Elon Musk’s first venture into the swanky California neighborhood of Bel Air was in 2012 when he bought a $17 million, 16,251-square-foot mansion.
Musk initially rented the seven-bedroom home starting in 2010 but decided he wanted to live there permanently. The house has a two-story library, a pool and tennis court in the backyard, and views overlooking Bel-Air Country Club.
After he pledged to sell all of his properties, he listed the mansion for $30 million in 2020. The Wall Street Journal reported that it was sold to Chinese billionaire William Ding.
Musk bought a somewhat historic property on the same street as his other Bel Air mansion.

Not only did Musk sell the property to Walker-Pearlman and his wife, Hunter, but the Journal reported that the SpaceX CEO also loaned the couple $6.7 million.
Musk originally listed the home at $9.5 million, but because he wanted the property preserved, he sold it to the couple at a discounted price — and provided financing.
The Journal reported that the couple fell behind on payments, and Musk’s representatives filed a notice of default in July to start the foreclosure process.
“There’s no tragedy here. Elon gave us a magical opportunity. I have no complaints,” Walker-Pearlman told the Journal, adding that he and Hunter “owe him such a spiritual debt.”
Musk then bought four additional properties in Los Angeles.

Being a tech titan means owning property in Silicon Valley — at least for a while.
Musk bought a 16,000-square-foot mansion in Hillsborough, California, a Bay Area suburb about 20 miles outside San Francisco, for $23.4 million in 2017.
The more than 100-year-old, Mediterranean-style mansion has 10 bedrooms, views of the San Francisco Bay, and sits on 47 acres.
A BI review of court records in Musk’s custody dispute with former girlfriend Grimes revealed the billionaire owned property in Austin.
Records showed that Musk purchased a home in February 2022 and claimed he still lived there.
“In February 2022, I bought the home on [redacted] where [redacted] and I still live,” Musk said in the complaint.
Although BI is withholding the address for privacy reasons, Zillow says the house is nearly 7,000 square feet and was built in 2017.
BI’s Grace Kay and Jack Newsham reported that a couple bought the house in 2018 after it was listed for $4.5 million. It was resold in 2022 but never listed publicly, records showed.
