Mark Wahlberg’s Palatial Beverly Hills Estate Finds New Owner

A sprawling Beverly Hills compound once owned by actor Mark Wahlberg has officially found a buyer. Nestled in the prestigious North Beverly Park neighborhood, the massive 6.2-acre estate boasts a European-style villa sprawling over 35,000 square feet, complete with luxury amenities that redefine Hollywood opulence.

The estate, featuring a private five-hole golf course, a skate park, water slides, a basketball court, and a grotto-style pool with waterfalls, was listed for $68 million in March by Ginger Glass of Compass. According to property records, the seller—an LLC connected to Chinese billionaire Xu Hang—acquired the property from Wahlberg in 2023 for $55 million and went into contract on Monday. Glass was unavailable for comment.

Wahlberg, famed for roles in The Departed and Boogie Nights, initially purchased the land in 2009 for $8.25 million. He commissioned renowned megamansion architect Richard Landry to create the estate’s stately villa, which features an impressive crowned and columned entryway leading to an imperial staircase and mezzanine. The home is lined with French doors and arched doorways, boasting decorative ceilings and an array of lavish interior spaces, including a two-story library, cigar cellar and lounge, wine tasting room, cinema room, and a large gym.

Wahlberg, along with his wife Rhea Durham and their four children, lived in the estate before relocating to Las Vegas. There, the actor is reportedly advocating for the construction of a Sony studio, marking a new chapter in his career and personal life.

The new owner, Xu Hang, is the founder of a medical device company and one of Mainland China’s wealthiest individuals. Xu’s fortune surged during the COVID-19 pandemic due to increased demand for medical devices, with Forbes reporting his net worth peaking in 2021. The purchase adds to Xu’s impressive portfolio of trophy properties in both Hong Kong and the United States, estimated at over $250 million.

This sale not only marks the transfer of a landmark Hollywood residence but also highlights the global appeal of Beverly Hills real estate among the ultra-wealthy.
