Casino pioneer and disgraced Wynn Las Vegas chair Steve Wynn is still worth $3.4 billion, according to Forbes. Yet even he is going halfsies on the first home purchase to crack $100 million in Aspen, Colo.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Wynn has partnered with online stock trading entrepreneur and fellow billionaire Thomas Peterffy on the $110 million abode.

It isn’t clear why the two have gone into business together on a home. However, both are reportedly friends who owned homes not far from each other in Palm Beach. (Cue the theme from the “Odd Couple.”)

The lucky seller is Patrick Dovigi, a former Canadian pro hockey goalie who paid $72.5 million for the property in 2021.

Built in 2006, the estate encompasses 22K square feet of living space on 4.5 acres at the base of Aspen’s Red Mountain. Between the main residence and a guesthouse, it has 11 bedrooms. a heated outdoor pool, and a garage.

Wynn, 82, still owns a penthouse apartment in Manhattan, which he listed in 2022 for $90 million before taking it off the market. He’s also trying to sell a Beverly Hills mansion for $65 million, more than half off the $135 million he first sought for the property in 2020.

Last year, he sold a Palm Beach house for $66 million.

The deal’s total value is $127 million, but that also includes the home’s art and other contents furnished by Dovigi and his wife, designer Fernanda Dovigi.

Wynn, the founder and former chairman and CEO of Wynn Resorts, resigned from his eponymous company in 2018 after multiple allegations of sexual misconduct were made by his former employees to the Wall Street Journal. Wynn has also agreed to an effective ban from Nevada’s gambling industry.

Wynn has repeatedly asserted that he never harassed or sexually assaulted anyone.
