It’s a sad day for many conservatives who were fans of radio icon and conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh.
William P. Lauder has purchased the 2.6-acre estate from Kathryn Adams Limbaugh, the radio host’s widow, for $155 million setting a new record for Palm Beach.
A demolition crew is now tearing it all down to make way for Lauder’s own custom home on the high-value parcel of land.
Conservative radio and television personality Mark Levin took to Twitter after the news broke saying “I spent some time at Rush’s home. Sorry to see it demolished. I suppose it was a matter of when not if.”

Many of his followers commented on the story sharing their thoughts as well with one user writing “I hate that. They tear down beautiful homes that have the character of the area and put up modern buildings with no character at all. It’s sad,” while another said “Very sad to see this. Rush’s words and legacy continue however.”

This isn’t the first time Lauder has purchased an expensive home in Palm Beach only to raze it and use it for something else.
USA Today reported he demolished another $110 million mansion located just down the street from Limbaugh’s former home in 2022 before combining it with an empty lot he had acquired next to it before selling off both parcels together for a reported $200 million making it “the most expensive vacant property ever listed for sale in Palm Beach.”
