No Hidden Hills discussion could be complete without mentioning the Kardashians, long the area’s most famous (or infamous, if you prefer) residents. When they’re not busy taking butt selfies or doin’ the daily pap stroll, the krazy K-Klan buys and sells multi-million dollar Valley mansions like normal folks go through laundry detergent. And so, here […]

Last summer, a brand-spankin’-new Hidden Hills monster mansion sold for a fat $12,100,000. Records are a bit perplexing on this one — they show the property was acquired by an untraceable Zurich, Switzerland-based entity that was originally incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, a notorious offshore tax haven. All of that seems decidedly exotic for […]

Yolanda thought we’d do something a wee bit different today. We realize that we pay the Westside of LA entirely too much attention up in this here blog. It’s not okay that we neglect other areas, other areas like the wilderness that is the San Fernando Valley. Yeah, the only time we chat about the […]

This isn’t really the sort of story Yolanda would normally yakk about, but If y’all live in the area or follow local LA news religiously, you probably already know that the super-wealthy yet low-key and family-friendly Pacific Palisades neighborhood recently got shook. A few days back, you see, an (allegedly) alcohol-fueled gunfight went down — […]

Want to know a secret, kiddies? Well, pretend to give a care for a minute and guess what Yolanda’s most-read post of 2017 (so far) was. Go on, you know you want to. Our story about Sandra Bullock? How about Kylie Jenner? Maybe Jeremy Piven? Nope. Nope. Nope. None of the above. The post that […]

As we have told y’all before, Yolanda has been in this “business” a very long time, kiddies. Thus we should have seen — or at least suspected — what was going on with this particular property a long time ago. But idiots that we are, we overlooked all the obvious signals. When we say “this” […]

When Yolanda’s longtime friend Vlad the Revealer at Celebrity Address Aerial contacted us to inquire about a supremely-located Pacific Palisades property that had just sold for a fat $9,300,000 to a mysterious blind trust, we didn’t think it would be difficult to suss out the buyer’s true identity. After all, Yolanda is quite familiar with this particular […]

He may be pushing 90 years old, but apparel tycoon turned billionaire film producer and hardcore real estate baller Sidney Kimmel apparently wants a new house. And Yolanda hears from a little birdie that he has already closed on his latest dream residence: a deceptively modest-lookin’ contemporary spec build in prime Beverly Hills. Modest is […]

To most folks, spending $10 million on a house seems like an unfathomable extravagance, the kind reserved for lottery winners and nouveau riche celebrities. But in reality, it’s a different kind of group altogether that (generally) buys those homes. Most folks spending eight figures on a property are successful businesspeople who are looking to invest […]

While that other famous (and famously expensive) Southern California seaside community of Malibu has been celebrating a banner sales year — two of the three biggest sales ever recorded in the last six months, not to mention multiple other $30M+ transactions — action down in the OC’s toniest communities (Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, and Dana […]
