Conrad Black's Palm Beach Mansion For Sale (PHOTOS)

Huffington Post   Danny Shea   First Posted: 05/26/10 06:12 AM ET   Updated: 05/25/11 05:00 PM ET

Newspaper magnate Conrad Black is in jail, serving a 6.5-year sentence on charges of fraud and obstruction of justice related to a scheme in which he swindled his company, Hollinger International, out of millions. While he serves his time, his privileged former life is unraveling. In February, his Palm Beach mansion -- which was listed in 2004 at $36 million -- was transfered to a Connecticut investment firm. The house is now on the market for an unlisted price.

The S. Ocean Boulevard home, a "splendid British Colonial estate" is situated on over 3 acres, with both ocean and intracoastal waterfront. It has 5 bedrooms, 6 baths, a guest house, movie theater, exercise room, tennis court, and 3-car-garage. See photos of The House That Fraud Built below:

Something of interest. Before being marrying Conrad Black , journalist Barbara Amiel was married to George Jonas. Jonas wrote the book Vengenace: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist team. Speilberg used that book as the basis for his film, Munich.

She was also a liberal journalist who turned rabidly conservative.

I still don't understand how these White-collar criminals go to jail for like 6 years stealing people's livelihoods and looting corporations putting scores of people out of work when a black guys, latinos, and poor whites can go to jail for life for stealing televisions and dealing dope to base heads who want to get high.

Not an interior that I'd prefer. I don't think I could go for a colonial-era anything no matter how much the property was worth. I like modern decor. So, I'll have to pass on this 36 million dollar estate. Not that I had the money anyway.

I wonder if Rush Limbaugh's estate will be auctioned when he's convicted of fraud too.

I'll take the painting of the ship behind door #11. Can you imagine living in a place like that? I'd need a map to find the bathroom.

I was ready to make a bid, until I saw the brown checkered chair and ottoman.

Not to my taste. The deal is off.

Are we sure this guy actually exists? LOL. I mean 'Conrad Black' sounds like the name of a James Bond villain. With a name like that he should've known he'd never get away with his crimes.

He exists--he's a Canadian who bought the title of "Lord." He is a pretty good writer and historian. Perhaps he should have stuck with that.

These people think they can buy class and good taste. It's evident that they can't.

This blaggart paid for this palatial estate with money stolen from the Chicago Sun-Times which it had earned from the owners of south side Chicago bungalows.

He doesn't need it, he's in the big house now.
