Excerpts: Son of Embattled Entrepreneur Lists Historic Seaside Mansion
- Former MIT professor turned entrepreneur, John J. Donovan Sr. made hundreds of millions during the dot-com bubble, but has been embroiled in high-drama family infighting ever since, battling four of his five children for control of trusts and estates worth millions.
- According to public records, the younger Donovan paid $6M in 2009 for the historic estate known as Seagate, in the tony North Shore town of Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mass., but the elder Donovan’s website also has the property listed under his holdings, along with a YouTube link to a video flyover of the property (below).
