Murdoch’s acquisition of Tiegs’ assets is probably high to mark his preference for creating greater privacy for his $150 million mansion, which he bought last year from media titan Jerry Perenchio. Nicknamed Chartwell, this huge space appeared in the 1960 series “The Beverly Hillbillies” and is among the most epic spaces in the city. At the time of its purchase, the $150 million was the largest residential transaction ever signed in California, it was temporarily surpassed by Jeff Bezos’ madness by $165 million (as Murdoch, Bezos later also acquired momentary assets adjacent to his own monster complex).
It is transparent that Murdoch plans to mix the two main names one way or another, even just to use one as a guest space. Don’t be surprised if the Australian/British tycoon demolishes the space of Balinese-style ties to create more gardens or some other sports box for his main resort. It is transparent that the construction of an empire of all kinds in Murdoch’s mind, as the acquisition of Chartwell Manor included 10 acres of adjacent land in the first Bel Air, plus the 1.3 empty acres without delay next door, which was once Ronald Reagan’s former Los Angeles site. Residence.
The Murdochs have been pillars of L.A. for years. Lachlan received his rainy feet in the domain by paying $12.5 million for an “initial” home in the Mandeville Canyon community in Brentwood, while 88-year-old Father Rupert still owns a $28 million vineyard in Bel Air. Not to be left behind, younger brother James owns a $35 million mansion in the mountains above Beverly Hills that he bought several years ago from his expensive father.
