This home, located in Pierre Part, LA belongs to Troy A. Landry and Bernita A. Landry. Troy Landry along with his sons Jacob and Chase, and their family friend Clint together are featured on the hit television show Swamp People, featured on the History Channel.
Swamp People is an American reality series that debuted on History on August 22, 2010. The show follows the day-to-day activities for several Cajuns living in the Atchafalaya River Basin swamp in Louisiana, USA who hunt American alligators for a living.
Each season, the series focuses on various teams of alligator hunters, who have 30 days to make most of their yearly income culling the alligator population in the swamps. They are issued a certain number of tags each year, and once they "tag out," (run out of tags), the season is over, and they may no longer kill any more alligators for the rest of the season. Hunting alligators is a Cajun tradition dating back 300 years.
Troy Landry has appeared in all seasons of Swamp People and Pierre Part, where he lives, is approximately 1 1/2 hours from New Orleans (almost due South).
His family has deep roots in the region – five generations of Landrys have been shrimpers, trappers, fishermen, moss peddlers, lumberjacks and hunters. His wife Bernita is a History Channel publicist.
Landry's home in Pierre Part is constructed of cypress that was pulled log-by-log from nearby swamps over a period of 30 years. The home is the realization of Landry's dream - built without a single piece of sheetrock, and part of the environment in which he and his family make their livelihood. In an article about the home, Landry tells the story of how he was able to get the cypress by carefully storing each log that he pulled out of the swamps in a big shed until he had enough for construction. "When I had enough logs, I gave half of the lumber to the sawmill to have it sawed for me.” The home is positioned on a sliver of high ground along a two-lane highway between Baton Rouge and Morgan City,
Troy Landry's net worth is approximately $650 thousand.

Megaupload Founder Kim Dotcom's Estate (Most Expensive Home in New Zealand)
This is the Coatesville, New Zealand mansion of Kim Dotcom (Kim Schmitz or Kim Tim Jim Vestor), the founder and "chief innovation officer" of MegaUpload. He is a computer hacker turned online file-sharing tycoon at the centre of an FBI-led crackdown on online piracy that has spread to New Zealand. He is a a resident of both Hong Kong and New Zealand, and a dual citizen of Finland and German. Prior to becoming an entrepreneur, Schmitz gained notoriety as a computer criminal who was convicted of credit card fraud, hacking, insider trading, and embezzlement.
New Zealand's most expensive home the $30 million "Chrisco" mansion is understood to have finally sold. Nearly two years after owners Richard and Ruth Bradley founders of the Chrisco Christmas hamper empire moved to Sydney, the 24.3ha estate has been taken over by a Finnish man in a long-term lease deal. The mansion was completed in 2006, and features six bedrooms, a tennis court, a lap pool, and a large tropical fish tank. A barn and garage area sits next to the main house, overlooking a roll of hills, palm trees and a garden maze. The grounds also feature life-size sculptures of a mother and baby giraffe and a realistic rhinoceros.
A computer hacker turned online file-sharing tycoon is the man at the centre of an FBI-led crackdown on online piracy that has spread to New Zealand. Kim Dotcom (also known as Kim Schmitz) is a 39-year-old German who also holds Finnish citizenship, and has Hong Kong and New Zealand residency. He lives in New Zealand's most expensive house - the $30 million former Chrisco mansion in Coatesville, north of Auckland - which was raided by police on Friday morning as they executed search warrants as part of a probe into the Schmitz-founded file-sharing website
Megaupload.com, a file-sharing website, was shut down as part of an alleged $175 million copyright infringement conspiracy, triggering an online protest that disrupted websites of the U.S. Justice Department and movie and music trade groups. Charges against seven individuals, Megaupload Ltd. and Vestor Ltd. were unsealed yesterday in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, after four of the alleged conspirators were arrested in Auckland, New Zealand. Three suspects remain at large, according to the Justice Department. Two corporations – Megaupload Limited and Vestor Limited – were indicted by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia on January 5th, 2012, and charged with “engaging in a racketeering conspiracy, conspiring to commit copyright infringement, conspiring to commit money laundering and two substantive counts of criminal copyright infringement.” On January 19, 2012, the authorities executed in excess of 20 search warrants in the United States and eight other countries. This is where one of those took place.
Prosecutors said the conspiracy was led by Kim Dotcom, a 37-year-old resident of Hong Kong and New Zealand, and a dual citizen of Finland and Germany, who had legally changed his last name. Dotcom founded Megaupload Ltd. and is the director and sole shareholder of Vestor Ltd., according to the indictment.
In 2010, Dotcom received more than $42 million from the conspiracy, the indictment alleges. Dotcom, who also goes by Kim Schmitz and Kim Tim Jim Vestor, was one of those arrested. In 2002, Dotcom, then using the name Schmitz, was deported from Thailand to Germany to face insider trading and fraud charges. He was a hacker who cracked the computer systems of banks and government organizations including those of Citibank Ltd. and the U.S. Pentagon, then fled to Thailand to avoid indictment in Germany, Deutsche Presse Agentur reported. The other three taken into custody were: Finn Batato, a German resident and chief marketing officer, Mathias Ortmann, co-founder and director, and Bram van der Kolk, who oversees programming of the Megaupload websites. Julius Bencko, a resident of Slovakia and graphic designer, Sven Echternach, a resident of Germany and head of business development, and Andrus Nomm, a citizen of Estonia and head of software development, were also charged. Assets belonging to the founders including a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe among luxury cars.
Megaupload is advertised as having more than 1 billion visits to the site, more than 150 million registered users, 50 million daily visitors, and accounts for 4 percent of Internet traffic, prosecutors said. The case is U.S. v. Dotcom, 12-00003, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Virginia (Alexandria).

