Paris Hilton Buys Wahlberg’s LA Mansion for $63 Million

By Kimberly Ridley

Paris Hilton is a cultural institution all to herself. Famous for being famous, the Hilton Hotels heiress was the ultimate Millennial It Girl. Darling of the paparazzi, the socialite was a fixture at LA nightclubs before she rose to international stardom with her reality show The Simple Life, one of the first of its kind. Controversial and ubiquitous, her antics were some of the most-covered topics of the 2000s. She parlayed her fame into numerous ventures, including a perfume line, several boutiques, and a beach club in the Philippines. She currently works as a DJ in some of the world’s biggest clubs, pulling in up to $350,000 an hour. 

Mark Wahlberg grew up rough in Boston, doing time for a felony before hitting it big as a rapper and then a movie star. Acclaimed for his nuanced work in Boogie Nights, he went on to headline big-budget action movies like Planet of the Apes and The Italian Job. Nominated for multiple Academy Awards, he has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 

With Paris Hilton’s latest purchase, a spectacular residence in LA’s ultra-exclusive Beverly Park neighborhood will be forever connected to both stars. Mark sold the home in 2023 for $55 million. Paris and her husband, Carter Reum, who lost their previous home in the recent Palisades fire, snapped it up for $63 million. 

The epic home is a private palace with over 30,000 square feet, twelve bedrooms, and a whopping twenty baths. A commanding presence, the home features stone fountains, stately columns, and soaring ceilings. Enter through the dramatic double staircase to find a mansion that oozes class. Hardwood floors, intricate mouldings, elaborate wrought iron, and marble statement pieces are just a few of the mansion’s luxurious details. Besides the gorgeous kitchen, sumptuous living room, and elegant formal dining room, the home includes amenities like a two-story library, a huge professional-grade gym, a plush home theater, and a wine and cigar cellar. 

Outside, live the private country club life with a truly spectacular pool and sports complex on a giant six-acre lot.  The pool is beautifully designed with stone walkways and waterfalls, creating a peaceful atmosphere on the spacious patio, which has multiple levels, a fire pit, and a shaded alcove. The special court has been designed to accommodate multiple sports, from pickleball to basketball. Behind the courts, find a five-hole golf course and driving range. Nestled in a private valley, the home is shielded by ridgelines and mature trees, offering true seclusion in the heart of LA’s sprawling metropolis. 

Beverly Park is a gated community near Beverly Hills, featuring a golf course, a country club, and rules that require every house to be over 5,000 square feet. It is the highest-earning neighborhood in Los Angeles, with a mean household income of over $500,000. Specially curated for the rich and famous, it is home to such luminaries as Rod Stewart, Adele, Eddie Murphy, Denzel Washington, and Magic Johnson.
