    Mark Wahlberg’s Former L.A. Mansion Is Back on the Market for $21.8 Million

    by

    You might not have been fortunate enough to snag Mark Wahlberg’s chateau-style megamansion in the ultra-exclusive Beverly Park enclave of Los Angeles that was just up for grabs. It went to Paris Hilton for a whopping $63 million. Now’s your chance, however, to scoop up another Beverly Hills home the Oscar-nominated actor also once owned, this one requiring a substantially smaller outlay of cash.

    Wahlberg acquired the property in the posh Oak Pass Road enclave in 2001 for $5 million, added his own custom touches and upgrades, and sold the place 12 years later for nearly $10.3 million. He’s since left L.A., relocating to Las Vegas in 2022. The estate is currently owned by real estate developer Don Rufus Hankey, the son of auto-loan billionaire Don Hankey, who picked it up in April 2018 for $12.4 million and first tried to sell it in 2022 for $28.5 million.

    Now the Mediterranean-style digs are available again for a smidge under $22 million, with the listing shared by Weston Littlefield, Aaron Kirman, Daniel Milstein, and Gregory Ramano of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California.

    Originally built in the mid-1980s, the compound offers a total of seven bedrooms and 12 baths across roughly 14,000 square feet of updated living space. Glitzy amenities include a detached two-level gym equipped with a full-sized boxing ring and aircraft hangar doors spilling out to a sports court, plus a salon, staff quarters, and a fireside movie theater sporting a wet bar.

    Among the other highlights is a coffer-ceilinged living and dining area, which has retractable glass doors opening out to an expansive glass-lined terrace framing canyon views. An eat-in kitchen is outfitted with top-tier Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and a climate-controlled wine cellar, while a sumptuous primary suite comes with dual walk-in closets and baths.

    A grotto-style pool in the backyard has a cascading waterfall and a waterslide carved into the rocks.

    As for the picturesque grounds, they span almost two acres and hold a grotto-style pool with a waterfall and waterslide, an outdoor screening area, putting greens, citrus orchards, and numerous spots ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining with amenities like a wood-burning pizza oven. There’s also a detached two-bedroom guesthouse, along with an attached three-car garage and additional parking for up to a dozen vehicles.

      Heather and Terry Dubrow’s Beverly Hills Home Just Sold for $16.5 Million

      by

      Five months after it first hit the market for $25 million and subsequently underwent a significant price chop, Heather and Terry Dubrow’s sprawling estate in the mountains above Beverly Hills has sold for $16.5 million.

      They initially were going to give the place a total overhaul, but when the planned renovation came in $8 million over budget, they decided to do a quickie $45,000 fix-up job and sell. Taking into account the costs associated with holding and maintaining the property for a couple of years and the real estate fees, The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member and her plastic surgeon husband likely took a loss on the 90210 compound they acquired in 2023 for for $16.1 million.

      Josh Altman of Douglas Elliman California and Josh Flagg of Compass held the listing, with the buyer repped by Christina Pope of Sotheby’s International Realty and Gary Reavis of Forward Luxury Estates.

      The two-story traditional structure was previously owned by the estate of late filmmaker Martha De Laurentiis. She and her legendary producer husband Dino De Laurentiis, who died in 2010, paid around $2.8 million for the 1940s spread almost four decades ago. Before that, it was owned by millionaire restaurateur Steve Crane, the former husband of Lana Turner, who sold the place to Where Love Has Gone author Harold Robbins in 1978 for just $850,000.

      Tucked away behind a lengthy gated driveway and a spacious motor court, amid a bluff-top parcel spanning more than eight acres overlooking Benedict Canyon in the Beverly Hills Post Office area, the home offers five bedrooms and nine baths. Roughly 9,000 square feet is introduced via a soaring foyer sporting a sweeping dual staircase.

      Among the other highlights is a living room featuring French doors spilling out to an expansive brick deck holding a pool and a hot tub, as well as a fireside reading nook, a formal dining room, and a wood-clad kitchen outfitted with stone countertops, a breakfast bar, and high-end stainless appliances. An upstairs primary suite comes with a sitting area, a private balcony, dual walk-in closets and baths, a library, and a media room, while the picturesque city-to-ocean-view grounds also contain a kitchen setup, several alfresco lounging and entertaining areas, and a full-sized tennis court.

      The backyard is showcased by a large swimming pool and a vast terrace.

      As first reported by TMZ, the buyer is a non-famous person from outside the country who spotted the listed property on Instagram and reached out to one of the agents. Sources told the entertainment news outlet the buyer was in escrow to buy the house once before but backed out at the last minute. The Dubrows went on to snatch it up, leaving the buyer with some lingering regrets and vowing not to let it slip through their fingers again.

