Residence

Hagadone owns one of the largest estates in Palm Desert. It covers an area in excess of 64,000sq.ft. The $30 million home is a futuristic spread which has 19 electronic, moveable glass walls that can open onto the mountain air and the vast network of pools that weave through the property.

Yachts

Hagadone used to own a 50.00m yacht Lady Lola. It was aired by Discovery Channel in the program "The Million Dollar Yachts" which not only featured Lady Lola and her Shadow but also some other notable yachts.

The yacht was even equipped with fully functional golf course and speed boats to bring back the stray golf balls. The yacht also had its own helipads and helicopters and a submarine which can accommodate three people at a time.

Hagadone now owns a custom-made carbonfiber sailboat that stays on Lake Coeur d'Alene in the summertime.
