio manager Brenda Earl, a former partner at equity fund Zweig-Dimenna. She purchased the property at 90 Jule Pond Drive in 2002 for $21.75million from an Italian financier. 

The home is known as Fordune and was built for Henry Ford II an his wife Anne McDonnell, who had the property title after their divorce. At the time, the home was 16,000 square foot and sat on 235 acres. The property was broken up into smaller parts since then. 

Fordune was renovated in 2008, but its original charm still remains with molded ceilings, Italian marble fireplaces, and French-style parquet floors.
