What is special about Warner Estate?
After giving several properties a look-over, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and girlfriend Lauren Sanchez have settled on Warner Estate, the most expensive property in Beverly Hills, at $165 million.
The estate was designed for occupation by Warner Brothers executive Jack Warner in the 1930s and owned by media tycoon David Geffen. It features the mansion (13,000 square feet), two guesthouses, a tennis court, a swimming pool, a European garden and several waterfalls, and a nine-hole golf course.
Back in 1990, when it was purchased by Geffen, its value was only $47.5 million; now, it has surpassed the Chartwell estate bought by Lachlan Murdoch in 2019 for $150 million to become the hottest property in California. If you think $165 million is big money even for Jeff Bezos, you wouldn’t be farther from the truth. It is less than 1% of Bezos’ net worth of $131.9 billion.
Warner Estate is only one of several prime properties owned by Bezos. Among them are three apartments in New York worth $80 million, an undeveloped plot in LA worth $90 million, and two other homes in Beverly Hills worth $37 million.
