Scooter Braun, the mastermind behind the careers of some of the biggest music industry stars like Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, and David Guetta, boasts an estimated net worth of $500 million. He’s taken $100 million of his hard-earned money and poured it into two remarkable Californian mansions.
Back in 2021, Braun made headlines with a jaw-dropping $65M acquisition of a brand-new Los Angeles mansion, skillfully designed by the award-winning architect Noah Walker (though property records indicate the final sale was $62,605,500). Following that, he splurged $36M on a Montecito estate that exudes Moorish inspirations. This Montecito gem was formerly owned by celebrity house flipper Ellen DeGeneres.
Braun’s remarkable purchаse of the $62.6M contemporary residence set a new local record, further solidifying his status as one of the music industry’s wealthiest and most influential figures.
His rise to prominence began with the discovery of a 12-year-old Justin Bieber, whose YouTube cover of a Ne-Yo song caught Braun’s attention. This led to a transformative journey, introducing Bieber to prominent music figures like Justin Timberlake and Usher.
Braun’s clientele now encompasses luminaries such as Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, David Guetta, Hillary Duff, and the Black Eyed Peas. Alongside astute business ventures, like the $1B sale of his music investment firm, Ithaca Holdings, to a South Korean conglomerate in April 2021, Braun’s net worth surged to an estimated $400M.
It’s unsurprising that Braun’s personal haven is an opulent, recently built mansion nestled in the prestigious Brentwood neighborhood. This grand residence emerged on the market a few months prior to Braun’s purchаse, with a staggering asking price of $70M. While it fell short by $7M, the sale was still a significant success for The Agency, the brokerage responsible for the deal.
Properties of this caliber typically take years to sell, often undergoing multiple price reductions. The transaction also set a fresh record for the celebrity-rich neighborhood, according to Architectural Digest.
Braun’s attraction to the contemporary dwelling is evident, boasting sleek modern architecture, inviting yet extraordinary interiors, and an impressive array of amenities.
The project’s credit goes to an esteemed team, including architect Noah Walker, AD 100 interior designer Jamie Bush, and renowned landscape designer Christine London LTD, who collaborated to bring this masterpiece to life.
The sprawling four-acre estate houses six bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, and numerous recreational spaces, encompassing approximately 19,000 square feet of indoor luxury.
Bush’s distinctive design style, complemented by Walker’s approach to architecture, harmoniously blends modern structures with a warm minimalism, emphasizing light, space, and the unique essence of the location.
The entire residence is conceived as a serene oasis, highlighted by a dedicated primary suite wing to ensure utmost privacy. This suite features a sitting area, separated by a double-sided fireplace, and dual Poliform walk-in closets. Balconies provide vistas of the expansive yard, extending over the canyon to the ocean.
The ensuite bathroom is a marvel, with dual vanities, a freestanding tub, a chaise lounge, and an outdoor seating area.
The $62.6 million property boasts a wealth of amenities, catering to both work and leisure. An upper-level home office offers ocean views, while a main-level office features an outdoor seating area and private entrance, providing Braun with versatile workspaces.
Entertainment and recreation options abound, including a home theater for 12, a spacious family room, a wine room housing 1,650 bottles, and a bar/card room.
Indoor and outdoor pools, along with a gym equipped with a steam room, cater to Braun’s wellness and leisure needs.
A separate guest house on the premises serves as an inviting space for Braun’s famous friends, complete with a living area, dining area, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and washer/dryer.
