The most expensive home ever sold in Beverly Hills is the Warner Estate on Angelo Drive, which sold for a reported $165 million in February 2020, and no Beverly Hills house has topped it since (as of October 2026). The former Hearst home, the Beverly Estate, which this page used to call the priciest, listed at $135 million and in the end sold at auction for a reported $63.1 million.
This list ranks the eight highest sale prices we could verify for houses in Beverly Hills, from reported closings, auction results and agent announcements. Beverly Hills proper only: Bel Air and Holmby Hills sales, such as the $150 million Chartwell sale, are not counted. Where a price is reported but not confirmed in public records, we say so.

Records set in 2025 and 2026
No new record has been set, and the market has softened. The big 2025 Beverly Hills sales were 71 Beverly Park at $63.1 million in June and 1028 Ridgedale Drive at $60 million in April, and in August 2025 912 Benedict Canyon went for $47.5 million. In July 2026 Villa Lulu sold for $47.75 million against a 2021 asking price of $110 million.
Asking prices are not sale prices
Beverly Hills ask prices are routinely cut in half before a sale. Villa Lulu asked $110 million and sold for $47.75 million. The Beverly Estate asked $195 million in 2016 and sold at auction for a reported $63.1 million. Wasserman asked $125 million and sold for about $68 million. Use sold prices when you compare.
What drives these prices
- Land. The top sale is also one of the biggest lots, about 9.4 acres.
- Provenance. Film history lifts the Warner and Hearst houses.
- Fashion. New builds in Trousdale and Beverly Park sell on views and finish.
- The ask-to-sale gap. The market clears far below the headline asks.
