Movers & Shakers
Sandra Sells Who's buying, who's selling in the world of high-end real estate: Apple CEO Wants Out Of Big Apple
Jobs has much more space to work with in his Palo Alto, Calif., home: He was so concerned about privacy that he bought the property next door (he reportedly got a great deal on the house, paying a paltry $1 million in 1997). After Jobs bought the historical neighboring home, he upset locals with plans to demolish it to build an apricot orchard. Palo Altans were none too pleased. Steve Jobs zoomed into Manhattan this week for the Macworld Expo, where he discussed some "exciting" new features for the Macintosh operating system, Mac OS X. Sandra Bullock On The Move
Bullock, who turns 38 at the end of the month, has been spotted in and around Manhattan recently shooting the romantic comedy Two Weeks' Notice with British import Hugh Grant. Although Bullock has shown a preference for romantic chick flicks, she bucked the trend with her most recent film, Murder by Numbers, in which she starred as detective Cassie Mayweather, investigating a local murder. Bullock was also the executive producer of the movie, but that didn't stop critics from panning America's favorite girl next door. Village Voice critic Dennis Lim called Bullock the film's "worst enemy." McMahon's McMansion
Vince McMahon is ranked by Forbes as the 364th richest American, with a fortune estimated at $700 million. Not all his media plans have been successful, though. His now-defunct Xtreme Football League, which launched in 2000 and lasted only one season, ranks as the third worst television program of all time, as rated by TV Guide. But McMahon has a couple of victories to celebrate. The WWE recently reported an upswing in quarterly revenue and settled its lawsuit with the Parents Television Council, which revolved around statements the PTC made linking several children's deaths to WWE SmackDown!. WWE will receive $3.5 million and a nicely worded apology from the PTC. Real estate news can be submitted to Betsy Schiffman at bschiffman@forbes.net or by calling her at (212) 366-8937.
