$85 Million Home in Homby Hills, CA



I know it has nothing to do with Dallas real estate but you should know by now I'm fascinated by ridiculous price tags. This home is in Holmby Hills, CA which is some seriously prime real estate and is located on 7 acres. That alone leaves only the Oprah's, Bill Gates', hedge fund big wigs and middle eastern oil princes in terms of who can afford it. Thanks to The Real Estalker we know the now deceased owner was Henry Singleton, who was a co-founder of electronics company Teledyne.

Candy Evans over at D is sure to have some more words for Your Mama as she uses Dallas' name in vane yet again with this statement,
"Your Mama...would never want to live in a big ol' house that looks like a galleria mall in Dallas with a Tiananmen Square sized parking lot out front."
Git'er Candy!

Paris Hilton's Home Up For Sale

So I’m a little behind the times on this one but apparently (I had heard) Paris was cut off financially from her Grandfather due to her “bad behavior” and almost immediately she put her home on the market for $4.25 million. The house boasts 4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms and a separate guest quarter and office. One bedroom was converted into the “ultimate closet.”

Looking at the pictures of all the white and grays and black I guess I expected, oh, I don’t know…a little more pink!

$165 million estate for sale...nuff said

Apparently "The Beverly House Compound," the fabled estate of William Randolph Hearst and Marion Davies in Beverly Hills, CA, has just officially been put on the market for $165 million. Take that Highland Park and your silly little $15 million lot! Here are some stats on this little cottage.
  • Located on 6.5 acres
  • 29 bedrooms
  • 72,000 square feet
  • 2 tennis courts

Ok, I just can't talk about this anymore without my head spinning. The listing broker is Westside Estate Agency Realtors but the listing is not yet on their website. But they did have this nice $75 million, 12,000 square foot "gated beach front compound" available in case you need to scale down. So the commission on $165 million sale would be...????