“On October 26, 2011, Gupta was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on charges of securities fraud and conspiracy as part of an ongoing and wide-ranging insider trading case in which Gupta's close associates Raj Rajaratnam and Anil Kumar were convicted and pled guilty, respectively.” “The SEC had said Gupta passed illegal tips to Raj Rajaratnam about Goldman, including a possible multibillion dollar investment from Warren Buffett, as well as tips about Procter & Gamble Co, where Gupta was also a director.”
“The Securities and Exchange Commission sued Gupta the same day. Gupta entered a plea of not guilty and was released on $10 million bail. Previously, from March to August 2011, the SEC had filed administrative suit against Gupta, been countersued by Gupta, and then dropped those charges. During that period, Gupta's conversations on tape with Rajaratnam, particularly those made while Gupta was a board member of Goldman Sachs, were played during Rajaratnam's trial and attracted widespread attention and notoriety. In the lead up and wake of the original SEC charges, Gupta resigned the majority of his corporate and philanthropic positions.”
Rajat Gupta’s associate, Raj Rajaratnam, is the founder of Galleon Group, which was one of the largest hedge fund management firms in the world, managing over $7 billion, before closing in October 2009.

Viktor Vekselberg's Estate (57th Richest Man in the World)
This is the rustic Weston, Connecticut mansion of Viktor Felixovich Vekselberg and Marina Dobrynina Vekselberg. Viktor Vekselberg is the main owner and president of Renova Group, a large Russian conglomerate with interests in aluminum, oil, energy, telecoms and a variety of other sectors. The Renova Group is primarily active in Russia, the C.I.S. states, Switzerland, South Africa and the United States. Its major assets include participation in the oil company TNK-BP and in aluminum producer RUSAL. Mr. Vekselberg's net worth, as of 2012 is estimated at $13.0 Billion (13,000,000,000.) He is the 10th richest individual in Russia, and the 57th richest man in the world, according to Forbes (that the public is aware of). He also owns a pied-à-terre in the Park Millennium in Midtown Manhattan. Both of these properties were mentioned in an article featured on Gawker.com
Born on April 14, 1956, Drohobych, Ukraine, Soviet Union, he graduated from the Moscow Transportation Engineering Institute in 1979. In 1993, he became Chairman of the Board of Directors of Renova, one of Russia's most progressive investment and business development companies. After working as an engineer in an obscure state lab for many years, Vekselberg moved to business in 1990. He rose to prominence after Boris Yeltsin's reelection in 1996 as co-owner and chairman of Tyumen Oil (TNK), one of Russia's largest oil and gas companies. He took a controlling interest in the company in 1997 and has subsequently developed a joint venture with BP. About the same time he co-founded SUAL Holding, which since grew to control Russia's second-largest aluminum business and is ranked ninth in the world. Later, he integrated those and other assets under the umbrella of Renova Group, delegating operating responsibilities to managers. Acting as a chairman of the executive board of TNK, he was instrumental in negotiating and establishing a 50–50 joint venture with British Petroleum in the largest private transaction in Russian history. He is currently a member of the board of directors and the vice-president of TNK-BP. Vekselberg is now overseeing a vast restructuring of his assets: the division of property with partner Leonard Blavatnik, the merger of Renova's aluminum assets with those of Oleg Deripaska, and the integration of various electricity and telecommunications investment. Viktor Vekselberg is often considered to be one of the remaining Russian oligarchs. He and his wife, Marina Dobrynina, have two children, a daughter, Irena, who attended business school at the Yale School of Management, and a son, Aleksander, who studies at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.
