$8.7 million, Massachusetts Avenue Heights
Once owned by heiress Gladys Vanderbilt, this 27-room Georgian mansion in DC was built in 1918. In 1985, developer Robert Kogod and his wife, Arlene, bought it for just over $2 million.
Kogod made his money at the local real-estate firm Charles E. Smith, where he spearheaded the development of Crystal City. He and his wife have been generous philanthropists, as evidenced by several structures around town that bear their name: the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Kogod Courtyard, American University’s Kogod School of Business, and Arena Stage’s Kogod Cradle.
