This $1 Billion Beverly Hills Estate Is Los Angeles’ Most Expensive Ever

Listed for $1 billion, The Mountain of Beverly Hills is officially the most expensive property in the history of Los Angeles (if not the world). Let that soak in. Yes, billion with a “b”—as in Bezos, Buffett and Bloomberg.

If you’re super rich, audacious and aroused enough to place the winning bid, bring your glamping gear. That jaw-dropping price tag is just for the panoramic tract of semi-developed land overlooking Los Angeles. There’s no mansion here yet, so pack your architect too.

But what a small inconvenience compared to what you are getting—the most exclusive promontory real estate in the USA. One-of-a-kind, The Mountain spans a stupefying 157 acres (nearly twice the size of Disneyland), with an über private road that serpentines skyward toward 90210’s largest and loftiest peak, a summit usually visible only by helicopter.

That view is like virtually dropping Disneyland onto Mount Baldy (L.A.’s highest peak), where you’re the only guest at the park (no cars, tourists, hikers nor Mickey Mouse). Of course, the price of admission is still $1 billion, but who’s counting? Did I mention The Mountain costs $1 billion? That’s crazy. Paging Elon Musk—you boldly go where no man has gone before. How about a mountain where you can build a helipad, a Tesla dealership, a space observatory or even a rocket launcher for your Mars missions?

The Mountain’s billion dollar views stretch from downtown L.A. to Catalina Island.
