Inside this tech billionaire’s US$100 million luxury California home – now slashed to ‘just’ US$54 million
When it was first listed, tech mogul Scott McNealy’s Palo Alto home was the most expensive home for sale in the San Francisco Bay Area for more than a decade – now the price has been slashed almost in half to US$54 million
When it was first advertised in June 2018 for close to US$100 million, this home was declared the most-expensive home listed for sale in California’s moneyed San Francisco Bay Area for more than a decade.
But since then the original price has been slashed by almost half – and now the luxurious home is on the market for “just” US$54 million.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the 32,000-square-foot (2,973-square-metre) home at 610 Los Trancos Road in Palo Alto, California, belonged to Scott McNealy, who founded the computer company Sun Microsystems before Oracle bought it in 2010 for US$7.4 billion.
He bought the first part of the home's 13-acre (52,609-square-metre) lot in the mid-1980s before having the gargantuan house built in 2008.
The four-storey home boasts 20 rooms, two fireplaces, and a pool – and that's just scratching the surface. Take a closer look inside.
Homeowners and guests enter through an entryway.
The house has a traditional, slightly rustic vibe.
