AUGUSTUS MAYHEW

New Jersey rock star Bruce Springsteen, through his Los Angeles attorney Nancy G. Chapman, has sold one of his two Equestrian Club Estates houses in Wellington for $2.95 million, according to the warranty deed filed late Thursday afternoon.

The buyers, Daniel M. and Ellen Podell Crown, live in New York and Connecticut.

Daniel Crown’s family is listed as No. 208 on the 2010 Forbes 400 list, with an estimated worth of $4.1 billion. Daniel Crown’s father, Lester Crown, heads the Henry Crown & Co. investment firm.

The property was listed for $3.95 million, according to several sources.

In June 2008, Springsteen bought 3561 Ambassador Road for $3.1 million; the following September, Springsteen’s Stone Hill Trust closed on an adjacent improved parcel, 3581 Ambassador Road, for $4.6 million, purchasing it from William Farish Jr. and Kelly Farish, according to Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s Office records.

Springsteen's horse farm in New Jersey also is owned through his Stone Hill Trust, according to previously published reports.

Springsteen and his wife, Patti Scialfa, are the parents of Jessica Springsteen, who competes in the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington.
