Harvey Weinstein’s property portfolio was dismantled in a matter of months. Between late 2017 and the spring of 2018, as the allegations against him became public and his company collapsed, he sold a Connecticut waterfront compound, a Hamptons estate and a Manhattan townhouse. Reported totals for that run of sales vary between roughly $45.6 million and $51.6 million depending on which properties and dates are counted.
He owns none of them now, and he has been in custody since 2020.
This guide sets out each property, what he paid and what he received, what has happened to the buildings since, and why the answer to where he lives is a matter of court record rather than property record.
The properties and what they fetched
| Property | Location | Bought | Sold |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two adjoining waterfront properties, main house about 9,000 sq ft | Westport, Connecticut | $4.2 million in 1994 and $4 million in 2000 | $16 million, February 2018 |
| Four-storey townhouse, about 5,000 sq ft | West Village, Manhattan | $14.95 million in 2006 | $25.6 million, March 2018 |
| Compound of about 9,000 sq ft | Amagansett, the Hamptons, New York | $11.65 million in 2014 | $10 million, at a loss |
| Four-bedroom house | Westport, Connecticut | $825,000 in 1995 | $1.65 million |
Who is Harvey Weinstein?
Harvey Weinstein is an American former film producer who co-founded Miramax and later The Weinstein Company, and who was for two decades one of the most powerful figures in the American film industry. Reporting published in October 2017 detailing allegations of sexual abuse against him ended his career and became a catalyst for the wider Me Too movement.
He has been incarcerated since 2020. His original New York conviction was overturned on appeal in 2024 and he was retried in 2025, when a jury convicted him on one count. A separate conviction in California in 2022 was upheld on appeal in 2026, with a resentencing ordered. He remains in custody in New York.
The Weinstein Company filed for bankruptcy in 2018 and its assets were sold to Lantern Capital for $289 million, a transaction that wiped out his equity. A liquidation plan was approved in January 2021. The property sales described below happened alongside that collapse.
The Westport waterfront compound
Weinstein assembled a waterfront holding in Westport, Connecticut over six years, buying one property in 1994 for $4.2 million and the adjoining one in 2000 for $4 million. The main residence ran about 9,000 square feet.
He sold the pair in February 2018 for $16 million, in an off-market deal to a neighbouring couple, the graphic designer Andrew Bentley and the art historian Fiona Garland. Against a combined $8.2 million paid across the 1990s and 2000s, that is a straightforward gain, though one spread over more than two decades.
What happened next is unusual. The new owners demolished the house. The cleared land was later offered at $21 million, and a single-family home has since been proposed for the site. The building most associated with him in Connecticut no longer exists.
He also sold a much smaller Westport house, bought in 1995 for $825,000, for $1.65 million.
The Manhattan townhouse
His West Village townhouse, four storeys and around 5,000 square feet, was bought in 2006 for $14.95 million and sold in March 2018 for $25.6 million. That is the largest single transaction in the group and the one that produced the clearest profit, roughly $10.6 million before costs across twelve years.
As in Westport, the new owners did not preserve it. Reporting after the sale described the townhouse being gutted by its buyers. Manhattan townhouses at that price are routinely reconfigured by incoming owners, but in this case the association with the seller was widely noted as part of the motivation.
The Hamptons estate, sold at a loss
The Amagansett compound is the exception in the portfolio. Weinstein bought it in 2014 for $11.65 million, near the top of the market, and sold it for $10 million to Taisho Holdings LLC, connected to a Japanese pharmaceutical business.
That is a loss of about $1.65 million before costs, over roughly four years. Short holds sold under time pressure rarely go well, and this one was sold in circumstances that gave him little negotiating position. The eastern end of Long Island has absorbed a number of high-profile sales in that price range, including the estate documented in the account of Richard Gere’s Hamptons property, and it is a market where an unmotivated buyer can wait.
Why the totals differ between sources
You will see the combined figure reported as $45.6 million in some places and $51.6 million in others. Neither is wrong; they count different things.
The lower figure generally covers the three headline sales completed between November 2017 and March 2018. The higher one includes additional smaller properties and transactions completed slightly later. Where a total is quoted without a list of which properties it covers, it is not a number worth relying on.
Where does Harvey Weinstein live now?
In custody in New York.
He has been incarcerated since 2020, initially in the New York state prison system, later transferred to Los Angeles for proceedings in California, and subsequently returned to New York, where he has been held in connection with his retrial and sentencing. His lawyers have publicly disclosed that he has been treated for serious illness during that period.
He does not own residential property. Every home documented above was sold before his first conviction, and the proceeds went into legal costs, settlements and the wider wreckage of his companies. There is no reporting of any property purchase by him after 2018.
This is one of the few subjects on this site where the question of a current residence has a definitive answer that has nothing to do with real estate. The trajectory from a multi-property portfolio to state custody has a close parallel in the account of Caroline Ellison’s penthouse and prison sentence.
