Celebrity Real Estate Surge: Tyler Perry Lists $57M Beverly Hills Estate, Henry Cuts Manhattan Penthouse Price

A cluster of high-profile celebrity properties hit the market this week, headlined by Tyler Perry’s 22.5-acre Beverly Hills compound listing at $57 million — one of the most expensive active listings in the 90210 zip code. The Tuscan-style villa, where Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, resided during their 2020 transition from royal duties, spans nearly 24,600 square feet with nine bedrooms and 15 bathrooms. Perry purchased the property in 2011 for $12 million, according to property records, and the current asking price reflects both the acreage scarcity in Beverly Hills and the premium attached to celebrity provenance.

In Manhattan, soccer legend Thierry Henry and his partner, model Andrea Rajacic, have relisted their SoHo penthouse at $25 million, a $1.75 million reduction from its February asking price of $26.75 million. The 5,600-square-foot condominium occupies the top floors of an 1870s cast-iron landmark building and includes 4,600 square feet of private terraces across four levels — an unusually large outdoor footprint for a downtown condo. The unit features 14-foot ceilings, two deeded parking spaces, and an indoor bamboo garden. Listed with Sotheby’s International Realty’s Joshua Judge, the property has been on and off the market since 2022, reflecting the continued softness in Manhattan’s ultra-luxury condo segment where inventory exceeds qualified buyers.

Three additional Los Angeles-area properties joined the market this week. Sharon Osbourne reduced the price of her Hancock Park estate to $16 million, a roughly 6% cut from the $17 million asking price set in April. The 1929 Mediterranean-style mansion spans nearly 11,600 square feet on a double lot. Osbourne first attempted to sell in 2022, then relisted this year following the 2023 death of her husband, Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, at age 76. The property’s price history illustrates the challenges of moving historic estates in a market where buyers often prefer new construction.

Taylor Swift’s first California property, a Beverly Hills bungalow compound she purchased in 2011 for $2.5 million at age 22, is now listed at $7.995 million by the couple who bought it directly from her in 2018 for $4 million. The mini-compound includes a main house and guest cottage totaling approximately 3,500 square feet. Swift’s ownership coincided with her “Speak Now” era, and the property’s value appreciation — roughly 220% over 13 years — outperforms the broader Beverly Hills market, which has gained approximately 85% over the same period.

In the San Fernando Valley, a rebuilt estate once owned by Dolly Parton and her husband Carl Dean listed for $8 million. The country music icon, who remains active in her career, and Dean purchased the property in the mid-1980s following her film debut in “9 to 5.” The original structure was demolished and replaced in 2009 with a contemporary residence on approximately one acre. Parton’s primary residences have long been in Tennessee, including her 63-acre compound near Nashville.

Rounding out the week’s notable listings, actress and design enthusiast Diane Keaton’s former Laguna Beach bluff-top retreat listed at $10.3 million. The four-bedroom, 3,500-square-foot home, which Keaton owned from 2021 to 2022, showcases her signature black-and-white aesthetic with industrial lighting and a renovated fireplace. The 1976 property underwent system updates and a new roof during her brief ownership. Keaton, known for her Pinterest-followed design sensibility, has flipped multiple Southern California properties over the past decade.

The concentration of celebrity listings reflects seasonal market patterns — late autumn typically sees sellers aiming to close before year-end — and a broader trend of high-net-worth individuals consolidating real estate portfolios amid economic uncertainty. Luxury brokers report that properties with celebrity histories command 10-15% premiums over comparable non-celebrity homes, though that premium has narrowed in 2024 as buyers prioritize move-in condition and modern amenities over provenance.
