Good news for anyone looking for a huge bargain in the Hamptons now that we've reached the end of the season. After languishing on the market for four months at $19.5 million, billionaire hedge funder John Paulson has slashed the price of his 6,800-square-foot Southampton home. It's now just $16.9 million. Even with the $2.6 million discount, Paulson will still collect a profit (assuming he sells at that price, of course). He bought the three-acre property from Jurgen Friedrich for $12.75 million in 2006. But after his hedge fund's stellar year in 2007—Paulson himself collected ten figures, making him the highest-paid man in finance for the year—it was clear he'd have to trade up, and he picked up an estate nearby for $41.3 million. After the jump, photos of Paulson's hand-me-down.

Hedge funder Scott Bommer and his wife Donya have sold their duplex penthouse at 1060 Fifth Avenue for "around" $48.9 million according to the Observer, just seven months after they picked up the place for $46 million. The Bommers will no longer possess one of the few Manhattan apartments that comes with its very own greenhouse; on the plus side, the couple's regained the record for the priciest co-op transaction in NYC history, an honor they temporarily lost when Jonathan Tisch picked up a Fifth Ave co-op for $48 million earlier this summer.

What's Hollywood producer Paula Wagner planning to do now that she's officially splitting from partner Tom Cruise and United Artists? Is a move to New York on the agenda?

Wagner and Nicita's new home in the luxe Tribeca building—it's also home to Time Warner chairman Dick Parsons—is 2,241-square-feet and features beamed ceilings, tropical wood floors, and sweeping city views.
