On Cape Cod, Billionaire Bill Koch Lists Bunny Mellon's Former Home for $23.85 Million
When Kansas-born Bill Koch was a newcomer to Cape Cod in the 1970s, he was a frequent guest at the summer home of banking heir Paul Mellon and his wife, the famed gardener Rachel 'Bunny' Mellon. After bringing his hosts a couple bottles of wine, Koch would walk through the Osterville, Mass., house with Paul, admiring the couple's enviable art collection.
'He had some of the world's greatest masterpieces,' Koch, 85, recalled in an email. 'I always wanted a Van Gogh, and he knew it, and would always—with just a touch of smugness—steer me into the room where it hung.'

Live updates: Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' trial coverage
Update: Date: 13 min ago Title: What Jane said on her final day of testimony yesterday Content: 'Jane,' one of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' accusers testifying under a pseudonym, concluded her testimony yesterday after undergoing cross-examination and redirect questioning. Here's a look at what she said on her last day on the stand: 'Breaking point': Jane testified again about the physical altercation she and Combs had in 2024 over a woman she believed Combs was spending time with on a trip. 'At this point, I had just reached my breaking point in the relationship,' she said. Jane testified that after things escalated, she called the woman from Combs' phone and the two traded insults. She said Combs also FaceTimed his assistant, Jonathan, who told Jane that the other woman did not go on the trip. Confusing cycle: Jane testified that the reason she sent Combs affectionate text messages after the 2023 Turks and Caicos trip, which she had previously described as disappointing, was because of a confusing cycle in which Combs would 'shower' her with 'love and affection,' with 'sexual exploitation in between.' She said she was able to 'compartmentalize all the bad stuff' and focus on 'the good parts.' Other women: When asked why she brought up 'hotel nights' to Combs during discussions about other women in his life, Jane testified that she was trying to express, 'Why do I have to be degraded in order to be with you?' Becoming emotional, she added that she was trying to say, 'Why do I have to break all my boundaries and compromise on myself … but they can still experience you in the way I want to?' Rent threats: Jane testified that she began telling Combs she didn't want to participate in 'hotel nights' in 2021 but became more vocal about it in 2023. She said that by 2023, Combs had been paying her rent for several months and would often mention her rent in connection with 'hotel nights.' Jane added that Combs threatened to stop paying her rent 'in all different types of ways.'
