Last year, Appaloosa CEO David Tepper bought a gorgeous, oceanfront mansion in Sagaponack for $43.5 million, making it the most expensive home in the Hamptons.

But he's offically torn the place down, apparently to make room for a house that's nearly twice the size of the original (via Curbed Hamptons).

Southampton Patch has the aerial proof, as well as photos of the property before it was razed.

Here's the property in April:
