This tea house takes the cake.

The historic Astor Tea House in Rhinebeck, which was built so the Astors could have a place to sip their tea, was sold to Robert Duffy, the president of Marc Jacobs, for $2.31 million.

Vincent Astor erected the Tea House to be part of the Astor Courts estate, which was built in 1902 by his great grandfather, John Jacob Astor IV, as a playground for America’s aristocracy.

Astor Courts continued to be a playground for America’s aristocracy when Chelsea Clinton married banker Marc Mezvinsky there in 2010.
