Billionaire is a private residence in the Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, United States. [1] [2]
The previous home occupying the lot was owned by Hollywood star Judy Garland until 1967. [3] [4] The property was acquired by Bruce Makowsky in May 2012, for US$7.9 million. [5] The structure was built in four years by 250 workers. [6]
Listed in January 2017 at US$250 million, Billionaire was the most expensive house listed for sale at that time in the US. In April 2018 it was relisted for $188 million. In January 2019, its price was cut again to $150 million. It surpassed the Gemini mansion in Manalapan, Florida that was listed at $190 million at the time. The most expensive home ever sold in Los Angeles County was the Playboy Mansion at $100 million, while the record sale in the state of California was $117.5 million. [6] [7] At that time, the most expensive home ever sold in the US was a $147 million East Hampton mansion. [7] In October 2019, the house sold for $94 million. [8]
The house at 924 Bel Air Road consists of 38,000 square feet (3,500 m2) of living space on four levels. It has 12 bedrooms: two master suites and ten large guest suites. [5] [9] The interior contains 21 bathrooms adorned with 50 types of Italian marble, five bars, three kitchens, three dining areas, a fitness center, a wellness spa, a 4-lane bowling alley, a $12,000 glass pool table, and a 360-inch TV, likely the largest residential television set. [5] [9] [10] The $2 million, 40-seat Dolby Atmos James Bond-themed theater has a 22-foot screen, 57 speakers, and a 4k projector with 7,000 pre-loaded movies. [5] [9] Situated on a 1.08-acre lot, the exterior of the home features 17,000 square feet (1,600 m2) of outdoor deck space, a $2 million outdoor hydraulic retractable theater screen measuring 18 feet by 12 feet, an 85-foot glass tile infinity pool with a swim-up bar, and a helipad with an inoperable Airwolf [1] [5] [11] replica that the developer calls a "sculpture." [11] The home offers a 270-degree view of Los Angeles from the San Gabriel Mountains to the Pacific Ocean in Malibu. [2] [9]
There are two wine cellars, two commercial elevators lined in alligator skin, a $2 million polished steel staircase, a $500,000 set of moving Seven Dwarfs images, a $200,000 wall of candy dispensers, Dom Pérignon-filled fire extinguishers, over 130 works of art (including photographs by Timothy White and a $1 million sculpture by Liao Yibai), and a seven-person full-time staff with separate living quarters. [2] [5] [6] [9] [11] [12] The residence includes an auto gallery with US$30 million in luxury vehicles, including Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Bentleys, a Rolls-Royce, a Bugatti Veyron, ten motorcycles, a one-of-a-kind Pagani Huayra worth more than $2 million, and a 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540K worth in excess of $15 million.
