The four-bedroom condo on Florida's Fisher Island has an illustrious history: it once belonged to Oprah Winfrey, and it was most recently owned by Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll, the executive chairman of luxury sports car maker Aston Martin Lagonda.
On Fisher Island, a 216-acre artificial island in Miami's Biscayne Bay, the average income is $2.2 million, making it the richest ZIP code in the US, per a Bloomberg report.
Stroll originally listed Winfrey's onetime home for $32 million in January 2019, but the most recent listing price was $24.95 million, per Mansion Global.

Residents of Fisher Island, a 216-acre manmade island in Miami's Biscayne Bay, have an average income of $2.2 million, making it the country's richest ZIP code, according to a Bloomberg report.
To live on the exclusive island, you must first become a member of the elite Fisher Island Club by paying a one-time $250,000 equity contribution and $22,256 in annual dues. And that doesn't include buying one of the condos on the island, which cost about $3 million on average. About 700 families live on Fisher Island in almost 30 luxury condominium buildings.
