The 20,000 square-foot, 12- bedroom, 12 bathroom home was built in 1960 for car-mogul Henry Ford's grandson and family.
The entire property sits on 42.12 acres with the Mecox Bay to the east and the Atlantic to the South. The property peninsulas three ponds and also has the largest unobstructed ocean-front view in the Hamptons that spans nearly a quarter mile.
The property includes tennis and basketball courts, a six-car garage, greenhouse, and carriage house, a 60m gunite pool and hot tub, complete with outdoor entertaining areas and shower room.

The current owner is portfolio manager Brenda Earl, a former partner at equity fund Zweig-Dimenna. She purchased the property at 90 Jule Pond Drive in 2002 for $21.75million from an Italian financier. 
The home is known as Fordune and was built for Henry Ford II and his wife Anne McDonnell, who had the property title after their divorce. At the time, the home was 16,000 square foot and sat on 235 acres. The property was broken up into smaller parts since then. 
Fordune was renovated in 2008, but its original charm still remains with molded ceilings, Italian marble fireplaces, and French-style parquet floors.

The living room is 48 feet in length and there are two master suites. The Chef's kitchen is 20'x28’ with a pantry and breakfast area. Throughout the home are high ceilings, a family room, recreation rooms, a bar, gym and sauna.
The listing stripped the title of most-expensive from another home in Southampton priced at $150million. The property belongs to Golden Sachs executive J. Michael Evans and his wife, Lise. It sits on 14 acres of land with 700 feet of ocean-front views. 
Though this is the priciest home in New York, it is still a hundred million away from the most expensive in the US. The Bel Air mansion is currently on the market at a whopping $350million.
