In days gone by, people became wealthy by building companies and creating jobs. No more.
I mean, owning a factory is so gauche.
Now the richest among us are life coaches, entertainers and pundits. I think everyone is seeking something and these mouthpieces bring life to peoples feelings. Consider:
Rush Limbaugh, $ 58 million last year
Sean Hannity, $ 22 million last year
Glenn Beck, $ 38 million last year
Last night, Glenn Beck held an event at the local theater where you could pay $20 to sit in the theater and listed to him speaking live from somewhere up north. Last year, he arrived at Books a Million amid flashing blue lights and a mob scene to sign his latest book. The cops closed the store to regular shoppers except those trapped inside when the meelee started.
Today, we find out Mike Huckabee will be following suit. He will be signing books there next week. Its interesting that with electronic readers like the Kindle and iPad becoming so popular, people still want to buy a book and get it signed.
But, whether Beck is "Broke" or Huckabee is hawking books, Jupiter is a great place to live.

Rickie Fowler lands on the river
In a place like Jupiter, its not unusual to see celebrities around. My dry cleaners has a signed picture of Joe Namath hanging in the lobby since he lives right down the street in Tequesta. And I've stood behind him in line at Burger King.
2 weeks ago, I ran into John Maxwell, the famous leadership guru and his son. A couple of years ago at the Palm Beach Boat Show, I saw Ian Baker-Finch and then was walking behind Jasper Parnevik on the docks. Celine Dion was giving birth at St. Mary's Hospital at the same time I was visiting my mom there.
When I posted a picture of Tiger Woods new compound on Jupiter Island, this blog got thousands of visits. I think the interest level went up when Elin beat out the windows of his car. She is now looking at condo penthouses on Jupiter Island.
I used to see Jackie Nicklaus around frequently and last week I ran into Gary Nicklaus at The Bear's Club where they were holding a Member/Member Golf Tournament meeting. All the Nicklaus boys look just like Jack.
I was swimming near the Jupiter Lighthouse one day when Greg Norman's yacht "Aussie Rules" came back in from fishing. And, I used to run into Olivia Newton-John's husband all the time.
Maybe the most fun was being next door to Lee Trevino as he worked on his golf clubs in his garage and chatted "off the record" with his caddie about the inner workings of the PGA Tour. I listened as he and Herman talked golf and people and events.
So it is no surprise to find the Rickie Fowler is moving to the area. He will join other PGA players here like Norman, Nick Price, Steve Marino and of course, Tiger.
Rickie bought this house on the Loxahatchee River in north Jupiter. I had lunch with the listing agent yesterday. Earlier in the morning, I was talking to the agent who sold his personal house to Steve Marino, also right on the river.
The Loxahatchee River has some of the greatest waterfront locations around. And you have direct ocean access through the Jupiter Inlet.

Blizzard due at the beach on Sunday
20 tons of snow is due this weekend...at the beach!
John D. MacArthur State Park in Palm Beach Gardens will be hosting "Blizzard at the Beach" on Sunday from 11 to 4.
There will be plenty of refreshments, Santa posing for photos on the beach, bounce houses, kayaking and entertainment. I guess Santa will be hanging around our area a lot this weekend since he will be arriving by boat in the Holiday Boat Parade.
Proceeds from the Blizzard will benefit The Friends of MacArthur Beach Park's Natural Science Education Fund. The Park has a new educational facility and they told me they expect the next 5 years to be big ones for the Park.
Bringing snow to a snow-free area is an interesting comment. After all, we don't truck 20 tons of beach sand and heat lamps up north in January.
Neverthless, this is a great place to live. You can see all homes for sale in Palm Beach Gardens at Coastal Florida Real Estate Florida Real Estate. Unlike many agents I have lived here 22 years and can show you the best values and locations. 561-762-4073.

What do the big boys know? Have we turned a corner?
Is the Palm Beach real estate market showing signs of a rebound? Low interest rates or maybe currency valuations?
A long time builder in the area, Divosta, broke ground to complete phase II of Mallory Creek, a 2200 acre single family home development in Abacoa. PS: They need to plant some trees first. Compared to the rest of Abacoa, Mallory Creek looks like a wasteland.
In May, Toll Brothers snapped up 77 acres of prime Intracoastal land in Juno Beach from bankrupt WCI Communities for $20M, and are now building a new waterfront community called Frenchman’s Harbor.
WCI obtained site plan approval for 48 single family homes and 30 condos all with 50 foot boat slips. I heard the permits were set to expire and they needed to break ground. Toll Brothers also bought the land on the north side of Indiantown Road where Jupiter Country Club is located from WCI.
New Urban Communities had several commercial parcels sitting idle for years in the Greenwich subdivision also in Abacoa. See Mallory Creek above.
Earlier this year, Kolter acquired a distressed oceanfront property in Gulfstream and unveiled plans for 4001 Ocean, a 34 unit tower. They have however abandoned construction of a new complex on a choice piece of land in North Palm Beach, at least for the time.
Maybe the big boys know something...
Buyer and sellers, are you listening?
