Charlie Jacobs, owner of the Boston Bruins, has purchased a home in Wellington, Florida, for $10 million. The transaction was completed through Jacobs’ entity, CMJ Hurlingham LLC, which acquired the property at 2982 Hurlingham Drive from John and Leslie Malone. Amy Carr of Engel & Völkers Wellington represented the buyer, while Cameron Wentworth Scott of Wellington Equestrian Realty handled the listing.
John Malone is known as a cable magnate with a reported net worth of $11.2 billion according to Forbes. He chairs Liberty Media in Englewood, Colorado and previously served as CEO of Tele-Communications from 1973 to 1996. Malone holds significant shares in Discovery, Inc., and played a key role in its $43 billion merger with WarnerMedia in 2022. Through Liberty Media, he also has interests in Formula 1 and the Atlanta Braves. Malone is recognized as the second largest landowner in North America with approximately 2.2 million acres.
Leslie Malone is an equestrian and supporter of the U.S. Olympic Dressage team.
The Malones originally bought the house for $7.8 million in 2013. Built on nearly one acre in 1998, it spans about 7,300 square feet and features seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, one half-bathroom, and a pool. The residence is located within Palm Beach Polo & Country Club and borders Cypress Preserve.
The home was listed last year for $16 million.
Charlie Jacobs is part of the Jacobs family whose estimated net worth stands at $5.4 billion according to Forbes. His father Jeremy Jacobs founded Delaware North—a food services company based in Buffalo that operates at major venues such as Wembley Stadium and TD Garden where the Boston Bruins play. In recent years Jeremy Jacobs began transitioning control of both Delaware North and the Bruins to his six children; Charlie Jacobs now serves as CEO for both organizations.
Jacobs and his children are active participants in Wellington’s Winter Equestrian Festival. He also owns another property at 11663 Maidstone Drive which he purchased for $2.8 million in 2021; this property was listed for sale at $6.8 million earlier this year.
This sale adds to other high-value real estate transactions recently seen in Wellington’s equestrian community—including acquisitions by members of the Anheuser-Busch family and Thomas Kirk Kristiansen of Lego fame.
