2003: THE FAIREST OF THEM ALL? | The fourth most expensive home in the world, Ira Rennert’s Fair Field in Sagaponack, not only broke the record in terms of size, it also broke the mold. Rumored to be worth $200 million, the 100,000-square-foot Italianate mansion (with 29 bedrooms and 39 bathrooms) was completed in 2003 on 63 oceanfront acres, which Rennert purchased for a reported $11 million. Public outcry prompted Southampton Town to put a limit of 20,000 square feet on future residences.