In February 2004, Vekselberg purchased nine of the Fabergé eggs from the Forbes publishing family in New York City. The collection was transported to Russia and exhibited in the Kremlin and in Dubrovnik in 2007. Vekselberg is the single largest owner of these eggs in the world, owning 15 of them (11 Imperial, two Kelch, and two other). In September 2006, he agreed to pay the approximately $1 million in expenses to transport the Lowell House Bells from Harvard University in the United States back to their original location in the Danilov Monastery and to purchase replacement bells. The historic bells returned to Moscow September 12, 2008, with the assistance of the U.S. Director of the organization, Edward Mermelstein. In April 2009, Swiss Federal Finance Department initiated a criminal investigation against Viktor Vekselberg in connection to alleged violations of securities law. As a result of the investigation, Viktor Vekselberg was fined for $38 million by Swiss authorities. In 2008, Viktor Vekselberg proxied a deal between Russian and Hungarian governments, buying the former embassy building from Hungary for $21 million and immediately selling it to the Russian government for $116 million, while the market price of the building was estimated at $50 million. Investigation of the paper trail by Alexey Navalny and the Rospil project has found several invalid and backdated documents, thus suggesting collusion (e.g. the tender held by the Hungarian side was totally fictive, as the building was already sold by that time). Hungarian officials responsible for the deal (Tátrai Miklós, Marta Horvathne Fekszi and Arpad Szekely) were detained in February 2011, but no criminal investigation was started on the Russian side.
This estate, built in 2001, is currently listed under the ownership of Marina Dobrynina, when it was originally listed under Marina Vekselberg. The home was purchased on August 30, 2001 by an LLC for $5,000,000. The property borders the Saugatuck River, which flows into Long Island Sound. The home sits on 4.6 acres of land, which consist of a guest house, a tennis court with a basketball hoop, and a heated swimming pool. The main house has a total of 7,791 square feet of living space, including 1,131 square feet of space in the finished basement. There are 4 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms in the home, which is currently appraised at $4,523,100, according to public property records.

Mr. Jack, who joined the investment bank in the 1980s, left Lehman in 2005, three years before the firm, weighed down by billions of dollars in soured real estate assets, filed for bankruptcy. The home was purchased on 3/15/2001 for $24,450,000 by the Bradley and Karin Jack after selling the home next door to Andrew Beer and Eleanor Beer for $13,500,000 on the same day.
Bradley and Karin Jack, are the only residential homeowners in the top 10 of The 10 Largest Taxpayers on Fairfield's Grand List. The Jacks' house on Sasco Hill Road was assessed in Fairfield's recent town-wide revaluation at $24.2 million, an increase of $1 million over the prior assessment of $23.2 million. The new assessment gives the Jacks' house a market value of $34.6 million ($34,576,100). This was mentioned in many newspapers.
Bradley H. Jack served as the Chief Operating Officer of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., a holding of Lehman Brothers Inc. from May 2002 to May 2004. Mr. Jack has been Chairman of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. since May 2004 and serves as a Member of its Executive Committee.

The 26-room main house was built in 1928 and features 13,655 square feet of living space, with 5 bedrooms and 9 full bathrooms. There are also four other homes/cottages on the property that have an additional 8,107 square feet of living space, with 14 bedrooms, 8 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms.

