LeBron James demolishes $37 Million Beverly Hills mansion to rebuild his “dream home”
Upon purchase three years ago, James started the legal battle to get building permits to rebuild on the 2.5-acre plot, which had both a pool and pool house, tennis courts, and one of the largest driveway gates in L.A., per multiple reports.
Prior to demolition, the home featured vaulted ceilings, seven fireplaces, four bedrooms, eight bathrooms, seven fireplaces, a screening room, a trophy room and a breakfast courtyard with teal-tiled fountain, per House Beautiful.
No, not of an NBA roster, but rather of a $37 million mansion in Beverly Hills, California owned by James and his family.
The 38-year-old superstar has reportedly decided to tear down the picturesque house and rebuild his “dream home” from the ground up, according to Front Office Sports. House Beautiful provided a detailed look into the features of the 13,000-square-foot, Spanish Mission-style mansion James purchased in 2020.
The home was built in the 1930s and originally belonged to the estate of Lee Phillip Bell, who along with her husband helped co-create “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless.” Among the home’s former owners include actor Charles Boyer as well as Howard Hughes. Actress Katharine Hepburn also rented the property.
He also owns two more homes worth more than $20 million, both of which are located in Brentwood.
James’ contract is for two years at just more than $99 million. However, the second year is a player option worth almost $51.5 million.
