Dutch hedge funder Pieter Taselaar sells Palm Beach mansion in off-market deal
A secretive off-market sale of a Palm Beach mansion has left industry insiders speculating about the buyer's identity.
Dutch hedge fund manager Pieter Taselaar, founder of Lucerne Capital Management, recently sold his Palm Beach mansion for $29.5 million in an unpublicized transaction. Records show that the property at 158 Dunbar Road was sold to a trust managed by attorney Douglas Olin, but the true buyer remains unknown. Taselaar, who specializes in European market investments, founded his Greenwich, Connecticut-based hedge fund in 2000. His father was a prominent figure in the Dutch marine industry, having owned a marine equipment distributor and serving as president of the Dutch National Marine Association. Taselaar's wife, Nina Taselaar, is a licensed clinical social worker according to her LinkedIn profile. The couple's decision to sell their Palm Beach home has raised eyebrows in the industry, with many wondering who the undisclosed buyer could be. With no public record of the sale and a secretive buyer, some have speculated that the transaction may involve a high-profile celebrity or wealthy individual. While the true identity of the buyer remains a mystery, one thing is clear - Taselaar's off-market sale has sparked curiosity and intrigue among industry insiders.
