For the past couple months Yolanda has been writing more infrequently, as some subscribers have noticed. Yes, we’ve been busy with something. Something big we’re thrilled to finally share with all of you. So here goes. Yolanda and our little blog have been acquired by Penske Media Corporation (PMC). We’ve been hired both to join […]

EDIT (4/7/19): Yolanda has been contacted by a knowledgable Hope Ranch resident who swears up and down that this house — the one we reference below — was actually purchased by Mr. Wolf for his estranged wife Noelle Lippman. It appears Mr. Wolf will remain in his longtime Montecito digs. Back in January (2019), TMZ […]

Forgive us for being rather brusque on this story; we have already written about this property on at least three prior occasions. If any of y’all care to read them, just click here, here, and here. Anyway, everyone’s favorite talent agent extraordinaire-turned-powerhouse CEO Ari Emanuel has sold off his eye-catching compound near the mouth of […]

Horse-clogged Sullivan Canyon, snugly tucked between the swanky Westside neighborhoods of Brentwood and Pacific Palisades, has long been a favored residential destination of wealthy Tinseltown equestrians. Famous folks like Steven Spielberg, Christian Bale, Ryan Murphy and Kathleen Kennedy maintain ranches (and/or mansions) in this bucolic nabe. Though once somewhat overlooked, Sullivan Canyon real estate is […]

The tiny, oil-rich sovereign state of Qatar — right next door to the Saudis on the Arabian Peninsula — is apparently feeling extra-flush with that black gold lately. In 2015, the Qatar Investment Authority announced plans to inject $35 billion into unspecified “US investments” over five years. Hence their rabid spending on luxury LA real […]

Less than three years ago, in May 2016, a brand-new contemporary mansion atop a majestic Montecito mountaintop sold for $16 million amid multiple offers. The winning bidders were bazillionaire Arizona-based entrepreneur Bruce Halle and his longtime wife Diane Cummings Halle, an heiress to the Sara Lee food corporation. Here’s a peek at how the property […]

Thanks to our observant readers Miss Havisham and Boris Badass, Yolanda has learned that serial house flipper Ellen DeGeneres and her longtime actress wife Portia de Rossi have jettisoned their 90210 mid-century time capsule onto the market with a $17,950,000 ask. And all the Platinum Triangle trophy wives and paper boys are all in a […]

Everyone knows the high-end real estate market is a mite sluggish right now — at least in LA — so today Yolanda dug this story out of our vault. The transaction went down back near the dawn of time, in November 2017, but nobody wrote about it. As far as we know. So it’s still […]

Last week, one of Yolanda’s longtime readers sent us an unusual request. Show the extravagant houses of those admissions cheaters, he said. Reveal how these corrupt people live to the world. By now, y’all already know the story, as blabbed by every news outlet on the planet. In a cunning and remorseless scheme orchestrated by […]

Today Yolanda will take y’all on a brief tour of a large mansion situated in the mountains above Beverly Hills, in a neighborhood known as Beverly Hills Post Office (BHPO) — so-called because homes there have the coveted 90210 zip code (and thus are serviced by the actual B.H. Post Office) but are technically located […]
