Though they separated in late 2022 after 33 years of marriage, the extravagant Los Angeles estate that Tony and Jeanne Pritzker once shared has only now become available for sale following the finalization of their divorce this past May. The Pritzkers—he an heir to the Hyatt Hotels fortune and chairman and CEO of Pritzker Private Capital who has an estimated net worth of around $4 billion, and she a longtime philanthropist—are asking a whopping $195 million for the Beverly Hills Post Office residence, which ranks as one of the largest in the U.S.
Should the place go for anywhere near the hefty ask, it would set a record for the city, topping the sale of a nearby Beverly Hills spread known as the Warner Estate that went to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in 2020 for $165 million. The listing is held by Stephen Shapiro and Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency.

Resting beyond walls and a lengthy gated and hedge-lined driveway, atop a six-acre promontory overlooking the entire L.A. Basin, the property was custom-built and designed by McCoy Construction and architect Ed Tuttle over six years and completed in 2011. Structures include a main home, a detached guesthouse, and separate staff quarters—for a combined total of 16 bedrooms and 27 baths in 50,000 square feet.
A fountain-clad courtyard serves as a gateway to the primary residence, which greets with a striking atrium-style foyer resembling I.M. Pei’s Louvre Pyramid. Other highlights include a living room holding one of almost 20 fireplaces filtered throughout the house, a formal dining room, a gourmet kitchen outfitted with Gagganeau appliances, and a library. A sumptuous primary suite has dual closets and baths.
The greenery-encased grounds span six acres and showcase an infinity-edge pool and spa.

Elsewhere is a movie theater, a wine cellar, a wellness center, a bowling alley, and a safe room. The amenities continue outdoors, where the manicured grounds are laced with gardens and meandering pathways and host an infinity-edge pool and spa, a full kitchen, and a lighted tennis court flanked by a viewing platform. There’s also geothermal heating and cooling, along with solar panels, a generator, and on-site parking for up to 100 vehicles.
The erstwhile couple has since gone their separate real estate ways. Per The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the listing, Jeanne has moved out of the marital estate and Tony Pritzker appears to have spent $19.5 million on a penthouse at Westwood’s Beverly West condominium.
