Designer Tommy Hilfiger and his model-turned-financier wife Dee Ocleppo have made a whopping $19million profit by selling their Aspen mansion for $50million just three months after buying it as a ‘legacy property’ for their family.
The 7,150-square-foot property boasts seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms and numerous rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows to contemplate Aspen’s breathtaking sunsets and sunrises.
Among other amenities are an elevator to get from one floor in the sprawling property to the other, a spa equipped with a hot tub and steam shower, and a lovely patio and deck.
Hilfiger, 71, and Ocleppo, 55, didn’t initially intend to sell the slopeside property located on the Little Nell ski trail on Aspen Mountain. They had just bought it in December for $30.9million, The Wall Street Journal reported.
But the buyer’s irresistible $50million-offer convinced them to say goodbye to what they once thought would be a forever home.
‘I guess everything has a price, and with a limited inventory you’ve got to get creative,’ Steven Shane of real-estate brokerage Compass, which represented both the Hilfigers and the buyer, told Aspen Times .

‘So I asked Tommy and Dee if they would consider selling it, and they said it would have to be a very attractive price.’
According to Aspen Times, the city had 59.6percent less inventory of single-family homes for sale in February than during the same period last year.
‘I spoke with the buyer’s team and said we can pry this away from the existing homeowner, but it’s going to take a significant price for them to consider it. And after a couple of conversations back and forth, we agreed to a price,’ Shane added. Guests can enjoy the beautiful scenery from anywhere in the house The floor-to-ceiling windows to contemplate Aspen’s breathtaking sunsets and sunrises The brick, frame, and stone property was purchased by the Hilfigers in December.
Before that, the Poss-designed ski property was ‘owned by the same family since the 1950s,’ with three generations of many kids having enjoyed the ‘ski-out-the-door, drop-in-to-town,’ according to the listing .
Hidden between pine trees and just above the base of Aspen Mountain, the lavish property allows owners and guests to appreciate all things outdoors.
An option for the warmer months is a barbecue gathering in the brick-styled patio.
Those who spend the winter in the property can enjoy hot cocoa from the deck’s jacuzzi while appreciating the snow-covered Aspen mountains.
