Paris Hilton really likes Beverly Park. About two years ago, everyone’s favorite hotel heiress-turned ubiquitous celebutante and global branding mogul moved into a rented mansion in the 90210 gated community, a place known for its collection of extraordinarily large homes and famously famous residents.
Now Hilton has paid a whopping $63.1 million for one of the largest Beverly Park homes of them all, a 30,000-square-foot mega-mansion immediately next door to the place the 44-year-old and her husband Carter Reum have been renting. $63 million is a huge sum of money, of course, but at least they’ll potentially save on moving costs.
Completed circa 2015 and designed by architect Richard Landry, the colossal French-style pile was custom-built for actor Mark Wahlberg and his family. It was Wahlberg who, barely two years ago, sold the place for $55 million to Chinese billionaire Xu Hang and his wife Gu Fang. (Xu, 58, made the bulk of his $7.9 billion fortune during the Covid-19 pandemic by peddling enormous quantities of ventilators to consumers worldwide.)
Xu and Gu apparently didn’t care much for Beverly Park. Earlier this year, their palatial home popped back up for sale, asking $68 million; it took only a couple of months for Hilton and Reum to secure a $5 million discount.
Today, the 6-acre property looks much the same as it did when Wahlberg occupied the premises. Tucked away behind enormous walls and gates, the main house features a soaring entryway with a double staircase, a movie theater, a two-story library and a mirror-walled gym. Also on tap is an upstairs primary suite with a dual closets and bathrooms, each of them slathered in imported marble. And guests will never go without—there are a total of 12 bedrooms and 20 bathrooms scattered around the estate.
The resort-style premises also encompass a five-hole golf course, a skate park, a sports court, several outbuildings and a lagoon-style swimming pool with a grotto and waterfalls. And while we’re not sure if this is a perk, the property sits right next to another Beverly Park mansion recently acquired for $35 million by Kanye West. Other neighboring homeowners include Adele, Sofia Vergara, Rod Stewart, Eddie Murphy, Denzel Washington and Justin Bieber. To live among residents of that caliber, Hilton and Reum will shovel out nearly $6,500 per month in HOA dues, not to mention the exorbitant taxes, utility costs and maintenance fees an estate of this stature will surely require.
Hilton, whose $8.4 million Malibu beach house infamously burned down earlier this year, also still owns and maintains her first 90210 home, a $5.3 million Mediterranean-style mansion in the Mulholland Estates gated community. As for Xu and Gu, they still own a plethora of other homes, including a $107 million hilltop house in Hong Kong, a $55 million Newport Beach mansion they bought from Dr. Terry and Heather Dubrow, and a $20 million L.A. penthouse condo they recently snapped up from Rihanna.

They are all gluttonous.
There is nothing “French” about this horrible monstrosity, other than it’s a perfect castle for a modern day Marie Antoinette. The house is as hideous and empty as the people who would buy it or choose to live there.
What a headache to own.
I like it. I am an extreme introvert and can see how having a home like this would enable me to just stay home. It has everything. Although neighbor Kanye isnt ideal. That’s probably why she got a $5M discount. Lol 😉
I agree with you. That aside investing in real estate is a smart thing to do.
Good for Paris Hilton! investing in real estate is a smart move!
$6500/month in HOA fees!? For what, exactly? Lawn maintenance? What do you get for $6500/month? The house is already 30,000 sq. ft. with every amenity known to mankind.
Do we really take this seriously? No one can really “live”in a 30,000 square foot private home. It can only bet managed by a very large cadre of people who keep it clean and operational, a very peculiar type of family home. I think Paris is fascinating, parlaying her interitance into wealth and fame through hard work and perpetual reinvention. I hope it will be. good investment for her and her family. The way of these grossly sized and decorated mansions seems to be an offer for sale every couple of years.
