n the midst of a bygone era, Chris Hunter's Four Loko empire helped fuel his ascent to luxury. Now, he and his holistic nutrition consultant wife Melanie have splurged on a $10.5 million waterfront mansion in Miami.
The couple's latest acquisition is a 7,198-square-foot modern masterpiece nestled within the gates of Belle Meade. Built by MK Developers' Eyal Kessous, this six-bedroom, seven-and-a-half-bathroom residence boasts an open-concept living area, complete with a chef's kitchen and built-in bar.
A private guest wing on the ground floor offers seclusion, while the outdoor spaces shine with a summer kitchen, two covered areas, and a pool accompanied by a hot tub. The pièce de résistance is a new dock, perfect for soaking up South Florida's sun-kissed vibes.
Chris Hunter's entrepreneurial journey began with Four Loko, the infamous caffeinated alcoholic drink that captured the hearts of club kids in the early 2010s. However, it was his pivot to Koia, a plant-based beverage brand, and Alii Supplement, founded by Melanie, that cemented their status as industry leaders.
The Hunters' new home is a testament to their success, with features like impact windows, surround sound, and a state-of-the-art security system. Chad Carroll and Brett Eaglstein of Compass facilitated the transaction, bringing both parties together in this high-stakes deal.
