According to property records, the family still co-owns a 14-acre blufftop property in Hawaii, which they bought in 2002 for $8.5 million – although it's not clear how this property was divided post-divorce. In addition, the family owns a 33-acre property in Chappaqua, New York which they bought in 2010 for $10 million – although once again, it's not clear who maintained ownership of this property after Taylor and Stiller's divorce.
