Inside George Lucas’s $260 Million-Plus Property Portfolio
George Lucas, the legendary filmmaker behind Star Wars, revolutionized Hollywood with his imaginative storytelling, pioneering special effects, and bold approach to franchise filmmaking. From his early days as a student at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts to the global phenomenon of Indiana Jones, Lucas has consistently pushed the boundaries of cinema, earning him an Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2005, among numerous other accolades.
After selling his Lucasfilm production company to Disney for $4.1 billion in 2012, Lucas largely stepped away from filmmaking, redirecting his energy toward philanthropy, education, and art. His fortune, estimated at $5.5 billion, has enabled him to pursue these passions on a global scale. A committed supporter of education, Lucas signed the Giving Pledge in 2010, promising to donate the majority of his wealth to charitable causes. His George Lucas Family Foundation, valued at over $1 billion, has become a major force in improving educational opportunities, particularly in science, technology, and engineering.
Lucas is also a devoted collector and patron of the arts. Together with his wife, Mellody Hobson, he founded the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles, reportedly set to open in September 2026. The 100,000-square-foot museum will showcase works from his personal collection, including illustrations, paintings, comics, and film memorabilia, offering the public a rare glimpse into the creative worlds that inspired a generation of storytelling.
Beyond his professional and philanthropic pursuits, Lucas’s interests extend to a thoughtfully curated portfolio of homes spanning the U.S. and abroad. His holdings range from the sprawling Skywalker Ranch in Marin County to side-by-side retreats in Carpinteria, multi-parcel compounds in San Anselmo, a historic Bel Air mansion, a record-setting Chicago penthouse, a winery in France, and a trophy London residence. Below, we’re taking a look at all the places Lucas calls home.
