$250 million home at 924 Bel Air, 718 Nimes for sale, Bruce Makowsky - Mary Cummins Real Estate Appraiser

$250 million, $250,000,000, 924 Bel Air, 718 Nimes, Los Angeles Bel Air, 90077, California, Bruce Makowsky, BAM luxury group, most expensive home, united states

DISCLAIMER: The home and land are not for sale for $250,000,000. The $250,000,000 gets you the home, land and all contents, i.e. furniture, art, cars... Some journalists wrote articles saying that homes are selling for $250 million in Bel Air. No, they are not. The home and land by itself would sell for a lot less. Consider they bought the property which already had a large home on it for $11M in 2013. It had 4+8 6,898 sf home with sauna, library, media, projection, maid rooms, pool, 4 fire places, built in 1926 with a killer view.

"It has all the hallmarks of a Big Deal house: 38,000 square feet spread across four floors, 12 bedrooms, 21 bathrooms, three kitchens, a 40-seat movie theater, an infinity pool with a swim-up bar and 270-degree hilltop views from downtown to the ocean.

The 60-year-old lives in a 27,000-square-foot Beverly Park mansion once leased by the late pop icon Prince and made his fortune selling handbags on QVC before turning to real estate six years ago. He’s built nine homes so far and furnishes them to reflect his own extravagant travels, interests and tastes."

"Real estate developer Bruce Makowsky (of BAM Luxury Group) largely builds properties for billionaire buyers, and he designed this home "on spec"—without a buyer in mind—but with the confidence that it would inevitably entice another billionaire. His assurance wasn’t overshot, as the house has already attracted more than half a dozen potential buyers after less than a day on the public market."

In an article Bruce Makowsky said that yachts where rich people live for maybe two weeks a year cost $300M, $500M. Why wouldn't rich people want to spend even more on their home where they list the rest of the year. I actually thought that same thought 20 years ago. I was amazed the super rich didn't build or buy super opulent compounds. And today they do. The home behind my place is 80,000 sf with every imaginable amenity you could ever want.

More photos of the property.

Dr Dre, Andre Romelle Young, Beats, Apple, 9161 Oriole, mansion, for sale, $35,000,000, billionaire

Dr Dre's home located in "Bird Land" is on the market for $35,000,000. Dr Dre (real name Andre Romelle Young) recently dropped $40 million on the four-acre Brentwood estate of supermodel and actress Gisele Bundchen and her husband, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. The rapper closed on that compound two days after Apple Inc. officially announced it had acquired Beats, the company he co-founded with Interscope Geffen A&M Chairman Jimmy Iovine, for $3 billion.

In addition to co-founding Beats, Dr. Dre, 49, is the founder and chief executive of Aftermath Entertainment.
The Grammy winner and record producer bought the property in 2011 for $15.4 million. He has worked with Snoop Dogg, Eminem and 50 Cent, among others.

The contemporary estate he just listed has 9,696 square feet of living space and includes a library/media room, a den, a wine cellar, six bedrooms and nine bathrooms.There's a guesthouse and a swimming pool on the three-quarter-acre lot, which has 300-degree views of the city, mountains and ocean. 9161 Oriole built in 1951 on the bird streets of West Hollywood Hills is located on a .71 acres. It sold back in 2011 for $15,400,000 and has been extensively remodeled and upgraded.

Fleur de Lys 350 N Carolwood, Los Angeles, CA 90077 sells for $102,000,000. Mary Cummins, real estate appraiser Los Angeles

UPDATE: It actually sold for $88M. ~~Fleur de Lys at 350 N Carolwood, Los Angeles, CA 90077 just sold for all cash for $102,000,000.~~ This home is 1/4 mile from my house but couldn't be more different. Here are some photos from the 2007, 2011 and 2014 listings. Obviously buyers needed to pre-qualify just to look at the home.

The 50,000 sf home was sold by socialite Suzanne Saperstein who built it in 2002 with her then husband, Metro Networks founder David Saperstein. They divorced three years after work was finished, and she first listed property in 2007 just as the Great Recession took hold. It was relisted, expired then relisted just now and sold in four days. The market has changed dramatically.

12 bedrooms, 15 baths on rare flat 4.6 acres in prime Platinum Triangle. The Platinum Triangle consists of very large, luxury homes on large lots above Sunset in Holmby Hills, Bel-Air and Beverly Hills. This area has the most expensive homes in the area for this reason. They are much more expensive than Beverly Hills. It's listed as Beverly Crest but it's too low on the hill to actually be Beverly Crest. Beverly Crest was the name of a development on Mulholland near Coldwater Canyon in Beverly Hills 90210 post office. As a real estate appraiser, broker for over 30 years there are many little niche areas in this area because of the topography, view, lot size and zoning.

