Los Angeles megamansion is sold to a Chinese buyer for $75 MILLION

A megamansion in Los Angeles has been sold to a Chinese national for $75 million, marking one of the biggest residential real estate deals in the city’s history.  

The 25,000 square foot home was originally listed last November for $88 million, before the seller slashed the asking price. 

Located in the swanky neighborhood of Bel-Air, the property had only just been completed by Ardie Tavangarian, a high-powered owner of construction firm Arya Group. 

Tavangarian built the superstructure for his family, but decided to sell up after costs blew out and the project became ‘ever more elaborate and expensive’, The Wall Street Journal reports.

The sale of the superstructure comes just weeks after the biggest residential real estate sale in L.A. history.  

Earlier this month, the former estate of TV mogul Aaron Spelling sold for a whopping $120 million. 

That home is the priciest property in the Los Angeles area, and boasts bowling alley and three ‘present wrapping rooms’. 

According to The Wall Street Journal the sale of the two lavish properties within the same month has helped ‘bolster sentiment about the city’s struggling ultra-luxury real estate market’.
