The oceanfront Barnegat Light home features an elevator, rooftop deck, and dual outdoor showers.
Mary Alice Dorrance Malone, the billionaire heiress to the Campbell Soup fortune, is selling her oceanfront Barnegat Light home for $2.295 million, the Trulia listing shows.
Malone, whose chemist grandfather John T. Dorrance Sr., invented the condensed soup formula for the Campbell Soup Company and later bought out the company, is a breeder of champion horses and owns an equestrian farm in Coatesville, Pa., and another estate in the equestrian center of Wellington, Fla., where she recently paid $17 million to expand to her holdings to a total of 100 acres.
Fortune lists her as the wealthiest person in Philadelphia with a fortune of $3.9 billion.

Records show Malone bought the 3,500-square-foot Barnegat Light home a decade ago for $2.75 million. The 4-bedroom, 3-full bath home with a curved facade facing the ocean and mahogony decking also features an elevator, rooftop deck, motorized storm shutters, a 2-car garage and dual outdoor showers. She had tried to sell the home last year for $2.595 million but apparently they were no takers. Property taxes are $15,398 a year.
For someone looking for a Long Beach Island compound, the house next door is also for sale by the same real estate agent, Benee Scola. It has five bedrooms (three en-suite), an in-deck swimming pool and a koi pond. It's on the market for $2.195 million.
