Tampa Bay Lightning Owner Jeff Vinik Sells His MA Fun House:
If there’s one person who’s really enjoying his personal fortune, it’s Jeff Vinik. And if there’s another person who’s having just as much fun, it’s the unidentified buyer who just bought Vinik’s home in Weston, MA . Vinik, the owner of the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning, put his 19,306-square-foot manse up for sale in October 2013 for $17 million. About a year and a half later, Vinik has found a buyer at a reduced price of $10.3 million. Kathryn Richlen and Paige Yates of Coldwell Banker represented Vinik in the home’s sale. We covered Vinik’s mansion when it first hit the market, and we noted the playful nature of the house.
