John Henry, a future and foreign exchange trading advisor who founded John W. Henry & Company (JWH), is constructing a massive 35,000+ square foot mega mansion off of Cottage Street in Brookline, MA. Henry, who is also the principal owner of the Boston Red Sox, bought the property from Frank McCourt, the notorious, soon-to-be-ex owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who was once Henry’s rival for ownership of the Sox. He paid $16 million for the 6.3 acre property four years ago. He tore down Frank’s 13,000 square foot colonial to make way for this monstrosity. The house is code-named “Summera House” and will boast a home theater with lobby, a grotto, a two-tier garage for eight cars, a safe room, sports lounge, 30′ x 50′ granite swimming pool and more.

Back in 2008, John said he was going to spend $10 million building the home. According to Boston Magazine, he had a net worth of $1.1 billion back in 2006.

This grand castle, dubbed Fort Brecqhou, is located on Sark Island, which is a small island in the Channel Islands in southwestern English Channel, off the French coast of Normandy. It is owned by David and Frederick Barclay, the reclusive British billionaires. The identical twin brothers have very substantial business interests primarily in media, retail and property. The Sunday Times Rich List of 2007 estimated their wealth at £1.8 billion.

FROM TAEDIVM:

The brothers guard their privacy to such an extent that they even erected a grand Gothic-style castle, complete with 100-foot-high granite walls, spires, towers, gilded turrets, battlements, a moat and a helipad. No expense was spared. According to a builder on the project, the banqueting room is 80 meters long and has a gold-leaf ceiling; the library ceiling is hand-painted, inspired by the Sistine Chapel. The honey-colored, cliff-top fortress (Fort Brecqhou) was finished in 1996 after some 90,000 tons of materials were carried to Brecqhou by boat. At a cost of between £30-60 million, it is the largest one built in the 20th century.
