Together, the couple own residential property valued at $925,000 after deducting mortgages. This includes their large nine-room Tudor home in the Forest Hills section of New York City, a vacation house on New York's Fire Island and a condominium apartment on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Ferraro separately owns four lots next to their Fire Island retreat, and Zaccaro has three similar lots there. The bulk of the family wealth, however, is possessed by Zaccaro, whose holdings were estimated at $2.75 million. He owns another condo in St. Croix and one in New York...
...entire floors of famous hotels. Like Henry VIII, a part he played with gusto in Anne of the Thousand Days, Burton lavished jewels on his consort: the 33-carat Krupp diamond, the 69-carat Cartier diamond and the lustrous Peregrina pearl that King Philip II of Spain gave Mary Tudor in 1554. Liz and Dick made a couple of good movies together, including Virginia Woolf and The Taming of the Shrew, and some fine glitzy entertainments, like The V.I.P.s, but for the most part their professional collaboration was disastrous, resulting in embarrassments like Hammersmith Is Out and The Sandpiper...

A full-time housekeeper-cook relieves Ferraro of the more onerous domestic chores, but she clings ritualistically to her weekly grocery shopping. The couple's three children, ages 22, 20 and 17, attended expensive prep schools (Choate, Spence) and private colleges (Brown, Middlebury). Ferraro, who flies home from her small Washington apartment every chance she gets, is very close to her husband of 24 years. Tall...
Jackson takes me outside to the back. The patio is made of perfectly placed brown bricks. A tree is strung, with tiny white lights. We turn to look at the house. It too is outlined with tiny white lights, which trace squares along the Tudor lines. "The Tivoli lights," says Jackson. In the back courtyard there is an old-fashioned red popcorn cart, the kind you see at country fairs with pretty gold lettering on the sides. Jackson wants to show me the swimming pool. A wall behind it has four fountainheads carved like bearded Neptunes spouting water from puckered...