There is also a tennis court, a swimming pool, and views of the Country Club of Fairfield golf course.
Bradley Jack also made national and local news when he was arrested in the summer of 2011. "Bradley Jack, 52, the owner of the most expensive residential property in Fairfield, has been charged with second-degree forgery and forgery of prescription after police said he tried to illegally obtain Oxycontin and Ritalin pills at the CVS Pharmacy, 961 Black Rock Turnpike. Jack, whose waterfront Sasco Hill Road property is appraised at $34.6 million, allegedly handed the CVS pharmacist a photocopy of a prescription on Friday, June 24, 2011 . The pharmacist, who said it would take an hour to fill, brought up Jack's prescription history on a computer and found the prescription had been filled at a Westport CVS nearly a week earlier. A call to the doctor's office confirmed the prescription was fraudulent, police said. The doctor's assistant also told the pharmacist the doctor's signature was not legitimate, according to police. When Jack returned to CVS, he was told to wait, but he decided to leave. However, a store employee followed him outside and recorded the license plate number of Jack's black Range Rover. The plate corresponded to an address in Westport on North Avenue where Jack now apparently lives, but a further check by Fairfield police showed the plate was once registered to the Sasco Hill address, where his ex-wife now lives, according to police. Police contacted Jack on his cell phone, prompting him to apologize, police said, and request a meeting at police headquarters. Jack allegedly told police he knew what he did was wrong and, according to police Lt. Jim Perez, he was then brought to the detention area of police headquarters."
"Bradley H. Jack, a former investment banking chief at Lehman Brothers, received court approval in August to enter a program that could allow him to avoid prosecution on charges that he forged a prescription for Oxycontin and Ritalin. The program, known as accelerated rehabilitation, is offered to people accused of less-serious crimes. A court official said Mr. Jack was scheduled to appear in court in Bridgeport, Conn., on Aug. 17, 2012. If Mr. Jack doesn't have another brush with the law, the charges against him are likely to be set aside."
"Connecticut state court records show that a Karin Jack, who had an address on Sasco Hill Road, divorced Bradley H. Jack, who had a different street address listed in the court papers. A Vanity Fair article published in March 2010 identified Karin Jack as the ex-wife of the former Lehman executive."

Alice Lawrence's House (former) by Rafael Viñoly
Located in Ridgefield, CT, this minimalist modern mansion sprung from the design table of Uruguayan architect Rafael Viñoly, part of the THINK team who competed to design the new World Trade Center. The home was also featured on the homepage of Yahoo's website and in an article about "extreme fireplaces" and on CNBC's website on January 10, 2012.
It has 50-mile views, with the highest views reserved for the kings of the castle: The master bedroom is located in a tower. The art gallery-esque residence has a bold inverted-pyramid fireplace design reminiscent of Aztec architecture. This estate has been on and off the market several times since 2008, when it had a starting price of $10 million. On December 28, 2010, through warranty deeds, the house was donated to Fairfield University located in Fairfield, Connecticut. The donation has spurred questions about why it was donated and for what purpose.
The family had no historical connection to Fairfield, but Robert Bercham, of Milford, CT, the family's lawyer did. He is a Fairfield graduate and from 1990-1996 sat on the university's Board of Trustees. He is now a trustee at the University of Bridgeport. The home was designed for Alice Lawrence, the widow of a Manhattan real estate developer known for her discerning eye and tenacious spirit, who died in 2008. Her art was sold at auction and the home, which has two bedrooms, and an angular concrete, steel and glass facade, was donated to the university in December of 2010.
Alice Lawrence was the widow of Sylvan Lawrence, a Manhattan real estate mogul who died in 1981. She was described as being both generous and strong willed. She once did battle with Lee Radziwill, Jacqueline Kennedy's sister, over the height of a fence between their East Hampton, N.Y. homes. After her husband's death, a battle ensued over his vast estate between Lawrence and Sylvan's brother, Seymour Cohn. Later, Lawrence sued attorneys who represented her in the estate battle for charging legal fees in excess of $40 million. That matter is still pending, but according to Bercham, it has nothing to do with Lawrence's assets or estate.
