The 12-bedroom, 24-bath home with a 12-car garage had been on the market for over a month before the Zillow posting. Jennifer & Ben spent months looking for the perfect family home before they pulled the trigger and paid $61 million for the Beverly Hills home in 2023. Jennifer recently filed for divorce, ending their two-year marriage.
Burt Reynolds’ Mountain Home Just Sold
A home in the Blue Ridge Mountains that was once owned by Burt Reynolds just sold for $2.9 million.

According to the listing agent, Burt fell in love with the area while filming Deliverance and subsequently purchased the home. He said that it was his favorite home.
Goodbye Wave House—It Sold for $29.5 Million
Supermodel Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner, brother of Jared Kushner, have purchased one of Malibu’s most famous homes. Designed by surfer-architect Harry Gesner in the early 1960s, the Wave House was designed to complement the ocean’s waves.

Ellen Does Another Real Estate Flip
When Ellen DeGeneres was growing up, her parents always rented and never were able to own their own home. But they often looked at homes for sale, and Ellen dreamed about how it would be to have her own room in one of them. When she became financially successful, Ellen started buying homes and flipping them, over and over, for large profits. She just did it again, selling neighboring properties consisting of a five-bedroom home on 3.44 acres and its next-door 6.58-acre lot in Carpinteria, California for $96 million. She bought the properties for $70 million in 2022.
Kanye Unloads His Malibu Gut Job
In 2021, Kanye West paid $57.3 million for a Malibu oceanfront home designed by architect-to-the-stars Tadao Ando but tore just about everything out of the home, leaving just a bare shell. He listed the home earlier this year for $53 million and quickly reduced the price to $39 million. The home just sold for $21 million.

Clint Eastwood’s Longtime Seaside Home
A Carmel, California home where Clint Eastwood lived when he was the mayor of the town is for sale at $21 million.
