Beverly Hills Estates describes it as “a true generational estate that could never be replicated, and the most valuable residential property in the Western United States.”
The main residence features 10 family bedrooms and 13 staff bedrooms, while the guest house has 6 guest bedrooms and 10 staff bedrooms, per the listing.
As well as overlooking the prestigious Bel Air Country Club, the mansion has wellness and fitness amenities “that rival the world's finest destinations,” according to the listing.
Photos show features a tennis court, a spa with hot and cold plunge pools, a sauna, massage suites and a salon.
Even the guesthouse has one of the most breathtaking views, with an outdoor pool and several sun loungers to take in the scenery.
The interior has arched marble hallways and opulent gold walls in the 12 butler's pantries. The chef’s kitchen alone is more than 3,000 square feet.

This is truly a half-billion investment that the family has put into the estate.”
