James Packer’s curious move on $132m mansion – realestate.com.au

Must read

It’s the $132m Hollywood home James Packer just can’t let go.


Billionaire James Packer took his Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, mansion down from multiple listing websites late last month.

The luxury offering had come with a rigid $US85m ($132m) asking price during its seven months online.

No word from within his Consolidated Press group on what’s behind the decision, but it appears Packer’s Hollywood era may not be done quite yet.

The billionaire splits his time between California, Aspen, an Argentine polo ranch and a beach house in Cabo San Lucas, on Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, as well as sailing the Mediterranean, where his yacht IJE recently departed Monaco to spend the weekend in Antibes.

The decision by Packer to list the mansion last September followed his ex-wife Erica’s decision to have the couple’s three children educated in London.

The 2694 sqm house boasts seven bedrooms, an eight-car garage, wine room, home theatre and cigar room.

The home was bought for $US59.5m, having been once owned by actor Danny DeVito and wife Rhea Perlman, who sold it in 2015 for $29m after living there for 21 years.

It was once rented by Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.

It was in 2015 when Packer sold his Vaucluse mansion for $70m.

He retains a two-floor apartment in Crown Resorts’ Barangaroo tower, but with trips back to Sydney a rarity nowadays there are whispers he could offload, though presumably not until the complex secures a sellout.

Bloomberg reported there is now a $90m asking price on the unsold penthouse, which has been on the market at $100m since 2021.
