Food Network chef Guy Fieri sells Lake Worth Beach home for less than he hoped for
Celebrity chef Guy Fieri finally sold his waterfront Lake Worth Beach home this year after it languished on the market since September 2023.
Fieri, host of Food Network’s popular “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” and frequent man about town in Palm Beach County, bought the secluded 6,000-square-foot Bella Vista Avenue home for $3.9 million in March 2021.
He listed it for sale in 2023 for $8.75 million. That price was slashed several times before it sold in January for $7 million. While that’s nearly double what the spikey-haired chef paid for the home, it’s $1.75 million less than what he hoped to get for it.
About 28% of Palm Beach County single-family homes were forced to drop prices in January 2025, according to the online brokerage firm Redfin. That increased to 30% in April.

Florida bears brunt of President Trump’s travel ban from Haiti, limits on Venezuela, Cuba

The president issued an order banning travel from 12 countries, including Haiti, and placed visa restrictions on seven other nations, including Cuba and Venezuela. Many people traveling to the United States from these nations arrive at airports in South Florida and have made their homes in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
All three nations are also coping with two other major U.S. Supreme Court rulings allowing the Trump administration to proceed with deportations, at least for now.