      As for the Dubrows, the couple still owns a ritzy Roberto Cavalli-designed penthouse in the Century City neighborhood of Los Angeles they paid Russian billionaire Sergey Grishin $14 million for in 2022. And though they sold their elaborate Newport Coast mansion known as the Dubrow Chateau three years ago to medical device tycoon Xu Hang for a record-breaking $55 million, they still maintain a residence in Orange County.

      An Eyewear Mogul’s Brutalist Beverly Hills Mansion Lists for $65 Million

      by

      James Jannard bought a two-acre promontory lot in the Trousdale Estates area of Beverly Hills for nearly $20 million in late 2009, two years after he sold the Oakley eyewear brand he founded in the 1970s to Luxottica for $2.1 billion in cash.

      The product designer, inventor, and serial entrepreneur then engaged Los Angeles-based iDGroup to create an avant-garde home that has been called a cross between Southern England’s ancient Stonehenge monument and the Bat Cave. Five years and millions of dollars later, the ultra-bespoke spread was finished, replete with views overlooking the entire Los Angeles Basin.

      Jannard now has his Brutalist-style showpiece up for sale for a second time at a speck under $65 million, about $3 million less than what he wanted when the place first hit the market in June 2024. Aaron Kirman of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California holds the listing.

      Fronted by a gated oval motor court flanked by crenellated concrete formations and a four-car garage, the exposed concrete and aluminum structure offers five bedrooms and nine baths in roughly 18,300 square feet sprawled across two levels.

      Adorning the cavernous interiors are nearly 100 oversized columns, perforated metal ceilings, specially designed acoustic panels, brushed steel details, custom fixtures and furnishings, and retractable walls of glass. Glitzy amenities include an elevator, a movie theater, a gym, a bar, a wine cellar, and a separate guest apartment. Outdoors, the manicured grounds hold an infinity pool with a floating sundeck.

      Some of the more unusual design features include an industrial fireplace and metal soaking tub.

      Upon entry, a sky-lit foyer serves as a display space for a custom motorbike from Confederate Motors. From there, a sunken living area is anchored by an industrial two-way fireplace boasting a floor-to-ceiling mechanical hood, a formal dining room is topped by a futuristic light fixture, and a chrome-clad “show” kitchen is accompanied by a commercial-grade prep kitchen.

      Accessed via a curving hallway, the primary suite boasts a giant metal soaking tub inscribed with a phrase in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Elvish language—an homage to Jannard’s recently sold company Red Digital, which built the high-res cameras used to film The Hobbit franchise.

      Per Wallpaper Magazine, the house has served as an urban pied-à-terre, a meeting spot, and a storage space for the 76-year-old L.A. native. He’s also reportedly owned other properties in Newport Beach, plus two islands in Fiji and another in the Pacific Northwest. Last year, he sold an oceanfront Malibu mansion he picked up in 2012 for $75 million to an unnamed buyer in an off-market deal for a record-breaking $210 million.

      Cary Grant’s Former Beverly Hills Estate Hits the Market for $78 Million

      by

      Almost four decades after Cary Grant passed away at age 82, the Hollywood legend’s final residential landing spot high above Beverly Hills has popped up for sale, asking $77.5 million.

      Property records show the North By Northwest star acquired the nearly three-acre spread from the wife of his late manager and business partner Frank Vincent in the 1940s for roughly $46,000. He lived there until his death in 1986, at which time the estate was inherited by his widow, Barbara. She married real estate investor David Jaynes in 2001, and together the couple went on to raze the outdated 1940s house on the site and replace it with the modern mansion now on the market. Aaron Kirman, Denise Moreno, and Gordon MacGeachy of Christie’s International Real Estate hold the listing.

      The living room opens out to a covered terrace with city skyline views.

      About 95 percent rebuilt from the ground up over six years and completed in 2023, the new residence features seven bedrooms and 13 baths in 15,700 square feet across three levels of minimalist interiors rife with rift-sawn white oak floors and soaring ceilings. Floor-to-ceiling walls of glass and an expansive network of outdoor terraces overlook picturesque city-to-ocean vistas.

      “In the old house, you never truly appreciated the views because a lot of the windows were horizontal,” Barbara told Robb Report in a statement. “Now everything is floor-to-ceiling, so you can really see the extraordinary views, which are breathtaking, particularly at night with all the little sparkling lights.”

      Newly landscaped gardens are laced with white and cream-colored roses.

      Anthony Barcelo/Nils Timm

      Tucked away off Benedict Canyon Drive, the structure is accessed via a lengthy gated driveway that empties out at a spacious motor court and the original three-car garage. A striking entryway leads via double doors into a foyer displaying a floating sculptural staircase topped with a dangling chandelier.

