A billionaire heir built one of America’s largest homes. His bitter divorce means his 5 million mansion is for sale.

In the hills of Beverly Crest, a neighborhood in Los Angeles’ Westside, looms the Pritzker estate, one of the largest homes in the US.

The 50,000-square-foot megamansion took six years to build and includes 16 bedrooms, 27 bathrooms, a tennis court, a basketball court, a cliffside pool, a detached guest house, a bowling alley, and a private movie theater.

It hit the market in October 2024 after owners Tony and Jeanne Pritzker, who initially separated in 2022, finalized their divorce with an undisclosed settlement in 2024.

At first, the estate was listed for $195 million. The Wall Street Journal reported that if it sold for that, it would break the previous record for the priciest home sold in Los Angeles, held by Jeff Bezos. Bezos bought his Beverly Hills mansion, which is just over a mile from the Pritzker estate, for $165 million in 2020.

In April 2025, the Pritzker estate’s listing price was slashed by $20 million to $175 million. Another drop in January 2026 reduced it to its current price of $135 million, officially putting it under Bezos’ home.

Take a look inside the one-of-a-kind property.

The estate was built by Tony Pritzker, an heir to the Hyatt fortune, and his wife, Jeanne. They separated in 2022 after 33 years of marriage.

Tony and Jeanne Pritzker married in 1989 and have six children together. Tony Pritzker is one of the heirs to the Hyatt Hotels fortune and is chairman and CEO of Pritzker Private Capital. Forbes estimates he’s worth $4.9 billion as of June 2026.

The couple cited irreconcilable differences in their divorce filing.

Upon their split in 2022, Jeanne Pritzker wanted to remain in the home, while her husband wanted to sell.

The Wall Street Journal reported in 2024 that Tony Pritzker’s lawyers informed her she didn’t have any rights to the Pritzker estate; instead, it was owned by a series of trusts and LLCs.

The lawyers said that since she wasn’t a beneficiary of any of these trusts, she didn’t actually own the home.

The Journal reported that this is a growing trend among billionaires who want to hide their actual wealth for various reasons, including tax purposes, estate planning, and privacy.

The Pritzkers did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

Now, their former home is on the market for $135 million.

The home is in Beverly Crest, a neighborhood with some huge mansions. You might even recognize the zip code: 90210.

Among the Pritzkers’ neighbors was Jeff Bezos, who owns a property 1.4 miles away known as the Warner Estate. He purchased the home for a record-breaking $165 million in 2020.

Zillow shows nearby homes range from $1.3 million to $150 million.

The 6-acre property has 180-degree views of the Los Angeles skyline.

“You feel like you’re floating in the view,” local real-estate agent Rayni Williams told the Journal. Williams isn’t involved with the sale but has attended events at the home.

She added that the view is unique because properties of this size tend to be in flatter areas of LA, rather than up in the hills.

The home was designed by architect Ed Tuttle.

Tuttle, who died in 2020, was known for designing the Thai luxury resort Amanpuri.

An atrium is the focal point of the main house.

The Zillow listing noted that the patterned roof resembles the pyramid outside the Louvre, designed by I.M. Pei.

This sitting area is surrounded by glass.

The home was made for entertaining, specifically, according to Jeanne Pritzker, for charity events.

Mitt Romney held a fundraiser at the property in 2012, The Hollywood Reporter reported.

From the sitting area, you can see throughout the home’s first floor.

While the exterior is limestone, the interior is mainly steel and glass.

A living room showcases panoramic views of the city and one of the home’s 18 fireplaces.

On a clear day, you can see the Pacific Ocean.

Some hallways have glass panels, so anyone walking through the house can see the views and the interior courtyard.

The home also has its own wellness center.

This central courtyard has seating for anyone looking to take in the LA sunshine.

They’re not visible in this photo, but the interior courtyard also has fountains.

There’s a ground-floor patio and a balcony on the second floor.

The property also has parking for anywhere from 80 to 100 cars.

From the pool, you can see the downtown LA skyline.

The infinity pool is 75 feet long and made with green marble.

The backyard also has an outdoor kitchen with two grills and a pizza oven.

There’s even a “custom swimsuit spinner,” per the Journal.

You can’t miss the tennis court and basketball court in the yard either.

Any sports fan would be happy here.

There’s also a detached guest house.

It’s a two-story building with two bedrooms of its own.

The property was completed in 2011, the Journal reported.

Due to property restrictions, it’s unlikely that a home of this size will be built in this area again.

“You couldn’t build it today. This is the finest house I’ve ever seen,” the listing agent, Stephen Shapiro, told the Journal.

Shapiro, of Westside Estate Agency, is marketing the listing with his colleague Kurt Rappaport.

Editor’s note: This story was originally published in October 2024. It was updated in June 2026 to reflect the property’s latest price decrease.
