About four years ago, Reebok founder Paul Fireman listed his palatial Boston-area mansion for $90 million. Fireman had the property—which is titled Woodland Manor—custom built in the late 1990s on a lot he purchased for about $2 million. It was completed in 2000.

The singular property proved hard to move at 90 mil, though. A price cut in 2019 brought the ask down to a more reasonable $38 million. When the house finally closed this month, the sale registered at $23 million.

The limestone leviathan measures 26,623 sq. ft.; of its 24 rooms, eight are bedrooms. Interior details include crown moldings, wood paneling, coffered ceilings, and carved natural stone fireplaces. The living style can best be described as opulent, the trophy of a man who transformed a little British sport-shoe concern into a global lifestyle brand.

The grounds extend to over seven and one-half acres. The property is located in Chestnut Hill, and the landscape is predictably sylvan, a rich and complex tapestry of forest, lawns, and East Coast blue-blood landscaping that borders the property line of The Country Club, the prototypical club of its kind in this country.

Fireman’s net worth is north of $1 billion.
