Elon Musk is well on his way to becoming the richest billionaire in the ‘homeless billionaires club’.
The rare group of super-high net worth individuals think that less is more, finding solace in having no homes or possessions.
The last time we checked in on Musk’s promise to “own no house,” he had ditched four of his Bel Air residences for a combined $62 million, but still had a 16 000 square foot mansion just south of San Francisco.
The house was apparently still in his name as Grimes, now his ex-girlfriend and the mother of their baby son X Æ A-Xii, wanted at least one home.
Since his announcement on Twitter to offload “almost all physical possessions” the mansion has been on and off the market.
Now the SpaceX CEO is about to part with his last mansion, having found a tentative buyer for it.
The property is listed for $32 million, down from last year’s listing of $35 million. It’s still enough to make him a decent profit as he originally paid $23,3 million for the place in 2017.
Robb Report has more about what’s on offer at this seven-bedroom, seven-bathroom 47-acre property:
The historic residence was originally built circa 1912; it was designed by architecture firm Bliss & Faville. It’s since been renovated to suit contemporary standards—the grand ballroom, dining room and kitchens were all revamped.
…In the dining area, there’s a “hidden” cocktail room that’s accessible via a retractable wall of library shelves. Other perks include wine and whiskey cellars in the basement, as well as a separate space dedicated to flower arranging.
The primary suite, meanwhile, has its own fireplace, two walk-in closets and two full baths—one with a free-standing tub. Outside there’s a pool and a pavilion for entertaining, plus a separate three-car garage.
Snaps of the interior:
I’ve never seen so much space to lounge.
Musk has apparently accepted the initial proposal from a buyer. The deal is not yet set in stone, but looks likely to go ahead.
Not that it is all that urgent, what with Musk doing obsoletely sterlingly on the money front at the moment.
