Several boat operators offer fascinating gawking tours of mansions along the Intercoastal Waterway and the New River. The exorbitantly-priced estates are nicknamed Millionaires’ Row. An example is Tarpon Pointe. This 20,653 square foot residence was owned by Wayne Huizenga. The entrepreneur became a billionaire by starting Waste Management and AutoNation. He also co-owned Blockbuster Video plus the Miami Dolphins, Florida Panthers and the Marlins. Other rich and famous names who owned exclusive waterfront properties include Hollywood stars (Nick Nolte, Burt Reynolds, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Lucille Ball), recording artists (Sonny & Cher), businesspeople (Anheuser-Busch family, Ray Kroc the founder of McDonald’s) and gangsters (Bugsy Siegel, Al Capone).
