Paul McClean's extravagant Hollywood Hills spec house recently sold, according to Rich Report. Dean McKillen, a Los Angeles developer who spent years developing the mansion, listed it for $38 million in 2021. They paid a discounted but still hefty $28.3 million for the property, which belongs to Ellen Bronfman Hauptman and her husband Andrew Hauptman.

‍

The daughter of a Canadian multibillionaire, Bronfman Hauptman was born into a family that owned Seagram, the former liquor giant that was once the world's largest alcoholic beverage producer. Aside from owning apartment complexes and media companies, she founded Andell Holdings, a private family office.

‍

Through Andell, Andrew Hauptman bought the Chicago Fire professional soccer club for $35 million in 2007. A $204 million deal was struck in September 2019 to sell his controlling interest in the club to billionaire Joe Mansueto.

This modern home, built on an acre of land in 2019, features a motorcourt, a subterranean garage, and a driveway with a lengthy gate. This nearly 12,000 square foot home features four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, hardwood floors, stone walls, and designer lighting. A seamless indoor-outdoor space and sweeping views of the Los Angeles basin are provided by the large expanses of glass.

‍

There is a set of stairs leading up to the entryway of a two-story mansion, where a double front door rests beside an olive tree, leading to a light-filled living room with a fireplace and a dining area with a wet bar. An oversized eat-in island, top-quality appliances, and a family room complete the gourmet kitchen.

‍

The master retreat holds court at one end of the house, with its fireside seating area, walk-in closet, and luxe bathroom with dual vanities and a large soaking tub. There is an indoor pool, gym, sauna, and a movie theater on the lower level, accessible by curving stairs.

‍

With a touch of flair, the tropically landscaped grounds include a palm tree-laced central courtyard, a covered terrace with a cozy fireplace, and an infinity edge pool.

‍

Aside from the Hauptmans' new Hollywood Hills house, they own a $21 million mansion in Malibu. As well as their main residence in Brentwood Park, the couple owns a $16 million estate.

‍

A number of real estate watchers may recall that the Hauptman family also built the only John Pawson-designed house in Los Angeles, a huge Bel Air mansion they sold for $85 million in 2018 to Japanese businessman Hideki Tomita. Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, bought that place from Tomita for $133 million in 2021.
