Jon Winkelried has put his Nantucket waterfront home on the market. The GS co-chief operating officer and co-president is asking for $55 million for the vacation house, set on 5.9 acres on Cathcart Road, which Winks bought in 1999 for about $6 million. Warren Buffett is not said to be interested at this time, though it’s been rumored that Winkle is thinking of converting it to a time-share, wherein Buffett would pay $5000/week for 6 week/year (throwing in a few buxom prosties as WB’s special preferred dividend) in the hopes that others would pay a million/week.

Can I swap my time share in Boca?
how many shamwows is that worth
We’re back boys! Here comes the big rally!
Unfortunately, the house next door is the exact same and on the books at $10 million, Winkelried still thinks he has the correct market price.
550,000 hundred dollar bills?
But Nantuket is far from the Jersey shore.
@4 Hilarious!
I’ll give him 9 mil, we’ll share it?
Now that their company ended the day at $89, perhaps Mr. Blankfein & Mr. Winkelried should begin thinking about what will happen to someone with names like theirs after Prince Fahood from the islamic world buys up control of GS? I imagine there are many others at GS with similar names who might also be wondering.

Too soon; slow down; don’t be too eager to lose your money. You were premature in your enthusiasm.

If you want to reinflate the real estate bubble, Nantucket’s the place to start. Maybe Carly Simon wants to upgrade.
Mr. WinkieDink must have a problem. A problem related to a lack of money or to substance abuse, but nonetheless, a problem.
The Guy from Delaware
p.s. Nantucket isn’t all that great. I was there in August. Too many clowns.’Sconset is seriously overrated. Like the Vineyard better. We can stay with friends there for free.
Bess – You aren’t as clueless as I thought you were… That was funny. (Now don’t let it go to your head.)
HE SOO GREEDY, HE SHOULDZ GIVE DAT MONEY TO PEOPLE IN BAD MORTGUGES!!!!111111111ONE
I agree, perhaps he should give that money to people in bad mortguges.
@13- you’re a douchebag. don’t let that go to your head.
Bess, go get yourself some ass bleeding this week, you deserve it honey.
9x on his money in 9 years. Hmmmm… WTF does Winkiedink think the old gray lady of the sea is, GS risk mgmt dept?
That stooge needs money. No doubt about it.
The Guy from Delaware
p.s. Maybe (hopefully) Uncle Sam is already on Winkiedink’s case, and Winkie needs to pay the creeps from Skadden Arps to defend him. Yes, Skadden is here, and too many of those fucks live in my neighborhood. Ugh! Disgusting they are.
TGFD, what is it exactly that you do? You spend an awful lot of time on DB. Just wondering is all.
ha. 6 to 55 million. the upperend market still has a long way to go. I bet he gets rid of it for 15
He needs the money for a condo he is building in China – on the good side of The Wall…
@ TGFD/etc
Wink has other houses, as well. The guy has been @ the top for years, during which GS made a fortune for shareholders, occassionally clients, too.
Stop hating bro’
See ya’ll by the NYSE
The Guy From Deleware,
Wherever you came from, crawl back under that rock. This site was fantastic before you got here. You’re a drag on the vibe here.
Tell me:
1. Do you know why the head of Blackstone has crab claws for hands when posted on this site?
2. Do you know who Brian Hunter is?
3. Could you pick Stevie Cohen out of a lineup?
You see, you’re a fucking tool who talks big, but knows DICK about real life. Go jerk off on FARK and leave DB to adults with degrees.
Anal_yst…
Thanks for the invitation to the gathering by the statue at 6, but I can’t make it bro’. In Delaware, You know.

He’s selloing off so he can move his funds overseas. They are all making preparations incase the Fascist coup backfires, then the plan is to rendezvous at the Bush/Mooney compound in Paraguay – where oddly Americans now have blanket amnesty for all “war crimes”.

The truth is way scarier than any fiction!
Dipshit@#23…
WTF do you sell, and how long have you been around DB? Never saw your handle before.
Your test is a joke…
1. Schwartzman’s claws have looked that way for years.
2. Hunter is the clown who poses with that f’n fish all the time.
3. Cohen is a fat, bloated, slob with glasses who wears a crew neck t shirt under an open-collar dress shirt.
You should get your own shit together little one.

This market is getting ridiculous:
http://upzero.com
This Goldman retard thinks homes increase in value 9X every ten years. Winkelried can’t see the forest through the trees, even as the world crumbles around him because of the burst Housing Bubble.
SlashAndBurn@#28…
I like your style, and I agree; Mr. Winkiedink is a “Goldman Retard”.
Haven’t seen you before. If you’re new, welcome to DB.

$6M to $55M in 9 years!? Did even the hot markets (CA, FL, NV) go up that much in that time?
Starting to question Bess’ journalistic integrity. Over the past few weeks, her postings have been very speculative and full of holes, taking the story where she wants it to go–wanting to incite hate and disgust. By the way, does she have something personal against MS and its employees? While I think the $55M selling price is ridiculous, isn’t it obvious that he must have done major renovations after spending $6M to purchase the property? Shouldn’t that little piece of information be part of the story? What if he spent $20 million in renovations? That’s double the price, which was the norm for the past 9 years for that area. No idea that this happened, but, certainly, that is an important piece of information. I guess I am expecting too much integrity from Bess. Hate all the sexist and rude jokes about her though. Uncalled for.

@#31 with #32 Replay…
Regarding Mr. Winkiedink’s buffoonish attempt at a 9x score, you said (twice, in fact):
“Shouldn’t that little piece of information be part of the story?”
“No idea that this happened, but, certainly, that is an important piece of information. I guess I am expecting too much integrity from Bess.”
Maybe you just woke up this morning, and maybe you haven’t had your coffee yet, but LOOK. Right there on the first line of Bess’ post is a link “on the market” that takes the reader right to a press article about the listing.
Lay off Bess. You can’t even post correctly.

Throw in Liz Claman and I’ll pay the 55$ million AND bow on my knees to Alan Greenspan
