Stars Make Big Moves: The Top Celebrity Real Estate Deals of 2022

Russell Westbrook, point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, dropped $37 million on a lavish new home in the city’s Brentwood neighborhood, directly across the street from his teammate LeBron James. He quietly bought the property in an off-market deal from Formula 1 racing heiress Petra Ecclestone. When Ms. Ecclestone bought the home in 2019 for $22.7 million, Mansion Global wrote that the eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom pad sat on a half-acre lot with canyon views and has a home theater, a wine cellar and a spa. Outside there is a four-car garage and a private pool. [Source: TRD]

A-list DJ Calvin Harris gave his Beverly Hills compound another spin on the sales market, putting the lavish home back up for grabs for $25 million. There are five separate structures that make up the property—including the main house, a two-story guest house and a fully-equipped gym—which collectively span more than 16,000 square feet.  The Scottish hitmaker left his mark all over the home, having transformed the guest house into two state-of-the-art recording studios.

After more than a decade, actor Hugh Jackman listed his longtime New York City apartment for $38.9 million.  Located in a boutique condo building in the West Village, the 11,000-square-foot home occupies the eighth, ninth and 10th floors of the building, and is the only individual apartment to have also been designed by the building’s architect, Richard Meier.  The apartment has wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Hudson River, with views maximized by an enormous double-height great room, per listing photos.

Music mogul Dr. Dre decided he was ready to bid adieu to Malibu after listing his longtime home in the affluent coastal California enclave for $20 million.  The three-story oceanfront spread has been a part of the hip-hop mega-producer’s property portfolio for 22 years. Across its more than 8,800 square feet of living space, the glass-covered house is flooded with light, and, like any beach house worth its multimillion dollar price tag, has far reaching views across the ocean.

Earlier this month, Mark Wahlberg slashed the price of his more than 30,000-square-foot Beverly Hills, California, megamansion to $79.5 million, an $8 million discount from the $87.5 million he originally asked.  The 12-bedroom and 20-bathroom home has a double-height foyer, formal living and dining rooms, an eat-in kitchen with two islands, a wood-paneled library, a home theater, a wet bar, a wine cellar and a tasting room. There’s plenty of sports-related amenities, too, including a professional-style gym, a five-hole golf course, a court for basketball or tennis, a grotto pool and a skate park. [Source: TRD]
