Tom Ford Sold His Fashion Label for Billions. His Newest Empire: A $250 Million Trophy Home Collection. A look at the fashion mogul’s property portfolio, which includes a $42.25 million Aspen mansion and the Hamptons compound where a young Jackie Kennedy spent her summers.

In early 2023, fashion designer Tom Ford sold his eponymous New York-based fashion brand to Estée Lauder in a deal valued at $2.8 billion. Since then, he has been on a real-estate buying spree: That same year, he added at least three trophy homes in rapid succession to his already significant real-estate portfolio.

Ford presides over a real-estate empire that includes homes in New York, Los Angeles, Palm Beach, Fla., and the Hamptons. His U.S. homes are likely now worth in excess of $250 million, according to property records and people familiar with the situation. Most recently, Ford quietly paid $42.25 million for an Aspen, Colo., mansion in a previously unreported deal.
