You Can Now Buy Your Own Mountain in Beverly Hills — If You Have a Spare $1 Billion!

-

Forget Million Dollar Listing, now there is a billion dollar listing.

On Monday, a 157-acre mass of land sitting atop a mountain in Beverly Hills hit the market for a staggering $1 billion.

The compound, which is the highest point in the 90210 zip code, is so large, it can fit a Disneyland park and still have 57 acres left over.

Dubbed “The Mountain”, the listing describes visiting the giant piece of land as a “god-like experience”

“The Mountain” boasts views of Downtown LA, Catalina Island, and Santa Monica but promises that its future owner can be at the Beverly Hills Hotel and or shopping Rodeo Drive within 5 minutes.

The property is divided into 17 parcels of land, with six ready-to-build lots. The very lucky — and wealthy —buyer will be able to build three 500,000 square feet of buildings and never have to worry about neighbors.

This means this will not be a big housing estate but rather just a few large compounds — with the listing even suggesting the new owner builds their own soccer field, amphitheater, helipad, or a polo field — depending on their tastes.

“This is the only opportunity to own your own mountain that looks down at all of Los Angeles,” Aaron Kirman, President of Pacific Union Real Estate said in a statement. “Our likely buyer for this property is an individual who wants to build his or her own compound.”

“To be able to claim ownership of the largest property at the highest point in all of Los Angeles, will make the buyer the most prestigious billionaire overnight,” Kirman added.

Previous owners include Princess Shams Pahlavia and talk show host Merv Griffin, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The property previous came up for sale in an off-market listing that was fraught with legal battles and infighting which eventually saw the property no longer be available.

The Circle: Meet the Real "Emily" - aka Jack's Catfish Persona

-

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

-

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
