The billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk, announced in May that he would be “selling almost all physical possessions. No home will be owned.” A few days later, he put up for sale for a combined $137 million four magnificent mansions in Los Angeles. In addition to the former residence of Gene Wilder, Elon Musk’s House portfolio also includes a $30 million mansion in Los Angeles and a historic, century-old mansion on the San Francisco Peninsula.
Musk once owned a number of properties in the greater Los Angeles area, with a total market value of over $70 million. Late in 2012, Musk bought his first piece of property in Bel-Air. In 2010, he began by renting the same home and residing there with his family. Later, he paid $17 million to purchase the mansion.
This Elon Musk house has 20,248 sprawls over square feet with a total of seven bedrooms and thirteen baths. The kitchen features a beautiful brick ceiling. The backyard has a beautiful pool, a spacious tennis court, and a picturesque view of the exclusive Bel-Air Country Club. The home also houses a gym and a wine cellar. This 20,248-square-foot property was the beginning of it all, the first and the largest of his Bel Air estates to go after Musk had tweeted about his goal to the world, the property had been up for sale with an asking price of $30 million and had sold for $29.72 million to William Ding, a Chinese billionaire The sum is reportedly about $5.5 million more than what the Tesla CEO paid when buying it in 2016.
This stunning Elon Musk’s house was located a little away from his mansion for $6.75 million in October 2013. Yes, Elon Musk owned the house of the late actor Gene Wilders, which he had purchased to “preserve the spirit of Gene Wilder”. Beloved actor Gene Wilder lived there for over 30 years until 2007. In a 2015 interview with Vogue, the billionaire CEO described it as “like a little schoolhouse on the prairie, except in Bel-Air on a golf course.” Though Musk never lived in the house, he had used it as a private school—named AdAstra—for his children and children of some of the SpaceX and Tesla employees. While selling the house, the Tesla CEO made it clear that the buyer must not harm the house’s “soul” or tear it down. “Just one stipulation on sale: I own Gene Wilder’s old house. It cannot be torn down or lose any of its soul.” Musk tweeted. Soon, it was revealed that he had sold the Wilder estate to Elizabeth Hunter, the wife of Wilder’s nephew Jordan Walker-Perlman, for $7 million in an off-market deal. It was also reported that the tech mogul lent as much as $6.7 million to help them buy the property too.
This boomerang-shaped Elon Musk’s house in Brentwood, California, about 15 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles was previously owned by Elon Musk. Musk paid just under $3.7 million for it in 2014, per the Variety-owned real-estate site Dirt. The building is surrounded by privacy hedges for security but has floor-to-ceiling giant windows throughout to let the daylight in. Musk sold the home for $4 million in late August 2019, stated a Business Insider report. Way before he publicly declared his intentions, Musk had already sold a 0.28-acre modern house in Brentwood, only about 20 minutes away from his six former Chalon-Somera properties. He sold it in August 2019 for $3.9 million, the property had reportedly cost the Tesla CEO about $3.7 million in 2014.
The billionaire techie purchased another Bel-Air mansion while it was still under construction for $24.25 million in 2016, Variety reported that year. Notably, Musk doesn’t own a home near the Tesla factory in Fremont, California. He has previously shared that he slept on a couch or the floor of a conference room during busy production periods.
Now, after almost a year of purging his material possessions, everything has been reduced to a massive 100-year-old mansion outside of San Jose. The Hillsborough estate has 9 bedrooms, 9.5 bathrooms, and almost everything you could possibly want, including hiking trails, canyons, a large ballroom, and a reservoir! It is situated on 47 acres of land. In May 2020, it was initially listed for $35 million, but it appears Musk has removed the listing for the time being. But according to reports, there’s a good chance the house will be put back on the market and Musk will succeed in his mission to sell all of his real estate holdings.