      From there, a fireside living room opens seamlessly to terraced grounds decked out with a 52-foot pool, a lighted tennis court, and numerous spots ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining amid manicured gardens filled with white and cream-colored roses. Other highlights include a formal dining room, plus a sleek Bulthaup-designed kitchen with Gaggenau appliances that Barbara herself helped create because she loves to cook. A posh upstairs primary suite comes with dual walk-in closets and baths.

      The Jaynes hired A/V professionals to design their plush Dolby Atmos theater.

      Rounding it all out are multiple guest suites, a glam room, an art studio, a massage room, a gym, and a climate-controlled wine room that can accommodate up to 640 bottles. Among the couple’s favorite spots are the study with all its “beautiful books” and the Dolby Atmos theater.

      “It’s not just a theater where people put a big screen on the wall and four speakers and drop a projector down from the ceiling,” David said. “We hired a professional company to come in and acoustically design the theater. When I got the details to build this out, it was 17 pages, and I said, ‘My God, this better be better than one of the AMC 14 theaters!”

      As first reported by The Wall Street Journal, the Jaynes have decided to sell because they are planning to downsize. “It doesn’t mean I won’t miss the house,” Barbara said, “but I’m happy to move to a smaller place.”

      Lizzo Relists Her L.A. Home for $14 Million, and It’s About Damn Time

      by

      Now that Lizzo’s had some time to settle into the revamped midcentury digs she picked up from actor Jeremy Renner last November for $12.4 million, the Grammy-winning singer, rapper, and classically trained flutist is doubling down on her efforts to sell the modern Beverly Hills home she’s owned for only three years. After first putting the 90210 property on the market six months ago for $16 million with no takers, the place has resurfaced with a substantially reduced $14 million ask. James Harris and David Parnes of Carolwood Estates share the listing.

      The Detroit-born musician acquired the sleek wood and stone structure from Warner Brothers CEO and co-chairman Aaron Bay-Schuck in 2022 for $15 million, which means she’s looking at a potential million-dollar loss on her initial investment. Previously owned by English pop singer Harry Styles from 2014 to 2016, the house was subsequently demolished and rebuilt by Simo Design and Fischer Construction before going to Bay-Schuck in late 2019 for $11 million.

      A huge two-way fireplace clad in blackened cold-rolled steel separates the living area and kitchen.

      Secluded behind walls and gates in the exclusive Oak Pass Road enclave where past and present celebrity neighbors include Lisa Vanderpump, Jessica Alba, Demi Moore, and Channing Tatum, the treehouse-inspired sanctuary features three bedrooms and five baths in a little more than 5,400 square feet of L-shaped living space on two levels anchored by a central open-air atrium.

      Vast expanses of glass overlook picturesque canyon and hillside vistas from the downward-sloping lot, while swanky perks range from a movie theater and recording studio/office to a gym and wellness area.

      Amenities include a dark-hued recording studio/office and a cozy movie theater.

      Other highlights include a formal dining room, plus an adjacent living area sporting a two-way fireplace that connects on the other side to a sleek eat-in kitchen with oil-finished black walnut cabinetry, an eat-in island and countertops in Cielo quartzite, and top-tier Wolf appliances. Large sliding glass doors open to reveal a covered outdoor lounge area.

      Elsewhere, a nearly 1,000-square-foot primary suite donning a floating soapstone fireplace and concrete soaking tub is suspended above the oak tree-studded grounds, which unfold across a third of an acre and host a 58-foot zero-edge pool with an inset spa. There’s also a fire pit conversation area, as well as several Ipe wood decks for entertaining.

      Inside Taylor Swift’s $150 Million Property Portfolio

      by

      When Taylor Swift isn’t lighting up stadiums or sparking headlines with her professional football-playing boyfriend Travis Kelce, she’s orchestrating a real estate empire that rivals even the most seasoned property moguls. The Grammy-winning songstress, who achieved billionaire status in 2023, largely thanks to the immense success of her blockbuster Eras tour, has crafted an impressive portfolio of residences valued at over $150 million, from the bustling streets of Manhattan to sun-soaked Beverly Hills. 

      Much like her music, Swift’s homes are eclectic, polished, and unmistakably her. There’s the storied Rhode Island mansion that’s played host to her legendary Fourth of July parties—star-studded affairs attended by the likes of Emma Stone, Blake Lively, and Gigi Hadid—a sleek Nashville penthouse nodding to her country roots, and plenty more in between. Though she’s not known to have acquired any homes in the U.S. in a number of years, the Cruel Summer singer reportedly scooped up a home in London recently and has proven she’s equally as adept at navigating the world of ultra-luxury real estate as she is at conquering the charts. Let’s take a closer look at all the homes that anchor Swift’s glamorous yet grounded lifestyle. 

