Stallone's family ties to Palm Beach County

The Stallones are now empty-nesters, and that apparently influenced their decision to make Florida their permanent home. Two of their daughters are living in New York City, and the other is enrolled at the University of Miami. Stallone also said he and his wife were going to sell their California house.

The main residence had eight bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, an office, library, gourmet kitchen, dining room with hand-painted walls that resemble a castle, a full bar, and a cigar room. There’s also a somewhat recent addition of a guest house by renowned architect Richard Landry. According to the Palm Beach Daily News, Sly bought his property, which includes a main house, guest house, pool pavilion, key-shaped pool, seven bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, and 13,000 square feet property in 2021. The property, which has a 10,500-square-foot main house and guest house, boasts four bedrooms and eight bathrooms. It also features a number of luxe amenities, including the pool, spa, cabana, four-stable barn, gym and movie theater.

He was replaced, at least on the call sheet, by Justin Routt, a 63-year-old Miami film novice and convicted felon who did not direct any scene in the movie, according to eight members of the film’s production. He’s also become a reality star on “The Family Stallone,” with his wife, Jennifer Flavin, and daughters, Sophia, Sistine and Scarlet. During a 2021 interview with Vogue, the “30” artist shared that she is a big fan of the “Rocky” movies that Stallone wrote and starred in, which could explain her affinity for the statue.

Nicole Kidman on making ‘Birth’ and why she chooses films that aren’t a ‘soothing bath’

It’s a bittersweet sale for Sylvester Stallone, who just unloaded his Beverly Park mega-mansion for $58 million. That’s Southern California’s priciest sale so far this year, but it’s 47% shy of his original price tag of $110 million. In December, Convergence Entertainment President Small emailed the St. Tammany Sheriff’s Office lawyer. “We’ve never been in this position in the past, and have always made it a priority to pay our employees in a timely manner,” Small wrote in his email, which was viewed by The Times. The delay, according to Small, was due to a production accountant quitting. “Stallone basically took over for that one day,” said Noell, the prop master.

A deep and apparently ancient gorge of oolitic limestone, overgrown with ferns, snakes through the garden—its most romantic feature—although Stallone explains that it was once Vizcaya's quarry. It's slung with bridges of wood and stone, the former vaguely Oriental, the latter Venetian. The modest 3-story residence features 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms as well as 2,525 square feet of living space. The family was given the go-ahead permission to build a security gate around the property, transforming it into a luxury compound right in the middle of a deluxe Palm Beach neighbourhood. Outside, an entertainer’s paradise in the form of a whirlpool spa, swimming pool, and 254 feet of water frontage surrounded by tropical plantings.

Communication breakdowns were common, according to Chamberlain, Hughes and a third crew member. In separate interviews, the three men recalled when, in a rush, directors failed to entirely seal off a bridge before staging a special-effects explosion, startling a grip who was walking at the end of the bridge. Two production members said he often showed up late and got into public spats on set with Holley, who was hired to help run the production office. Emmett would often retreat to his trailer during filming, various crew members said, leaving an assistant director, camera operator, the stunt coordinator or Holley to step in. Two years ago, his Emmett/Furla Oasis production company collapsed after multiple lawsuits over unpaid bills from former business partners and the Writers Guild of America.

There are frescoed clouds on the ceiling and old-master drawings on the blue silk walls. The bed is a nineteenth-century mahogany four-poster with ornate spiral columns and—why not? Stallone loves his sybarite's bath—“a living room with faucets”—which contains a Japanese soaking tub, a Jacuzzi, a groin-vaulted ceiling, columns of malachite, gold-plated hardware, and a Greek Venus. The actor is both a painter and a passionate collector with eclectic taste. Two long galleries run the length of the main floor, one hung in Louis blue, where Andy Warhol's portrait of Stallone and LeRoy Neiman's portrait of Rocky share the walls with dark and moody abstract canvases by the actor.

Stallone is only one of a constellation of celebrities who own homes in Palm Beach. That list includes rockers Jon Bon Jovi and Rod Stewart, television host and radio shock jock Howard Stern; celebrity heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz; and conservative firebrand Sean Hannity. His late father and polo enthusiast, Frank Stallone Sr., had a longtime home in the equestrian village of Wellington, about 30 miles west of Palm Beach. The Oscar-nominated star of the “Rocky” and “Rambo” movie franchises has strong ties to Florida. Born in New York, Stallone built his career in California, where he and his family have lived for many years.

The other gallery is a broad corridor punctuated by niches and illuminated by a Venetian chandelier dripping with amber and amethyst crystal fruits. In the niches are nymphs, angels, and Madonnas, and on the walls, some fine Renaissance saints and Second Empire mythical scenes. There is stylized flesh everywhere, inside and out—heroic bronzes, classical torsos, a discus thrower, sea monsters, and even a couple of life-size stone lions.

Miami may be famous for its Art Déco architecture, and these days for the drop-dead minimalism of certain renovated South Beach hotels, but at heart it's always been a Second Empire town. Like the Paris of Napoleon III, it's fancy and flush on the surface and seething underneath—and it's never been shy about ostentation. One can imagine him in a custom-made guayabera, chomping on a black-market Cuban cigar, drinking one espresso after another and pounding out a human comedy on his laptop by the pool. Stallone has other private sanctums, each one splendidly outfitted for its particular form of recreation.

Officially, Stallone cemented himself in Hollywood history with his film Rocky being inducted into the National Film Registry and its props being placed in the Smithsonian Museum. During his career, Stallone had three Academy Award nominations and a Golden Globe win for 2015’s Creed, and it’s easy exactly how much Stallone has impacted the world of film throughout his life. After selling his Beverly Park mansion to Adele for $58 million in February, the actor and his wife, Jennifer Flavin, are asking $22.5 million for their Hamptons-style estate in Hidden Hills.

In particular, he talks about the terrible-sounding pectoral tear he suffered that nearly derailed the production on Rocky II, which taps into fan speculation that the Predator and Terminator star may have been involved in some way. In response to The Times’ questions, Emmett’s attorney submitted nine signed declarations from others involved in the production, including Emmett’s girlfriend, Alissa Holley. In their declarations, Convergence executive Osborne and Peña said Stallone was not surprised by Emmett’s “presence” on set, although they did not address whether the actor knew Emmett was the director as well as a producer. When the Oscar nominee sold the luxurious 21,000-square-foot home to the Grammy winner in February 2022, it marked the priciest Southern California transaction of the year up to that point.
