HOWARD STERN IS ONE OF THE RICHEST MEN IN NEW YORK

Rich New Yorkers who summer in Southampton are aghast because Howard Stern set a new record by renting a summer home for $800,000 for three months. Howard leased an ultra modern sprawling 6000 square foot mansion with a helipad nearby. It's believed to be the highest price ever paid for a summer rental there. "Howard raised the bar" commented a realtor who predicts rental prices will soar. Up until now, the highest documented price paid was believed to be $500,000 for the summer. Howard and his fiancee Beth Ostrosky plan to spend as much time there as possible, and Howard's buddies are already angling for invites.
