This week in celebrity real estate transactions, Keke Palmer put her starter house in Los Angeles up for sale, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen picked up a vacation getaway in Lake Arrowhead, and word on the street is Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have settled into an architecturally pedigreed spread in Beverly Hills.

Back in early 2007, shortly after she filed for divorce from Kevin Federline after three years of marriage, Britney Spears doled out nearly $6.8 million for a Mediterranean-style villa high in the mountains above Beverly Hills. For the next few weeks or so, the residence served as ground zero for many headline-making moments in the pop superstar’s life, from shaving her head to attacking a paparazzo’s car with an umbrella. Though she owned it for a number of years, she reportedly only lived there a short time before flipping it back on the market and permanently decamping to the San Fernando Valley in 2009.
The 2001-built estate has since changed hands a few times, first in 2012 when Australian venture capitalist Jeff Friedmann picked it up for just under $4.3 million, a nearly $2.5 million loss for Spears, and most recently in spring 2022 for roughly $6.6 million. Now the 90210 spread in the exclusive guard-gated enclave of The Summit has just popped up for sale again, this time for a speck under $8 million. The listing is held by Ben Salem of Compass.

Featuring almost 7,500 square feet of recently renovated living space, with six bedrooms and seven baths filtered across two levels, the creamy stucco and terracotta-roof structure is tucked away behind hedges and trees on a cul-de-sac, where a driveway opens to a motor court and an attached three-car garage.
Once inside, a double-height, dance-worthy foyer topped with a chandelier flows via patterned stone floors to a soaring living room boasting an oversized fireplace flanked by bookshelves. A wide archway leads to a formal dining room with French doors spilling out to a patio, while a fireside family room with a wet bar connects to a kitchen outfitted with granite countertops, dual islands, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and a windowed breakfast nook.

In addition to a primary suite flaunting a covered balcony, there’s also a library/office and a soundproof music studio that doubles as a screening room. Topping it all off is the bougainvillea- and palm-laced backyard, which hosts a built-in barbecue, a fire pit, and a saltwater pool with a Baja shelf and a raised spa.

Back in 2021, around three months after Will Arnett sold a custom-built modular abode in Los Angeles to The Vampire Diaries star Claire Holt and her private equity guru husband Andrew Joblon for around $8 million, the Canadian-American actor, comedian, and podcast host doled out $16.4 million for an all-new spec home. Now he’s ready to let that place go, asking $22.5 million for the stylish modern farmhouse-style structure just beyond the Beverly Hills city limits and around the corner from Jeff Bezos’s $165 million estate.
Nestled amid an almost half-acre parcel in the Benedict Canyon area and secured by gates and a striking 25-foot exposed brick entry wall, the sleek house has a two-tone bleached wood and brick exterior and is fronted by a three-car garage and an expansive cobblestone motor court. Inside, six bedrooms and eight baths are spread across 10,300 square feet of Arnett-customized living space boasting hardwood floors, high beamed ceilings, steel-framed windows, and wood and brick accent walls. Vast walls of glass open seamlessly to the outdoors from almost every room.
The elegantly appointed kitchen is outfitted with an eat-in island and a breakfast nook.

The kitchen is one of the most visually dramatic spaces, with a marble backsplash that stretches to the ceiling and a top-tier collection of Wolf appliances. Adjoining the space are a walk-in pantry and a breakfast nook, plus a formal dining room, a family room, and an office lined with built-in shelving. A bespoke sculptural staircase leads upstairs, where a sumptuous primary suite awaits with a fireside seating area, a walk-in closet, and a massive bath sporting veined-marble walls.
Specifically geared toward relaxing and entertaining, the lower level is highlighted by a game room and a plush screening room that seats at least 10. Elsewhere is a professional sound booth that Arnett added for his voice-over and podcast work, as well as a steam shower-equipped gym. Additional amenities can be found outdoors on the sloping grounds, where a sparkling plunge pool is the ideal spot to cool off and several lounge areas are warmed by cozy fire pits.

The 54-year-old Arrested Development and BoJack Horseman actor, who is also known for voicing Batman for The Lego Movie franchise and co-hosting the SmartLess podcast on SiriusXM with fellow actors Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes, is selling because he has been spending more time in New York. According to The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the listing held by Richard Ehrlich of Carolwood Estates, “he plans to be more bicoastal and wants a smaller footprint in California.”

