$12.4 Million Home Perched Above the Ocean Hits the Market in Martha's Vineyard
The summer season is starting to heat up, but that doesn't mean it's too late for you to snap up your own beachside retreat.
A low-key Martha's Vineyard estate with horizon views over the Atlantic has just hit the market for $12.4 million. Designed by the architect Mark Hutker and built by J.G. Early in 2017, the eight-bedroom, nine-bath Colonial-style respite sits on a high bluff at the end of a private road. The seller, Paul Massey, once ran for mayor of New York City against Bill de Blasio before dropping out prior to the election. Moira Lown and Melissa Dailey at Coldwell Banker Realty hold the listing.

After the property was acquired by Massey from longtime owners, he rebuilt the home while retaining some of the original elements, like the farmhouse sink in the baby-blue kitchen, and dubbed it Big Bluff. The great room's open layout also includes a breakfast nook with a small built-in banquette and a living room anchored by a river-rock fireplace. A wet bar to the side makes for easy entertaining, with gatherings spilling from the living room into the attached screened-in porch.
A similar fireplace warms the primary bedroom, which also has a serene bathroom where separate vanities line the walls and a soaking tub is slightly elevated to take advantage of the ocean views. A private balcony and an outdoor shower complete the suite. There are seven other bedrooms that provide ample space for family or guests. The lower level is set up with a gym and a game room, while Adirondack chairs on the porches look out over a plush lawn and the ocean. There's no pool, but the members-only East Chop Beach Club is just down the street.
Martha's Vineyard has long been a favored summertime getaway popular with entertainment industry types, including Larry David, Spike Lee, Carly Simon, and Don Cheadle. A couple of years back, the journalist Diane Sawyer sold her 20-acre compound for a smidge under $24 million, and just last month, a 30-acre estate that formerly hosted Barack and Michelle Obama hit the market for $39 million. The home's owner, acclaimed British architect Norman Foster, bought the place in 2011 for $22.4 million and subsequently renovated it to stand out among the island's more traditional beach houses.Best of Robb Report

Can Americans Even Afford To Buy American-Made Cars?
The latest car news, reviews, and features. This morning, a new survey proclaimed that 55% of 'in-market car shoppers' would be willing to pay more for a car if it created American jobs. If new taxes keep discouraging imported vehicles and materials from our market, we're not going to have a choice. Vehicles assembled in American factories carry the highest average price—$53,000—compared to the overall average of about $50,000. new 'American-Made Index,' a big info-dump on the state of our auto industry and its relationship to the global car economy, is the source of these little revelations. Some of the 2025 AMI stats are consistent with what we've seen the last few years: Tesla and Honda do the most car-making in America, while the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado are not even in the top 20 'most American.' The Jeep Gladiator, built in Toledo, is the only pickup truck that really syncs with its rah-rah-'murica marketing. At least, from a manufacturing standpoint. Meanwhile, Korean companies seem to be trending toward American assembly most expediously; the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and Kia EV9 are now all made in Georgia. The EV6 has a remarkably high American parts content of 80%. But the difference in average pricing by nation of origin is what caught my attention this year. The takeaway is: Inexpensive cars are dying, and taxes are speeding their demise. These two slides from the AMI presentation lay the situation out (scroll between them with the little arrows on the sides of the slide): The bottom line is that cars made in America are, generally speaking, more expensive. There are not that many new vehicles with an MSRP under $30,000 these days, but of the ones that are, 91% are manufactured abroad and exposed to the pressures of tariffs. More specifically, out of 19 U.S. market cars listed under $35,000, only two are made in America. The data above tells us that de-globalizing the automobile industry will increase consumer costs. But the scariest part is, nobody really knows what the long-term logistical environment for cars will look like. And that's a tough problem to face when every company in an industry is international.

Elon Musk's xAI is reportedly seeking a $4.3B equity raise
In Brief Elon Musk's startup xAI is trying to raise a $4.3 billion equity investment, according to a report from Bloomberg. This equity funding would be in addition to the $5 billion that Musk is allegedly trying to raise in debt funding for the combined entity of X and xAI. The company appears to be raising money again after landing a $6 billion cash infusion in December, because it has already spent much of its money. xAI makes Grok, the AI chatbot that's embedded inside the social network X, as well as the image generator Aurora. The technology that powers these products is notoriously resource-intensive, which could be contributing to the rate at which the company is spending money.

Cathie Wood's 50% ARKK Rebound Hits a Big Wall of Skepticism
Cathie Wood's flagship ETF has staged a powerful comeback from the depths of the trade war panic, rallying more than 50% since early April. But rather than restoring investor faith, the rebound has only been met with skepticism. Outflows are persistent. Short sellers are circling in record numbers, driven by bearish conviction and tactical hedging. And a booming class of retail-friendly products — leveraged exchange-traded funds — are competing with Wood's strategy of making high-conviction bets on famous tech names.