Mary Cummins, Real Estate Appraiser, Los Angeles, California, 350 N Carolwood, Fleur de Lys, $102,000,000

"Fleur de Lys on L.A.’s Westside has changed hands for $102 million, making it the highest-priced home sale ever recorded in L.A. County. Three billionaires engaged in a bidding war for the nearly five-acre trophy estate, the winner closing in 10 days in an all-cash deal that included antique furnishings.

The 50,000-square-foot residence was sold by socialite Suzanne Saperstein, who had the mansion custom built in 2002 with her then husband, Metro Networks founder David Saperstein. They divorced three years after work was finished, and she first listed property in 2007 just as the Great Recession was taking hold.

The buyer of Fleur de Lys was initially identified as a French billionaire, but a copy of the grant deed obtained by The Times shows the taxes will be mailed to Milken Institute in Santa Monica. The nonpartisan think tank is chaired by businessman, philanthropist and onetime “junk bond king” Michael Milken.

The taxes go to the law firm of Maron & Sandler also located at the Milken Institute. Richard Sandler has represented Milken in the past. A representative for Milken denied that Milken or the Milken Institute purchased the property, which was taken in the name of a limited liability company.

The sale does not top the U.S. record set last year when a mansion on nine acres in the Northern California community of Woodside went for $117.5 million. That deal's buyer and seller were business partners and may have included other considerations.

The transaction does beats the long-held local record established in 2000 when Dole Food Co. billionaire David Murdock sold a Bel-Air property to financial executive Gary Winnick in a $94-million deal that involved a parcel of land in trade.

This affluent Westside stretch of Holmby Hills, Bel-Air and Beverly Hills known as the Platinum Triangle for its wealth and top-dollar estate properties was ripe for a home sale of such magnitude.
The ranks of the ultra-wealthy continue to grow, and L.A. prices seems like bargains compared with other major cities -- particularly to foreign buyers, real estate experts say. And there are only so many mega-estates to choose from.

“This is a very thin market, in a similar vein to an art market,” said economist Gary Painter, director of research for USC’s Lusk Center for Real Estate. “There’s only one of that type.”

Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency, who represented Saperstein in the sale, echoed that sentiment. “This is one of the greatest estates in Los Angeles, if not the country.”

Completed in 2002, the compound stretching between Carolwood and Angelo drives was years in the making. Purchases of the adjacent parcels that make up the estate took five years and an additional six years were spent in various stages of construction, from groundbreaking to fruition.

Wrought-iron gates open to a 600-foot-long tree-lined driveway that leads to a cobblestone courtyard in front of the house. Just inside the front door is a marbled-floored two-story entry hall topped by a gold-leaf paneled ceiling. A pair of staircases lead upstairs, and a doorway flanked by columns looks out to the back yard and gardens.

Inspired by Vaux-le-Vicomte, a palace outside Paris, the mansion has also been likened to miniature Versailles surrounded by formal gardens, mature trees and a soccer-field size expanse of lawn. The 4.6 acres of grounds include two motor courts, a swimming pool and spa complex and a tennis court.
Imported limestone blocks enclose a massive steel frame, set on rollers in the foundation, to safeguard the structure in an earthquake. Interior spaces include a ballroom for parties of 500, a two-story wood paneled library, a movie theater, a music room, a dozen bedrooms and 15 bathrooms.

Services spaces include a commercial kitchen, a room for the cutlery and dishes, a butler’s pantry, a staff dining room, staff offices and a security center.

The 3,000-square-foot wine cellar and tasting room is larger than most American houses, as is the manager’s house.

Those who have never stepped foot in the palatial estate may have had an unknowing glimpse on television or at the movies. Parts of it were used for the ABC drama “Big Shots” (2007-08), Audi commercials during the 2008 Super Bowl, and the 2011 film “The Green Hornet.”

Others were able to purchase a piece of the estate two years ago when Sotheby’s auctioned some of Saperstein’s antique furniture. The more than $8 million in sales was topped by a 21-light German chandelier from the 1700s that brought about $602,500.

Although the neighborhood containing Fleur de Lys is generally accepted as Holmby Hills, the L.A. Times Mapping Database considers it to be Beverly Crest.

Fred Bernstein of Westside Estate Agency represented the buyer, who beat out billionaires from England and China."
