Paris Hilton added a sleek new Malibu beach home to her real estate portfolio.
Heiress, reality television pioneer, DJ  and acclaimed chef Paris Hilton is expanding her home horizons in California. Hilton, who announced her engagement to Carter Reum earlier this year, has scooped up a Malibu beach retreat.
Hilton and Reum paid $8.4 million for the two-story oceanfront getaway, reports Variety, and it seems they’ve already made themselves right at home, as the early aughts style icon apparently filmed a promo clip for her Netflix show, Cooking With Paris, in her new kitchen.

The 2,968-square-foot abode is positioned right on La Costa beach. There are stone-tiled floors, recessed lighting and floor-to-ceiling glass walls throughout, so there’s nothing to impede the very impressive ocean views.
Paris Hilton and Carter Reum announced their engagement earlier this year.
The aforementioned kitchen, which already made its television debut, is equipped with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The living room contains a fireplace, and is adjacent to a dining nook.
All three of the bedrooms are situated on the second floor of the home, including the owner’s suite, which is outfitted with wood floors, a fireplace and a stone-tiled bathroom with a built-in tub and double vanities. It also has access to two oceanfront balconies, one of which has a hot tub.
There are wraparound windows and decks on two levels of the home, as well as an outdoor shower, per the listing shared by Compass brokers Chris Cortazzo and Ali Gagerman. Stairs from the house lead directly down to the beach below.
Hilton recently disclosed on The Tonight Show that the wedding planning process has been “very stressful” and that her upcoming nuptials will be a three-day affair, for which she would like to wear 10 different dresses, so luckily she now has this very relaxing Malibu retreat at which she can decompress. The heiress also owns a mansion in the Mulholland Estates gated community in Los Angeles, for which she paid $5.9 million in 2007, as well as an apartment in New York’s Noho neighborhood, which she purchased for $4.9 million in 2014.

The Weeknd paid a hefty $70 million for a sprawling mansion in Bel Air.
It didn’t take The Weeknd long to find his dream home. The musician, who sold his Hidden Hills home to none other than Madonna back in April, has now paid a staggering $70 million for a palatial Bel Air mansion.
The Weeknd (whose real name is Abel Tesfaye) scooped up his new 1.6-acre estate from Dutch media mogul Reinout Oerlemans and his wife, Danielle, in an off-market deal, reports the Wall Street Journal. The Oerlemans told the outlet that they weren’t looking to sell the home until Beverly Hills Estates agents Rayni and Branden Williams contacted them about showing the residence to The Weeknd.

The Oerlemans, who purchased the Los Angeles home for $21.44 million in 2015, weren’t initially convinced they should part with the sprawling property, but eventually decided to sell to the Grammy-winning singer.
The couple completed a major renovation during their ownership; Danielle Oerlemans entirely redesigned the interiors, and added an additional 13,000 square feet in order to create room for a spa and other accoutrements. The Bel Air abode now spans approximately 33,000 square feet, with nine bedrooms spread out among the three floors.
A formal living room contains a fireplace encased in floor-to-ceiling marble, as well as multiple sets of French doors that lead to the backyard. The sleek kitchen is equipped with marble countertops, a large center island and copper cabinets with handles that are made out of leather belts. There’s also a formal dining room, with coffered ceilings and a fireplace.
The lower level of the house is comprised of multiple guest bedrooms, a movie theater and a full bar, as well as the very crucial wellness center, which includes an indoor swimming pool, a hammam and a spa with a sauna. There’s also 10-car garage, just in case the rather oversized motor court doesn’t have enough space for all the automobiles.
Outside, an infinity-edge pool on the main level waterfalls down to the garden and motor court below.
It’s not clear if The Weeknd has moved into his new mansion just yet, but he does still have a second home elsewhere in Los Angeles, as he still maintains an 8,215-square-foot penthouse, which he purchased for $25 million back in 2019.

Michelle Pfeiffer and David E. Kelley Already Bought Their Pacific Palisades Mansion for $25 Million

David E. Kelley and Michelle Pfeiffer scored a quick sale in Pacific Palisades.
It’s been less than two years since Michelle Pfeiffer and David E. Kelley paid $23.23 million for a palatial Pacific Palisades home, but the longtime couple has already decided to part ways with the estate. The Academy Award-nominated actress and her Emmy Award-winning producer husband listed the Mediterranean-style mansion for sale just last month, and now they’ve sold the house for their exact asking price of $25 million.
The seven-bedroom, 10.5-bathroom residence was brand-new when Pfeiffer and Kelley bought it, per the Los Angeles Times, and it doesn’t look like the couple completed any work or renovations during their rather brief ownership.

A vaulted entry leads into the 10,329-square-foot California home. The airy great room features wood-beamed ceilings and a wall of windows, as well as a stone accent wall and a fireplace.
The kitchen is equipped with marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, wood cabinetry, breakfast bar seating and two islands, and is open to a cozy family room. There’s also a formal dining room, as well as a study with a carved stone fireplace and built-in bookshelves.
The owner’s suite is situated on the second floor, and is outfitted with French doors and a fireplace, plus two bathrooms, per the listing held by Compass broker Cindy Ambuehl.

Most of the entertaining spaces on the main level have direct access to the backyard via French doors; there’s plenty of al fresco dining space and outdoor seating, in addition to an infinity-edge pool.
The basement is fully finished, with a large temperature-controlled wine cellar, a screening room, and two guest suites.
Pfeiffer and Kelley have owned quite at least three homes Pacific Palisades over the years, and they’re still trying to offload a four-bedroom property they purchased for $7.7 million back in 2018. Alas, it seems they haven’t had the best luck with that particular residence, as it’s currently listed for $7.3 million, which would mean a significant $400,000 loss for the couple.
