Richard Saghian has turned up as the winning bidder for the Los Angeles mansion called "The One." The 21-bedroom and 49-bathroom Bel Air estate was sold to Saghian on March 3 for $441 million.
The Fashion Nova owner managed to beat four other offers for the 105,000 sq. ft. home, which is the biggest U.S. residential property for auction. Saghian also issued a statement stating:
“There is nothing else like it. As a lifelong Angeleno and avid collector of real estate, I recognized this as a rare opportunity that also lets me own a unique property that is destined to be a part of Los Angeles history.”
Real estate agent Branden Williams revealed that Richard is a fan of architect Paul McClean. Williams, along with his partner Rayni Williams and Stuart Vetterick of Hilton & Hyland introduced Saghian to the property. Branden stated,
“He really sees value for the price he got it. It’s a spectacular property.”
Even though the winning bid was more than double the previous record for U.S. home auctions, it fell short of the estate’s $295 million list price. The sale must be approved by a bankruptcy court judge with a closing scheduled by March 21.
