Narcy Novack and Ben Novack Jr. - Part 1
🕑 Added 2025-12-23 13:00:10 +0000 UTCBen Novack, Jr. was the heir to a fortune built on an iconic American institution – The Fontainebleau hotel in Miami Beach. Benji was an eccentric and abrasive millionaire who managed to alienate nearly everyone he met. With a drug habit, multiple mistresses, and a jaw-dropping collection of jewelry and pop culture memorabilia, he lived a life of excess. There was a long list of people who might have wanted him dead. At the top of that list was his wife, Narcy Novack. When Ben Novack Jr. was found brutally murdered in July 2009, people couldn’t help wondering - had Narcy finally had enough of his running around?

Interesting! It looks like a very cool place full of history.

Lol everyone mispronounced the Fountainebleau, including me! I had no idea until I heard you pronounce it correctly. I’d never heard this before. I think I prefer the mispronounced version .

PS lived in South Beach for 2 years and went to the Fontainebleau quite a few times for fun and also did some work on design of their pool area . The story was fascinating and I’d forgotten about it until I saw your podcast!
