Billy Joel and his third wife, Katie Lee Joel, announced that they were divorcing in June 2009, so it's not surprising that they have put their side-by-side beachfront estates in the Hamptons on the market. According to preposterously well-informed scouts at The Real Estalker, Joel is trying to unload the two homes for $22.5 million and $12.5 million--a lot more than the $28 million and change he paid for both in 2007. (Though he did pay in cash...gulp.)

See the official listings here and here!

Check out the galleries to see the newly renovated, Nate Berkus-decorated, ocean viewing houses he's giving up.

The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom space adheres to the design principle of minimalist chic.

Windows provide ocean views. The beach is just yards away from the front door.

As in the larger home, muted walls let the furnishings do the talking.

    FACT IS, THOSE WHO HAVE SACKS OF STASH, WILL BUY WHATEVER THEY'RE MONEY WILL BUY. IF ONE CAN AFFORD TO BUY THE "SLUT", WHY BUY A PLAYBOY MAGAZINE INSTEAD? AND YES, THERE ARE MANY "WITCHES" CRINGING AROUND MANY CORNERS IN SEARCH OF SOME MAN WITH CASH HE IS WILLING TO SPEND ON THEM. BOTH OF THESE KIND NEED SOME EDUCATION BEFORE THEY START LOOKING ABOUT. MONEY, IS "THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL!" AND EVIL IS LURKING EVERY WHERE. FIND A DECENT PARTNER WHO IS INTERESTED IN FAMILY AND HOME, AND FAIRNESS AND DECENCY. HOLLYWOOD, OF COURSE, IS THE BIGGEST DOWNFALL OF NOT ONLY AMERICA, BUT THE REST OF THE WORLD AS WELL. READ AND FOLLOW YOUR BIBLE , HAVE HOPE, FAITH AND OFFER CHARITY WITH THE UNFORTUNATE !

    I havent gone to the movies in a long time. I do NOT want to listen to profanity, 4 letter words and demeaning behaviour. That is not entertainment for me. Neither is shooting, drugs, sadistic behavor, killing, torture or abuse of women. So I dont go. I hand pick stuff I want to see or I read. If movies promoted excellent outcome / success with bright smart individuals, and showed the kids how good it can be, then the good might rub off. Right now, with all the vice, video games, and lost in translation i.e. alternate reality, without balancing it with the good old fashioned "respect your elders, be a boys scout, do good things to others, christian spirit etc, voluteer, do your chores etc.. that would help to counter balance the vile things coming at them. But hey, what are parents for? they should be supervising their children, so they dont cry later.

    Kathy, Kathy, Kathy, you are so on the defensive. I must have hit a nerve. Number one, you NEVER get personal in a debate. The subject is Billy Joel and men like him who chose young girls as mates in their old age. As I was saying they will always get burned, unless he has something to trade like Hugh Heffner (who looks like an Alzheimers patient in a hospital, with partially clad nurses running around him) Girls are there for a trade. His stylists should revamp his image, get away from that Alzheimer patient look in his pajamas or dressing gown. Billy Joel is not there yet.

    I think she said on Oprah that they met in a bar. She was on there showing Oprah how to make meatloaf like she invented it. I thought she was an air head but obviously she was dumb like a fox. From that bar pick-up she'll now be set for life like Heather MIlls.

    Billy Joel is so stupid when it comes to picking women. All of them were golddiggers. Is he that blind not to see this? He's a brilliant musician, but he's a fool when it comes to picking wives. Katie Lee will make out like a bandit once this divorce is final. She will surely get a chunk of the money from the sale of their two Hampton's beach homes.

    What was he thinking? Katie isn't much older than his daughter which I think is kind of creepy. She's going to capitalize on the "Joel" whether they're together or not. Is anyone surprised by this? He and Christy Brinkley should have stayed married. Their lives are both screwed up due to poor decisions. I hope he made her sign a pre-nup!

    Billy looks like he is suffering from the side effects of viagra. The piano man is little more than a shriveled up piano man. We can't be young forever. Billy is finding out the hard way. He is going softly into the good night.

    These old geezers are apparently too stupid to know when they are being used. Billy -- look in the mirror and tell me you actually believe some pretty 20-something (or 30-something) is going to fall in "love" with you. They want your money and fame. They'd go after elephant man if it meant having all expenses paid for whatever they want. You are being used, dummy!! Quit dating these women young enough to be your daughter. The world laughs at your stupidity!

    Welcome to the United States of Hollywould. The rich stars and their favorite politicians get richer. They have tons of $$, so more taxes won't bother them. But, hey, let's take the guy that worked his entire life and with sweat and a bit of luck, actually makes six figures and let's "redistribute" his money. Why should he get to keep and enjoy what he has EARNED? Oh yeah, hate him because he has a nice house and works his butt off, but don't hold any harsh words for the Polished Elite - Actors, Politicians and their fine feathered friends. Those folks are selling YOU that they CARE about YOU and the WORLD and it sounds SO GOOD, but watch out. They will take MY money and yours to "support" programs, yet they WILL NOT PERSONALLY SACRIFICE anything!

    Oh, my. Are we are supposed to feel sorry for these two while they unload their million doolar plus homes while hundreds and thousands of others do not even have a roof over their heads...She should choke on sometthing in her next TV dinner meal, And he, when drunk, running amok on our roads as he has done so in the past, he should drive himself into a brick wall.

    You need to know President Obama makes a salary, and this is his JOB. I am sure he had money before the election and he should be able to take his wife to dinner anytime he pleases. If YOU were president, where would you take your wife to dinner? Mickey D's?, KFC?, please you would want the best and you should have it, so should the Obamas.

    And as far as the pics of him in the school, what about all the other presidents that have pics hanging? President Obama has made history and deserves the right to have his picture hung right along with the rest. Stop hating and get a life. He was voted into office and you should give him the support to change all the wrongs Bush has done, as I am sure you voted for Bush when he was in office.-----------Just how much TAXPAYER MONEY was used when Obama took his wife to dinner in NY? Just how much TAXPAYER MONEY was used when Obama had his wife and children flown into Paris (where she had shopkeepers open their doors on a Sunday, when they would normally be closed). And just WHAT does this have to do with the topic at hand, that being BILLY JOEL?????? You Obama supporters just can't stop yourselves from piping in, even when it's not appropriate, can you?

    Poor bastard, he still does not get it. How many times is he going to get married and divorced to realize that they just want the "loot."

    Billy Joel is a very talented man and he deserves all that he has, however, I wonder if these famous people ever stop and think how many people they could feed with all of that unnessary glitz? There are hungry children in this world.....wake up people.
