Rupert Murdoch’s son buys $150M Bel Air mansion, setting California record

Date: Dec 12 2019

Chartwell, the Bel Air compound long considered one of L.A.’s most epic estates, has transferred for an unprecedented $150 million, easily enough to rank as the most expensive California home ever sold. The amount is also the second-biggest on record in the entire U.S., behind only hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin’s $238 million splurge on a four-floor New York penthouse.