      Hendersonville Hideaway 

      Long before she filled stadiums and dominated the charts, Swift’s real estate journey began in Hendersonville, Tennessee, where her family relocated in 2003 to support her budding music career. In March 2004, they purchased a 6,800-square-foot waterfront home for $790,000. Set on over an acre along the Cumberland River, the spacious abode features four bedrooms and five bathrooms, offering serene views and quiet privacy just outside Nashville. Still owned by Swift’s parents, the property remains a sentimental cornerstone of her early years. 

      Nashville Condo 

      In 2009, Taylor Swift bought her first home, a $1.99 million penthouse in Nashville.

      At just 20 years old, Swift made her first real estate move with the purchase of a luxury penthouse condo in Nashville’s upscale Adelicia building. Picked up in 2009 for $1.99 million, the 4,100-square-foot Music City crash pad features three bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, with soaring floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of Music Row. Swift personally designed the interiors in a whimsically girlie, shabby-chic-meets-Alice-in-Wonderland style. 

      Forest Hills Home 

      It was long before the crossover entertainer added another Southern gem to her real estate portfolio with the $2.5 million purchase of a stately Greek Revival estate in Nashville’s exclusive Forest Hills neighborhood in mid-2011. Set on six manicured acres, the 5,600-square-foot main residence includes four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, complemented by a 2,000-square-foot guesthouse. The elegant interiors feature vaulted ceilings, herringbone wood floors, and marble fireplaces. The grand estate, nicknamed Northumberland, is still owned by Swift and is where her mother Andrea resides. 

      Rhode Island Mansion

      Perched atop the highest point of Watch Hill, Swift’s sprawling Rhode Island estate is one of her most iconic purchases. Hoovered up in April 2013 for $17.75 million, the 11,700-square-foot mansion boasts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, eight fireplaces, and panoramic views of Block Island Sound and Montauk Point. The historic property was once home to eccentric heiress Rebekah Harkness, whom Swift immortalized in her 2020 track The Last Great American Dynasty. Known for hosting legendary Fourth of July parties at the estate, Swift is reportedly undertaking a $1.7 million expansion—a new bedroom suite, additional bathrooms, and a full kitchen renovation—solidifying the estate’s status as a coastal palace befitting pop royalty. 

      New York City Penthouses

      Swift’s Tribeca takeover began in 2014, when she purchased two adjacent penthouses from Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson for a combined $19.95 million. The penthouses—one about 5,900 square feet with seven bedrooms and five baths, the other roughly 2,400 square feet with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths—were seamlessly combined into a sprawling 10-bedroom, 10-bathroom duplex complete with a billiards room and sweeping staircase. In November 2017, Swift expanded her domain, purchasing a 3,500-square-foot, three-bedroom loft on the building’s second floor for $9.75 million from financier Jeremy Phillips.

      Beverly Hills Estate 

      In 2015, Swift bought a historic Georgian Revival mansion in Beverly Hills for $25 million.

      Google Earth

      Having already owned a couple of homes in L.A., in September 2015, Swift set her sights on a storied slice of Hollywood history: an 11,000-square-foot Georgian Revival estate in Beverly Hills formerly owned by legendary film producer Samuel Goldwyn. The $25 million mansion, built in 1934, comprises seven bedrooms and six bathrooms. Swift successfully petitioned the Beverly Hills City Council in 2017 to designate the home as a historic city landmark. Of the three Los Angeles homes Swift has owned over the years, this pedigreed residence stands as the crown jewel.

      Tribeca Townhouse 

      In September 2017, Taylor Swift added a Tribeca trophy to her real estate portfolio, snapping up a historic townhouse for $18 million. The 5,148-square-foot, 27-foot-wide residence—once owned by disgraced French diplomat Dominique Strauss-Kahn—was purchased via Euro Tribeca LLC, a shell company tied to Swift’s longtime real estate attorney. Built in 1915 and masterfully renovated by architect Leopoldo Rosati, the three-story home features four bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, a gym, a spa with a steam bath, radiant-heated limestone floors, and a paparazzi-proof garage. A Japanese glass wall frames the planted terrace, ensuring privacy and serenity in the heart of downtown Manhattan. 

      For So Long, London

      Rumor has it that in 2023, Swift quietly snapped up a £10 million (roughly $13 million) home in one of North London’s most exclusive enclaves. Swift is no stranger to U.K. real estate—she’s previously rented homes in the Cotswolds and famously shared a Primrose Hill townhouse with ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn. But this time, numerous unconfirmed reports say she’s officially pulled the trigger, turning her long-running love affair with the British capital into something a little more permanent. The spread, reportedly once owned by an English politician, is undergoing significant renovations, with planning documents hinting at a private compound that includes a swimming pool and an orangery.