Now that Steve Wynn and his wife Andrea Hissom have scooped up a $12.9 million property in Florida’s tony West Palm Beach enclave near Mar-a-Lago, with plans to raze the existing house to make way for a larger and more modern mansion, the former Las Vegas casino mogul is doubling down on his efforts to sell a particularly lavish Beverly Hills mega-mansion he’s owned for nearly a decade.
Almost five years after the palatial property first splashed onto the market with an ambitious $135 million ask, it’s once again come up for grabs. And in what could only be described as a case of déjà vu, the estate is being offered for the same exact $75 million Wynn was seeking in early 2024 before the price jumped to $85 million later that year .
“To find 2.7 acres within the city of Beverly Hills is very rare, so the seller tested the market at the end of 2020 at $135 million and in fact received a significant offer,” says Leonard Rabinowitz of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California, who currently holds the listing. “However, they had not found a replacement property and therefore were not particularly motivated. They have since found a new waterfront property and are quite motivated, hence the reduction.”

Originally built and crafted by architect William Hablinski in the 1990s for Guess co-founder Maurice Marciano, the 90210 residence was purchased by Wynn in 2015 for around $48 million and subsequently underwent a multimillion-dollar remodel. Nestled behind gates off Benedict Canyon Drive, the home features 11 bedrooms and 13 baths in 27,000-plus square feet of Roger Thomas-designed living space decked out with luxe amenities ranging from a professional-grade movie theater and a spa suite to a gym and a wine room.
Within the multi-level residence is a double-height entry foyer that flows to a crimson-hued reception room with a wet bar, along with an opulent living room overlooking city lights views and a fireside dining room with access to a covered terrace that’s ideal for alfresco entertaining. A posh primary suite sports a private office and dual baths, closets, and dressing rooms. Additional sleeping quarters include four en suite guest bedrooms, a guest lanai suite with its own kitchen and living room, three staff bedrooms with a shared kitchen, and two security team bedrooms with a shared kitchenette.

Almost 10 years after Jackie Collins succumbed to breast cancer at age 77, a Beverly Hills trophy estate best known as the longtime home of the bestselling British romance novelist and younger sister of actress Dame Joan Collins has popped up for sale with a substantial $66 million price tag. The listing is held by Richard Maslan and Susan Smith of Carolwood Estates.
Custom-built for the “Hollywood Wives” writer and her second husband, nightclub owner and theater and film producer Oscar Lerman, in collaboration with noted architect Ardie Tavangarian, the residence was inspired by the clean lines and pop-art color blocking of David Hockney’s pool painting titled “A Bigger Splash.” It was completed in the early 1990s, shortly before Lerman died from prostate cancer.

Upon the death of Collins in 2015, her three daughters inherited the estate. The property sold the following year for $21 million to real estate investor Ben Nehmadi and his wife Bita, who spent five years and around $25 million gut-renovating the premises, according to The Wall Street Journal. The couple also paid an additional $9 million in an off-market deal for a neighboring house also owned by Collins’s estate. It had long been leased by actor Al Pacino and is now on the market separately for $16 million.
Tucked away behind walls and gates in 90210’s desirable Flats neighborhood, the property includes a modern mansion and a spacious guesthouse spread across just under an acre of land facing the Hollywood Hills. There is a total of seven bedrooms and 14 baths in roughly 21,000 square feet of Gavin Brodin-designed living space punctuated with Italian marble and bespoke woodwork.
The home’s main living area boasts a marble fireplace, seated wet bar and access to the outdoors.

After nearly two years on and off the housing market at $88 million, Aubrey “Drake” Graham has now decided to hoist the palatial Beverly Hills estate he acquired from English pop singer Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field up for rent, asking a hefty $250,000 per month. The listing is shared by Branden and Rayni Williams of The Beverly Hills Estates and Marc Bretter of Maywood Property Group.
Records show the Canadian music superstar paid $75 million for the property back in spring 2022, before promptly flipping it back up for sale a short year or so later with a $13 million jump in price. He subsequently removed and then relisted the place in early 2024 for the exact same price, and it remains for sale should a deep-pocketed buyer decide to come calling.

Nestled beyond a secluded cul-de-sac and lengthy gated driveway, amid a nearly 20-acre parcel high in the hills above Benedict Canyon, the Tuscan-style spread was originally built in 2001 and fashioned by KAA Design Group for Guess co-founder Armand Marciano.

