Dave Portnoy Reportedly Buys $42 Million Nantucket Estate, Setting a Record

Dave Portnoy reportedly just splashed out a huge sum of money on real estate.

A waterfront estate along Nantucket Harbor sold on Friday (September 29) for $42 million, a record for both the island and the state of Massachusetts.

Sources say the buyer is believed to be the 46-year-old founder of the media company Barstool Sports, via the Nantucket Current.

The purchase includes two separate lots that have been developed as a single property, and includes roughly $2 million worth of furniture and amenities in the fully furnished estate.

Dave also seemingly confirmed the news on X, formerly Twitter.

“Nantucket has always been my favorite place on earth. The best day of my year was heading to the island for vacation. The worst day was taking the ferry back home. Once Barstool started taking off I dreamed of buying a place where I could see the ferry come and go and have privacy because seeing the ferry leave makes me appreciate every second I got to spend on the island,” he said.

“I went from being able to afford renting for a day to a weekend to a week to a month to renting for the entire summer to buying a house to now buying a house beyond even my wildest imaginations.”

The combined 1.2-acre property includes a waterside main dwelling, a guesthouse, and a pool by the Nantucket construction firm Reid Builders, designed by architect Andrew Kotchen of Workshop/APD and landscape architect Miroslava Ahern. The two houses are connected by an underground tunnel. Click here to see photos.

POV: Researchers often undercount how much visual misinformation is on Facebook

How much misinformation is on Facebook? Several studies have found that the amount of misinformation on Facebook is  low  or that the problem has  declined   over   time . This previous work, though, missed most of the story. We are a  communications researcher , a  media and public affairs researcher , and a  founder of a digital intelligence company . We conducted a study that shows that  massive amounts of misinformation have been overlooked  by other studies. The biggest source of misinformation on Facebook is not links to fake news sites but something more basic: images. And a large portion of posted pictures are misleading. For instance, on the eve of the 2020 election, nearly one out of every four political image posts on Facebook contained misinformation.
