Bobbi Brownhas opened the doors to her luxe Hamptons home.
“We don’t rent, we own it,” Brown replies, before making a surprising admission. “I have no idea [what it cost] since my husband bought it and built it. It’s his business.”
Brown has been married to Steven Plofker, a real estate developer, for more than 30 years. The couple shares three sons, Dylan, Duke and Dakota.
The celebrity makeup artist then begins the tour, first pointing out the original house on the property before showing Simpson her newly built home, which she says they moved into over Memorial Day.
The Bobbi Brown Cosmetics founder shows off the living room, which features floor-to-ceiling glass doors leading out to a large terrace. She explains that she and her husband are still in the process of furnishing the empty room. “This is the opposite kind of house that I’ve ever lived in,” she tells Simpson.
The pair then tour the expansive open-plan kitchen, which has a mostly white palette accented with pale wood cabinets and finishes. “What I love about this kitchen [is it’s] very minimal,” Brown says, pointing out a well-stocked bar, which leads to her sharing her signature cocktail, the Bobbi Rocks. (Simpson included the recipe in the caption of his post.)
After Simpson compliments the seamless flow to the home’s outdoor living spaces, Brown explains that she and her family spend a lot of time outside. “We kayak, we canoe, we do all sorts of stuff,” she says.
She and Simpson step outside to admire the view from the well-appointed deck — and that view included yet another structure in the process of being built on the property. “I mean, I might have to move in here. Leave that other one to my husband,” she jokes as the pair stroll around the vaulted-roof building, featuring towering walls of windows on all sides.

Back in the main house, Brown and Simpson check out the primary bedroom. “You wake up and you look at the water,” she says of the spectacular views, before revealing the stunning en suite bathroom. She even climbs into the tub to show Simpson just how bit it is for “a small person” like her.
The video ends with the two riffing about Brown’s plunge into the wild world of TikTok. “People went bananas,” she recalls of her debut on the social media platform.

Five years ago, Brown and her husband teamed up on another major building project: transforming an old inn, The Georgian, into a modern, 32-room boutique hotel, which they renamedThe George.
Brown opened up about the process of designing and remodeling the Montclair, New Jersey, hotel, in an interview withELLE Decorin February 2018, explaining that she and Plofker tried to preserve as much of the inn’s original character as possible.
“As much as we could, we kept the old and then we added all of the industrial elements that my husband and I love, like the exposed racks for people to put their clothes on,” Brown told the magazine.
She said they were aiming to create a hotel for people looking for a more offbeat experience. “There are some people who like to stay at cookie cutter, corporate hotels. We don’t attract that type of clientele,” she explained. “My husband and I love to travel and we really like staying in really cool, boutique indie hotels. We are simple people.”
