For most of the past decade the Kendall Jenner house has meant one property: the Spanish-style villa in the gated Mulholland Estates development above Beverly Hills that she bought from Charlie Sheen in October 2017 for $8.55 million. That changed in February 2025, when she quietly paid around $22.8 million for a six-acre equestrian compound … Read more
Brian Robbins has bought and sold real estate in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara County steadily for more than a decade, and the pattern is more interesting than any single sale.

David Ortiz has owned two homes that generated serious coverage, and he has sold both. The first was a Weston, Massachusetts mansion built around his Red Sox career, complete with a bedroom mocked up as Fenway Park.
