The estate of the late coal billionaire Christopher Cline sold one of his oceanfront North Palm Beach mansions for $25.6 million.
Records show Cline’s estate sold the mansion at 12510 Seminole Beach Road as well as a separate lot that contains a long driveway to Seminole Beach LLC, a Delaware company.
Leslie Ray and Timothy Elliot acted as co-representatives of Cline’s estate.
Cline, who was originally from West Virginia, was the owner of St. Louis-headquartered Foresight Energy, a producer of coal energy. According to Forbes, he sold a controlling stake in the company for $1.4 billion in 2015.
Cline died in a helicopter crash off the coast of his private island in the Bahamas in 2019.

At the same time, Circa Sports is daring

It is no secret that Kentucky Derby favorites this time of year tend not to win on the big day. It does not bode well for Life Is Good that 40 of the last 41 top choices on New Year’s Day failed on the first Saturday in May or September.
At this time last year, Authentic was 16-1 at William Hill Nevada. That was a big drop from the 65-1 at which he closed in the first pool of the Churchill Downs pari-mutuel Kentucky Derby Future Wager. A win in the Sham last January changed everything. And then it changed all over again with the pandemic. Using that history now should come with a warning label.
