Sackler family company pays $7 million for mansion near Boca Raton

View descriptionShare

Members of the Sackler family, owner of OxyContin-maker Purdue Pharma, are living near Boca Raton in a sprawling mansion bought for $7.4 million. The purchase is the second real estate investment by the Sacklers in Palm Beach County, a ground zero in the nationwide opioid crisis. David Sackler, a former Purdue Pharma board member, lives in the home. Like the July purchase of a West Palm Beach office building, the Sacklers’ home purchase took place shortly before Purdue Pharma filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in a bid to resolve 2,600 opioid lawsuits pending against the company. Like many other municipalities, Palm Beach County is suing Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family over the opioid epidemic, claiming the Sacklers played an aggressive role in marketing the highly addictive painkiller OxyContin.
