Australian supermodel Kristy Hinze Clark and her tech titan husband Jim Clark have just offloaded their peerless 15 acre home for a king’s ransom.
According to the New York Post, the pending sale of the Palm Beach, Florida mansion for around $US175 million ($A251.05m) will smash the previous record for a property transfer in the state by around $US35m.
Hinze Clarke and her billionaire internet beau stand to make around $US81m on the home, which was a “spur of the moment purchase”, in just 15 months.
According to property records, the couple bought the home for $94,173,300 on March 8, 2021.

The Clarks decided to part with the home because they were not spending enough time there and also because they were wary of ominous economic conditions.
The home boasts more than three football fields of waterfrontage, a three-hole PGA standard golf course, 30 bedrooms and 360-degree water views.
The home sits on an exclusive barrier island, only accessible by a series of tunnels but is only a short drive from the upscale shopping and dining district of Worth Avenue, Palm Beach.
The “15-acre ocean-to-lake estate stands alone in all of the Palm Beaches for its beauty, privacy, amenities and sheer scale”, read the listing when the home was previously on the market.

“A true family compound, the estate offers a 12-bedroom main residence; two four-bedroom beachside cottages; the seven-bedroom Mango House; and a guest or staff house comprising four studios and apartments.
“In total there are more than 30 bedrooms, a series of formal and informal living and dining areas, a media room, libraries, offices, numerous terraces, an expansive wine cellar and two elevators.”