Glitzy amenities range from an elevator, a wine cellar, and a game room to a gym and an 11-car garage.
Other highlights include a double-height foyer boasting a curving iron-railed staircase topped by a striking cubist chandelier. Not one but two fireplaces and a wet bar grace the principal living room that opens onto an expansive covered loggia. There’s also a library, a formal dining room, and a gourmet kitchen outfitted with dual islands, top-tier appliances, and a breakfast nook. A sumptuous primary retreat comes with a fireplace, a private balcony, and a salon-like bath that’s bigger than some houses.

And, in late 2023, he also doled out $15 million for a luxury resort property in the Texas city of Brenham, between Austin and Houston.

A little more than three years after he died from cancer at age 58, the Beverly Hills home of longtime Hasbro chairman and CEO Brian Goldner has popped up for sale, asking $27 million. The listing is held by Antonio Bruno of Sotheby’s International Realty-Beverly Hills Brokerage and Tomer Fridman of Christie’s International Real Estate.
Records show Goldner—best known as a visionary who transformed the Rhode Island-based maker of toys and games into an entertainment company with its own TV and movie studio during his lengthy 16-year tenure—and his wife Barbara paid around $18 million for the 1980s residence in 2020, shortly before he passed away in October 2021. Subsequently reimagined and renovated by noted Obama White House designer Michael S. Smith, the traditional-style home features five bedrooms and eight baths in almost 7,500 square feet of sumptuous living space spanning two levels.

Barely three months after Julie Wainwright put her strikingly modern residence in a prime pocket of Beverly Hills up for sale at nearly $12 million, the founder and former CEO of The RealReal has already offloaded the property. Records show the Steve Hermann-designed home traded hands for a discounted $10.7 million, which is still around a million dollars more than she paid Tony & Guy co-founder Bruno Mascolo for the place in 2021. Compass real estate broker and Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles star Josh Flagg repped both sides of the transaction, describing it as “hands down the best deal in Trousdale Estates.”
Built in 2009 and fully customized to suit Wainwright’s tastes during her tenure, the gated architectural-style structure is touted in the listing as having a “harmonious blend of elevated luxury”—from the alluring courtyard punctuated by terrazzo fountains to the chic interiors offering 4,500 square feet of single-level living space boasting vast expanses of glass providing seamless indoor-outdoor environs and sweeping city views from almost every vantage point.

An internet and tech pioneer, Wainwright launched the online video site Reel.com in 1997 and later took the reins as CEO of Pets.com. After the tech bubble burst, the site collapsed under crippling $300 million debt soon after going public in 2000. The Purdue graduate was active in numerous other online startups before 2011, when she founded The RealReal. Though she stepped down as CEO in 2022, the company is still one of the world’s largest online marketplaces for the resale of authenticated luxury goods, with more than 27 million members and 19 retail sites nationwide.
Besides her just-sold Beverly Hills digs, Wainwright, who has a reported $25 million net worth, also owns a $6.8 million condo on a high floor of a posh tower on the edge of New York City’s Financial District, near City Hall.

Now that Lizzo has doled out $12.4 million for actor Jeremy Renner’s longtime midcentury digs in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, the Grammy-winning singer, rapper, and classically trained flutist has decided to put her other home that’s tucked away in a celeb-favored enclave in the mountains above Beverly Hills on the market. The ask is an impressive $16 million, which is a whopping million dollars more than she paid for the place a little more than two years ago.
Records show the Detroit-born musician acquired the modern spread from Warner Brothers CEO and co-chairman Aaron Bay-Schuck in spring 2022 for $15 million. Sited on a third of an acre in an exclusive gated community where nearby neighbors include Lisa Vanderpump, Jessica Alba, and Demi Moore, the property was previously owned by English pop singer Harry Styles from 2014 to 2016. Subsequently demolished and rebuilt by Simo Design and Fischer Construction, the sleek wood and stone structure ultimately sold to Bay-Schuck in late 2019 for $11 million.
Secluded behind walls and gates, the two-story residence has three bedrooms and five baths in roughly 5,400 square feet of L-shaped living space centered around an open-air atrium. Floor-to-ceiling walls of glass frame sweeping canyon and hillside views, with glitzy amenities encompassing a gym and wellness area, as well as a movie theater and a studio/office.
