Entrepreneur Robert Semaan and his wife, Lynda Tabuya, bought a four-bedroom, four bath at 17 Grand Meridien Forest in Wildwood for $1.875 million from John and Kristy Leach on Apr. 13, 2006.

The Leaches paid $280,000 for the property in Nov. 2003. The house was built in 2004.

Carla J. Borgard and Brett Borgard of Coldwell Banker Gundaker-Town and Country were the agents for the deal.

Mr. Semaan made national headlines from 2002-04 as a co-owner of St. Charles-based 321 Studios, a DVD copying software company that was sued by the Motion Picture Association of America for violation of copyright law.

Mr. Semaan, a native of Australia who moved to the United States in the mid-90's, also co-founded St. Louis-based Access US in 1995. Access US is one of the largest Internet Service Provider companies in the Midwest.
