In 2019, The Manor – formerly known as Spelling Manor – set a new real estate record when it sold for just shy of $120 million (£96m) the highest selling price ever in California at the time.

The property was off-loaded by owner Petra Ecclestone, the daughter of Formula One billionaire Bernie Ecclestone, who made a serious profit on her initial investment. She reportedly purchased the pad in 2011 for $85 million (£68m) and originally wanted $200 million (£160m) for the 123-room residence.

In February 2022, the iconic estate was back on the market for $165 million (£135m), before the price was cut to $137.5 million (£110m) in April 2024.
