Snyder put his 30,000-square-foot Potomac, Maryland, mansion up for sale in February, asking a cool $49 million for the property. But this week, the price dropped $14 million.
This is not the first time Snyder has tried to shake this residence.
He also asked $49 million for it in 2018, but that didn’t seem to work out. Since then, he’s purchased another riverfront mansion — this one for $48 million, located near George Washington’s Mount Vernon in Virginia and a downsize for Snyder with 16,000 square feet of space.
Snyder reportedly bought the Potomac mansion for a little over $8.6 million in 2000, from the estate of Jordan’s King Hussein and Queen Noor.
