Paris Hilton Makes a Major Real Estate Purchase
In June, Paris Hilton and her husband, Carter Reum, marked a significant milestone in the US real estate market by purchasing Mark Wahlberg’s former mega-mansion for a staggering $63 million.
This impressive Beverly Hills estate, among other high-priced transactions in California, secured a spot on Redfin’s list of the most expensive home sales in the country. Reports indicate that the luxury real estate market in Los Angeles is regaining traction, particularly following recent fire damage in the area.
Hilton and Reum, who are parents to two young children, stand out among several frustrated homeowners. Earlier this year, Hilton openly discussed the loss of their Malibu home, sharing images of its destruction while watching the news.
The massive size of their new residence helps to justify the significant price tag. Spanning nearly 30,500 square feet on six acres, the estate includes amenities like sports courts, skate parks, and a lavish water park-style pool. The main house, along with a guesthouse, features a total of 12 bedrooms, plus wine and cigar cellars, a home theater, and staff quarters.
It appears that the previous owners, Wahlberg and his wife Rhea Durham, sold their home last year for $55 million, which now seems like quite the deal in retrospect. According to Redfin, Hilton and Reum’s purchase currently ranks as the fifth most expensive home sale of 2025.
Real estate agent Nicole Plaxen highlighted that buyers like Hilton are fueling activity in L.A.’s luxury market, with a notable return of foreign investors, particularly from China.
While Hilton’s expansive purchase generated headlines, other high-value sales occurred elsewhere. For instance, a striking 22-bedroom mansion in Manhattan sold for $38.2 million, contributing to New York’s presence in June’s rankings.
Though impressive, Hilton’s transaction pales compared to the record-setting sale of three adjacent beachfront properties in Naples, Florida, which fetched $225 million earlier in April—marking it as the second-highest home sale in US history.
