David MacNeil, the founder of the Bolingbrook-based automotive accessory company known for its floor mats, has been making waves in the Florida luxury housing market. So far in 2026, his real estate transactions have totaled nearly a quarter-billion dollars. The latest deal involved selling an oceanfront home in Fort Lauderdale for $26 million.
MacNeil started his company in 1989, building it into a major player in the car accessories industry. Over the past few months, he has been buying and selling high-end properties along the Florida coast with remarkable frequency. The $26 million sale is just one of several recent trades that have pushed his total activity in the state past the $200 million mark.
Industry observers note that MacNeil appears to be repositioning his portfolio, moving in and out of some of the most expensive waterfront addresses in the region. While he has not commented publicly on the strategy, the scale of the transactions suggests a focused investment in prime coastal real estate. The flurry of deals has made him one of the most active individual buyers and sellers in the Florida luxury market this year.
