This massive mansion in Los Angeles just hit the market for $195 million after a divorce between a billionaire hotel tycoon and his wife. The place is HUGE—16 bedrooms, an infinity pool, 18 fireplaces, tennis court, guest house, and even a wine cellar! It’s insane. But I wonder, who’s even gonna buy this thing? Here’s more about it if you’re curious: Los Angeles’ most expensive mansion hits market amid divorce fallout. What do you all think? Is it just too much, or someone’s dream home?
Sounds like a perfect little starter home . Maybe they’ll knock off a few million if you waive the inspections!

Right?! Who wouldn’t want 18 fireplaces to keep things cozy in LA’s ‘freezing’ weather lol.

Maybe 17 fireplaces are being used, so the 18th one is a must! You never know!
I heard properties like this often sell for way less. You could probably snag it for $150M or less.

Yeah, they tend to sit for a while too. Even billionaires like to bargain .
18 fireplaces though? That seems…excessive. Do they even allow burning wood in LA anymore?

Pretty sure most of them are gas at this point. No way they’re chopping wood for all those fireplaces lol.

Yeah, gas fireplaces are pretty common in LA now, especially in these big mansions.
It’s always interesting when someone actually lives in a place like this instead of it just sitting empty, bought by a foreign investor. Makes me wonder how many mega-mansions in LA are just sitting vacant.
@Vail
That’s a great point! So many of these homes are just investment properties, never even lived in.
I wonder how long it’ll take to sell. There’s gotta be a tiny pool of buyers who can actually afford it.

Exactly. Even among billionaires, not everyone wants to drop $195M on a house.

Plus, if you’re that rich, wouldn’t you just build your own custom home instead of buying someone else’s?
