Chris Hughes, the baby-faced half-billionaire best known for being Mark Zuckerberg's college roommate and facilitating the demise of the New Republic, and his husband, political failure Sean Eldridge, are selling their massive Greenwich Village townhouse for $26 million.
Facebook cofounder Chris Hughes surprised many this morning by writing a New York Times op-ed calling for a government breakup of the company he is no longer a part of.
