duPont REGISTRY is an American luxury lifestyle brand and high-end automobile digital marketplace founded in 1985. Originally established as a luxury lifestyle magazine, duPont REGISTRY has evolved to become a digital platform for luxury items, while maintaining its prestigious print publication.[1]
The original idea was conceived and presented to Thomas L. duPont by Steven B. Chapman and Clinton W. Sly. Thomas duPont bought one-third of the company and he provided the initial funding. Chapman, Sly and duPont were equal owners. The firm's headquarters are in Clearwater, Florida.[2] Their former Tampa location was also home to a luxury car showroom.[3] As of 2003, their average reader had a net worth of 2.2 million.[4] The flagship publication is duPont Registry: A Buyers Gallery of Fine Automobiles, which launched in 1985. Other titles include duPont Registry: A Buyers Gallery of Fine Homes, duPont Registry: A Buyers Gallery of Fine Boats, and duPont Registry Tampa Bay. Their web presence has been described as a "rich man's Craigslist".[5]
In December 2021, duPont REGISTRY became part of the Motorsport Network.[6] and now is part of duPont REGISTRY Group.
