Fashion mogul Serge Azria has sold a beachfront estate in Malibu, California, for $177 million.


The deal set a California record for the second highest-priced home sold in the U.S. after billionaire Ken Griffin bought a New York City penthouse for about $238 million in 2019.



Previously, the highest-priced deal in California was set by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who bought Warner Manor from media mogul David Geffen for $165 million last year, according to The Wall Street Journal.



The property is located on about 7 acres in two parcels in Malibu's Paradise Cove neighborhood, according to Mr. Azria. It was previously owned by a trust associated with Hollywood producer Jerry Weintraub, records show. Mr. Azria and his wife, Florence Azria, bought it in 2013 for $41 million, records show.


Mr. Azria said it took him four years to completely renovate the property. "We are proud that someone was willing to pay that kind of price for what I created," he said, declining to name the buyers.



The main house is about 10,000 square feet, and the property has a movie theater, a spa, and two guest houses, he said.



Mr. Azria said he decided to sell because he was working on another project: a circa 1927 Spanish-style house in Bel-Air. "We are the type of person who likes to move on and do something different," he said.


In 2012, Mr. Azria, the designer of the Joie, Equipment, and Current/Elliott brands sold his company Dutch LLC, the brother of the late Max Azria, founder of the fashion house BCBG Max Azria Group.



In 2021, even home prices, which have been "quiet" for years, are seeing a rare bull market as the U.S. According to the latest data released by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) on January 20, the median home sale price in the U.S. will be $346,900 in 2021, up 16.9% from 2020 and the highest since 1999. With prices up 17 percent year-over-year, the average homeowner gains $50,200 in wealth through their property in 2021.
