Rumors come and go with the latest speculation on the luxurious island's residents. So that begs the question of who lives on Star Island exactly? The list begins with the legendary Gloria Estevan living on 1 Star Island, which is currently listed on the market for $40,000,000. Even if the house is sold, the Estevan's still plan on living on the island at another one of the residences that they own at 39 Star Island Miami, which is a beautiful 2-acre estate. The Estevan's originally purchased the home in 1993 for just under $2,000,000, and they are expecting a very nice return on their investment. It certainly pays, in the long run, to live on the most expensive island in Florida.

7 Star Island is owned by Stewart Miller the CEO of the powerhouse development company Lennar. The mansion has ten bedrooms and 11 baths and is approximately 10,000 square feet with beautifully maintained landscaping on the property. Since Stewart is a home builder, this property is no doubt an example of what a billionaire's home should look and feel like. Recently there has been quite a bit of news surrounding Miller and his plans for further development within the community, and he seems to be quite well capitalized to do so. In 2015, Miller was paid compensation totaling $17.9 million for his position with Lennar. Miller is looking to combine three lots within the community to form one mega-compound like nothing seen before among residents.

The new property would encompass nearly three acres and the city of Miami Beach is currently reviewing his proposal for variances in lot size and home size. With a property over 120,000 square feet, it will certainly be an eye-catcher. He has proposed a two-story mansion that would include subterranean parking for over 30 spaces, berthing for a super yacht, a magnificent lagoon, and waterfall, along with other essentials like a motor court to display classic, rare vehicles. There would be multiple guest houses on the property along with an art gallery multiple kitchens around the 70,000 square foot mansion. Could this be the Miami Star Island Beach FL home that ultimately breaks the $100,000,000 threshold? One could assume it could if approved.

5 Star Island is owned by the South Beach legend Thomas Kramer, who over the years has been known for his decadent parties. He is the one the virtually singlehandedly gave Star Island Miami the reputation of prestige. To get into one of Thomas Kramer's parties was no small feat back in the 90s, and it still is today. We had the pleasure of attending one a few years ago, and the level of beautiful (both from models and interior and exterior design) was amazing. With 13 bedrooms and 12 baths the property is fit for a king. And for Thomas Kramer, Star Island certainly fits into the role quite well as a palatial neighborhood to call home. The mansion is available for rent for a mere $150,000 per month, and this price has not kept many renters out of the market.
