Much of the structure is on piers and off the ground.
105,000 square feet, 21 bedrooms, 45.5 bathrooms $126 million
Despite the lack of a jellyfish room and ice bar, the estate is still loaded with nearly innumerable bespoke features that have already been widely chronicled in Dirt and many other real estate publications. There are five swimming pools, a 30-car garage, a 40-seat movie theater, beauty salon, four-lane bowling alley, glass-encased jogging track, 21 bedrooms, 42 full bathrooms and seven powder rooms. Designed by Irish architect Paul McClean and decorated by Kathryn Rotondi, the blindingly white contemporary structure was also built with a private nightclub, though that space is currently being repurposed into something else after loud opposition from other Bel Air neighbors.
So despite those handful of omissions, maybe you really can have it all or nearly all. But even without a mortgage, those millions of dollars in annual property taxes and upkeep will always be there, too.

Some people say that radio talk show host Stephanie Miller is the new owner of the property.

Seriously.

(58,785 posts)like cost. Only 3.5 acres of it's in land and effectively all used. There's a taste for everything and location's nice, but it looks like something a foreign billionaire or cartel might use to launder and/or park money.
As for earthquake, don't know why, but wouldn't bother hoping. CA's earthquake building codes are very good, and if there was some damage, even if the owner used it they might not see it before whoever tends to these things took care of it.
