Meet man, owner of mansion bigger than Taj Mahal, it is worth over Rs 9160000000, located in…, owner is…
A huge and famous mansion in Los Angeles has been sold to a new owner. The property is even bigger than the Taj Mahal or the White House. It is around 56,500 square feet in size and is spread over about 5 acres of land. This grand house, known as The Manor or Spelling Manor, was built in the 1990s for TV producer Aaron Spelling, who created popular shows like Charlie’s Angels, Beverly Hills 90210, and Charmed. Over the years, the mansion has had different owners. Now, it belongs to Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google.
The real estate deal was handled by Drew Fenton, head of Carolwood Estates in Beverly Hills. He announced the news on Instagram, saying this sale was one of the most expensive home sales of the year, matching the price of another luxury home sold in Bel-Air earlier in May.
Ex-Google CEO buys famous LA mansion, plans new name and makeover
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and his wife Wendy Schmidt have bought one of Los Angeles’ most well-known mansions for USD 110 million, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. Eric Schmidt, who has a net worth of around USD 25.5 billion, plans to use the home not just for living but also for hosting meetings and events related to local charities and cultural groups in LA.
The huge estate, once known as Spelling Manor or Candyland, was originally built for famous TV producer Aaron Spelling. But now, the Schmidts plan to remodel the mansion to make it more energy-efficient and modern.
They also plan to give it a fresh identity. Instead of its older names, they will simply call it “594,” based on its address: 594 S Mapleton Drive, in the upscale Holmby Hills area.
Eric Schmidt buys luxurious LA mansion at a major discount, here’s what it includes
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and his wife Wendy Schmidt bought a stunning Los Angeles mansion for USD 110 million — but that’s actually a big discount compared to its past prices. The house was originally listed for USD 137.5 million after years of sitting on the market with several price drops.
Back in 2019, British heiress Petra Ecclestone, daughter of Formula One legend Bernie Ecclestone, sold it for around USD 120 million. She had lived there after the death of the original owner, famous TV producer Aaron Spelling.
The house, known as “The Manor,” is massive, with 14 bedrooms and 27 bathrooms. It also includes:
- A two-lane bowling alley
- A wine cellar
- A beauty salon with massage and tanning rooms
- A 20-seat screening room with a 60-foot screen that hides in the floor
- A swimming pool made with 170,000 glass tiles
- A private tennis court
This grand estate, sitting in LA’s Holmby Hills, is now one of the most iconic homes in the city — and the Schmidts got it for far less than its asking price.
