This year, the most expensive homes sold in L.A. County didn’t manage to surpass the record $100 million price tag fetched by the iconic Playboy Mansion in 2016. However, that doesn’t mean that some luxury homes didn’t trade for dazzling amounts in 2017.
The first property on our list sold for $88,000,000 and is, according to Curbed LA, home to none other than pop culture idols Beyoncé and Jay-Z. The power couple closed the deal on the massive 82,050-square-foot home at 454 Cuesta Way in August. The impressive mansion comprises six structures, complete with a 15-car garage, four swimming pools, and a helipad.
The second most expensive sale on our list was that of David Geffen’s Carbon Beach compound, which changed hands in May for $85,000,000. The Malibu beachfront home at 22108 Pacific Coast Highway spreads across 22,967 square feet, and has its own theater, gym, and swimming pool with spa.
A legendary old-Hollywood estate also made it into the top 10 this year. Famous for hosting lavish parties, the home belonged to former Hollywood socialite Edie Goetz, and sold in March for $40,800,000, landing the sixth spot on our list.
