Billionaire Sackler Family Behind Oxycontin Scandal Owns Massive Real Estate Portfolio

The billionaire Sackler family has been in the news a lot lately. They are the family behind Purdue Pharma, which for years was primarily known for selling arthritis medicine, earwax remover, and disinfectants. Then OxyContin launched in 1996 and changed the fortunes of the company and its founding family. OxyContin also launched the opioid epidemic across the globe. As a result, Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family have been embroiled in several lawsuits brought against them by states and cities across the U.S. Before all of that trouble started, however, the Sacklers were known for their contributions to philanthropy and their massive real estate portfolio.

In October, Purdue agreed to plead guilty to three felonies in relation to how it marketed OxyContin as part of an $8.34 billion settlement. Purdue filed for bankruptcy protection in 2019. It should absolutely be noted that no members of the Sackler family have been charged with any wrongdoing.

The Sackler family may be regrouping from the lawsuits against their company, but while they do so they can relax in comfort and style at any number of the luxurious homes owned by family members. Below we take a look at some of the Sackler family's most prestigious property holdings in the U.S. Members of the family also own homes in England, the South of France, and Switzerland.
