The luxury real estate market in Palm Beach continues to soar, with one of its most prominent residents—Isaac “Ike” Perlmutter, the retired CEO of Marvel Entertainment and a devoted supporter of Israel—now listing his oceanfront mansion for $24.95 million. According to a report on Friday at The New York Post’s Page Six, the lavish property, located just five minutes from Mar-a-Lago, marks a striking $6 million jump from its previous asking price of $18.95 million only seven months ago.

The residence, part of the exclusive gated enclave known as The Residences at Sloans Curve, occupies a prime stretch of the Palm Beach shoreline. Built in 1981 and recently redesigned with a refreshed interior, the 6,300-square-foot townhouse features five bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, and expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean.

The seller, Isaac Perlmutter, and his wife Laura, are among Palm Beach’s most recognizable figures—known not only for their immense business success but also for their philanthropic support of Israel, the Jewish people, and numerous civic causes. The Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Foundation, a major charitable vehicle for the couple, has contributed tens of millions of dollars to medical research, veterans’ programs, and Israeli institutions over the past two decades.

Born in Mandatory Palestine, Isaac Perlmutter is a veteran of Israel’s 1967 Six-Day War, in which he served with distinction as part of the Israel Defense Forces. His deep connection to the Jewish homeland has shaped both his personal convictions and his philanthropic legacy.

Throughout his career, Perlmutter has quietly provided substantial support to Israeli hospitals, defense initiatives, and educational institutions, including gifts to Tel Aviv University and partnerships benefitting IDF veterans. His reputation as a steadfast Zionist has earned him respect across both American and Israeli philanthropic circles.

As reported by Page Six, Perlmutter’s life story mirrors the tenacity of the superheroes he helped bring to global prominence through Marvel Entertainment. A self-made billionaire, he built his fortune after immigrating to the United States with modest means, later purchasing Marvel in 1998 when the company was struggling financially. Under his leadership, Marvel experienced a spectacular revival, launching blockbuster franchises such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Daredevil, and laying the foundation for what would become the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Perlmutter and his wife purchased the Sloans Curve residence for $10 million in April 2023, according to the report on Page Six. Eight months later, they listed the property for $21 million before removing it from the market. The home’s current $24.95 million price tag reflects the skyrocketing demand for Palm Beach luxury properties, especially following the recent mayoral election in New York City, which has spurred a wave of high-net-worth relocations to Florida.

“Palm Beach is experiencing the kind of momentum and energy this November that we have not seen since the COVID pandemic transformed our skyline and turbocharged our economy,” said Margit Brandt of Premier Estate Properties, the listing broker. “The exodus of high-earners from New York to South Florida right now is both an overnight phenomenon and a slow burn involving full family relocations,” Brandt told Page Six.

The residence at 2 Sloans Curve Drive epitomizes coastal sophistication. Within its 6,300 square feet, the design emphasizes seamless indoor-outdoor living, with ocean views visible from nearly every main room. The formal living room is anchored by a skylight and bar area with custom-built cabinetry, while the double-height eat-in kitchen—designed for entertaining—features premium appliances and a breakfast area overlooking the ocean.

A spiral staircase leads to the upper level, where the primary bedroom suite offers two spa-style bathrooms, a dressing area, and a covered terrace with panoramic views of the Atlantic. The townhouse also includes two additional guest suites, a study, and a family lounge.

Residents of the gated community enjoy private beach access, tennis courts, a fitness center, a yoga studio, and a conference room—all within minutes of Worth Avenue, Palm Beach’s most glamorous shopping district.

Beyond his business success, Page Six noted that Isaac and Laura Perlmutter have long stood out for their philanthropic commitment to both the United States and Israel. The couple’s foundation has funded medical and research institutions such as New York University’s Langone Health, where the Perlmutter Cancer Center now bears their name following a landmark $50 million donation.

Their giving has also extended to veterans’ affairs, a passion that led to Perlmutter’s unofficial role advising President Donald Trump’s Department of Veterans Affairs during his first term. Perlmutter helped shape veterans’ healthcare initiatives and provided private philanthropic backing for events supporting U.S. service members.

Politically, the Perlmutters have also been active donors. As detailed by Page Six, Laura Perlmutter donated $2 million to a super PAC supporting Senator Marco Rubio’s 2016 presidential campaign, while both Isaac and Laura have made significant contributions to Donald Trump’s presidential bids over the years. In total, they have donated more than $1.9 million to Trump’s 2020 campaign and an additional $10 million to the Right for America super PAC, led by Sergio Gor, in support of the Trump 2024 campaign.

In a 2016 statement, Trump publicly praised Perlmutter for pledging $1 million to a veterans’ charity fundraiser during his campaign. “Isaac has been an incredible supporter of our veterans and an extraordinary man,” Trump said at the time.

The couple also contributed to Trump’s inaugural committee and privately funded renovations to the White House ballroom through their charitable foundation.

Perlmutter, a longtime member of Mar-a-Lago, has been part of Palm Beach’s upper echelon for years, often described as a discreet presence among the club’s regulars. As reported by The New York Post’s Page Six, his decision to re-list the Sloans Curve property coincides with a surge in luxury home sales across Palm Beach County, fueled by out-of-state buyers seeking both privacy and tax benefits.

Perlmutter’s property sits just a short drive from Mar-a-Lago’s gated entrance, offering convenience for the billionaire’s active social calendar and philanthropic engagements. Real estate insiders told Page Six that the property’s soaring value reflects not only its architectural appeal but also its location in one of the most secure and sought-after coastal communities in Florida.

Perlmutter’s career arc—from Israeli soldier to corporate magnate and benefactor—mirrors the resilience and self-determination that have long defined the Zionist spirit he so deeply embodies. Even after stepping down as CEO of Marvel, Perlmutter has continued to leverage his influence and resources in support of causes that align with his values—chief among them the prosperity and security of Israel.

His contributions have reached across sectors, from healthcare innovation to cultural preservation, often with a focus on projects that bridge the American and Israeli communities. His steadfast dedication to Israel’s future remains one of the defining hallmarks of his philanthropy.

According to Page Six, Palm Beach’s luxury housing market continues to set new records, with multimillion-dollar properties being snapped up by buyers relocating from high-tax states such as New York and California. Analysts attribute much of this influx to political and economic shifts following recent municipal elections in New York, which have prompted several prominent business leaders to relocate their assets—and their families—to Florida.

“There is a new level of urgency among New Yorkers looking to secure homes in Florida before the next tax year,” said one property analyst quoted by Page Six. “Palm Beach, in particular, offers the combination of privacy, security, and community that ultra-high-net-worth individuals seek.”

Given the Perlmutters’ reputation, business acumen, and philanthropic legacy, their listing is expected to draw considerable interest from both domestic and international buyers.

For Isaac and Laura Perlmutter, the sale of their Palm Beach property represents yet another transition in a life characterized by entrepreneurial success, public service, and a profound commitment to Jewish and Zionist causes. Their journey—from the battlegrounds of the Six-Day War to the boardrooms of Marvel and the philanthropic corridors of Palm Beach—illustrates a uniquely American and distinctly Israeli story of vision, perseverance, and generosity.

As The New York Post’s Page Six reported, the Perlmutters’ Palm Beach home is more than just a luxury listing; it stands as a symbol of a lifetime spent building, giving, and believing—in business, in community, and in Israel itself.
