Billionaire Dan Snyder’s former Washington DC-area mansion just got a massive price trim — but it’s all for a good cause.
The sprawling Fren༺ch Chateau-style estate in Potomac, Maryland, has had $5 million lopped off its last asking price, now down to $29.9 million. It was initially listed for a whopping $49 million.
Snyder, the former Washington Commanders boss, handed over the 25,000-square-foot palace to the American Cancer Society earlier t𒀰🌼his year, but the market had other plans, according to
“As the market changes, we continuously adapt to meet its demands,” Compass realtor Cara Pearlman told Mansion Global. Pearlman, along with colleague Han Peruzzi, is tryiᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚng to move the lavish property.
“Our priority is to maximize the financial support provided to the American Cancer Society, empowering them to continue their groundbreaking work. We are fully committed to doing everything necessa🀅ry to support this vital cause.”
Snyder, 59, shelled out $8.🦋64 million for part of the estate back in 2001 from the royal estate of Jordan’s King Hussein and Queen Noor.
Since then, he grew the prop🌠erty into a massive 13.5-acre compound, which now boasts the megamansion built in🌸 2004.
Snyder’s connection to the cause runs deep — his wife, Tanya, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 20ౠ08 and even became the face of the NFL’s “Crucial Ca♏tch” campaign while they still owned the Commanders.
After selling the team in 2023 for a record $6.05 billion, Snyder’s focus has clearly shifted to philanthropy.
The American Cancer Society has big plans for the proceeds from the sale. In a st😼atement, they said the funds will go toward cancer research and patient support, impacting 20,000 communities nationwide.
