She\u2019s relocating to South Florida to look for a new, and very rich, husband, she told The Post.<\/p>\n<p>Mugrabi\u2019s comments, made from the mansion, are an about-face from last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/09\/18\/real-estate\/libbie-mugrabi-refuses-to-leave-her-25m-hamptons-mansion\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">when she indicated<\/a> she planned to stay put at the Bridgehampton property.

Tamara Beckwith\/NY Post<\/p>\n<p>Mugrabi lost the mansion in a court-ordered auction in August, and says she\u2019s heading to South Florida. Dennis A. Clark for NY Post<\/p>\n<p>The departure would end a two-year odyssey that took Mugrabi from ownership of a grand Bridgehampton estate<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/08\/28\/real-estate\/libbie-mugrabi-loses-hamptons-mansion-at-court-ordered-sale\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> to losing it<\/a> at a riotous court-ordered auction on Southampton Town Hall\u2019s steps for $5.86 million.<\/p>\n<p>Mugrabi got <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/06\/02\/real-estate\/see-why-libbie-mugrabis-hamptons-mansion-asks-25m-for-sale\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the 10,687-square-foot Hamptons mansion<\/a> and its surrounding 6.8 acres as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2018\/12\/15\/inside-nycs-messiest-multimillion-dollar-divorce\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">her 2020 divorce settlement<\/a> from art patron David Mugrabi, whose billionaire family is said to have the largest collection of Andy Warhol works in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The subsequent dispute over the dwelling stems from Mugrabi admittedly paying nothing on a $3.5 million loan she took out against the home. Her lender had battled her in a Suffolk County court to receive the proceeds back. <\/p>\n<p>Mugrabi said her priorities from here on out are getting more deeply into the art world and \u201cinterviewing (prospective) husbands who will take care of me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The impressive spread is nearly 11,000 square feet.

Patrick McMullan via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Henry Ikezi, who ran for Queens Borough President last year, won the property at the raucous auction. Dennis A. Clark for NY Post<\/p>\n<p>The question remains whether the auction winner, area politician and real estate investor Henry Ikezi, has wrapped up <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/09\/10\/real-estate\/henry-ikezi-bought-libbie-mugrabis-hamptons-mansion\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his purchase<\/a> of the home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ikezi declined to comment on the status of his plans to pay the auction price. Suffolk County Clerk records as of Friday morning showed the owner to be the company that made the loan to her, an affiliate of REO Assets of America, in Great Neck, N.Y. This could mean the transaction has not been completed or the new deed has not been processed through the system.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ikezi sent The Post photos of bags stuffed with clothing and sheaves of legal papers he said are evidence of Mugrabi packing. They could not immediately be verified.<\/p>\n<p>Ikezi, who likes to refer to himself as Sir Henry Ike, has a worth of $24 million on paper as the biggest single shareholder of Solidion Technology, an early-stage advanced battery developer. Ikezi also had an unsuccessful run for Queens Borough President and invested in residential properties.<\/p>\n<p>The countdown for Ikezi to complete the purchase began at the Aug. 28 auction and gave him 30 or 45 days, depending on how the sale is legally structured.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the drama surrounding the home\u2019s sale, Mugrabi said there are some bright spots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are still a lot of good memories here,\u201d Mugrabi said, which includes raising her two children in the home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Libbie Mugrabi is packing up her bags and planning to bag a very rich new spouse in the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":411135,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[163073,28,30,29,803,10462,480,804,163074,121870],"class_list":["post-411134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-auctions","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news","tag-luxury-real-estate","tag-mansions","tag-real-estate","tag-residential-real-estate","tag-socialites","tag-the-hamptons"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=411134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411134\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/411135"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=411134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=411134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=411134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
