$34 Million Florida Penthouse Takes Cryptocurrency

Born to strict parents in a small town in Texas, Christine Quinn always dreamed of more. She left home with only an eighth-grade education and set off to make it on her own. Her hustle and confidence carried her to numerous acting roles and a modeling career.  

Discovering a passion for architecture and interior design, Christine transitioned to real estate, eventually returning to entertainment with her role on the reality series Selling Sunset, which followed her career as a real estate agent for LA’s The Oppenheim Group. The blonde bombshell was cast as the villain on the series, where she was known for her designer outfits and cutthroat tactics, which she details in her book, How to Be a Boss Bitch. 

This year, Christine announced her exit from The Oppenheim Group to set up her own firm in Los Angeles. Together with her husband, Christian Dumontet, Christine has launched RealOpen, a platform that allows buyers to purchase homes using cryptocurrency. The service allows crypto asset holders to offer, negotiate, and complete a cash purchase of any property—without cashing out their crypto assets before closing.  

Offered at $33.9 million, the ultra-luxury penthouse of a 43-story skyscraper, Regalia, is the first South Florida property to be featured on the platform and offered directly to the crypto community. Says Christine, “Our platform bridges the gap between luxury real estate and Miami’s deep crypto community. The Penthouse at Regalia is the introduction of RealOpen to Miami.”

The largest condo currently on the Miami-area market, with 10,755 square feet of indoor living plus 6,050 square feet of 360-degree wraparound terrace, the Penthouse at Regalia offers three floors plus a private rooftop deck. At the top of the tallest building in Sunny Isles Beach, the home offers big views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, Golden Beach, and the skylines of Miami and Miami Beach.  

Huge windows provide 360 degrees of views and tons of natural light. Six bedrooms and six bathrooms are complemented by a glass wine cellar, lounge theater, bar, and billiards room. The master bathroom is an exquisite, spa-like space with its own steam room, sauna, and massage area. The entire space has been furnished with the finest materials sourced from around the world and meticulously designed by Charles Allem of CAD International, named five times to Architectural Digest’s AD 100 top list.

Sunny Isles Beach, located on a barrier island northeast of Miami and southeast of Fort Lauderdale, has transformed from a two-mile stretch of 1950s-era family motels to highrise-luxury condo buildings. It has some of Florida’s most stunning oceanfront vistas with beaches of white sand and pristine public parks, plus world-renowned restaurants, nightclubs, and theaters. A-listers with nearby homes include Serena Williams, Cindy Crawford, and DJ Khaled. 

The listing is held by RealOpen, Bozana Cavar, and Karley Chynces agents.
