Thiel Acquires Bel-Air’s Casa Encantada in $130M Foreclosure Deal
Peter Thiel has been identified as the secret buyer of the historic Bel-Air estate Casa Encantada, which sold for $130 million in a July foreclosure auction. The 1938 mansion, previously owned by telecom mogul Gary Winnick, is the most expensive home sale in Los Angeles this year. Thiel, who does not plan to reside there, views the property as an investment to be upgraded, adding it to a global real estate portfolio that includes homes in Miami, Washington DC, and Buenos Aires.
