Listing details show the mansion was originally built in 1938 on an up-sloping 1.24 acre parcel at the tail end of a long, snaking driveway that opens up to a motor court the size of a 7-11 parking lot where, right in the middle, each of the Pritzkers pressed their hand prints in concrete around an inset tile compass (or clock or whatever it is). We have no idea how much Mister and Missus Pritzker spent on upkeep, upgrades and carrying costs, of course, but even though the fourteen million clam sale price is almost eight million less than they originally wanted it’s still a decent if not exactly spectacular return on their investment since records show they acquired the property in August 2001 for $9,500,00. Your Mama turned up digital evidence that suggests the asking price was lowered in slivered amounts an astonishing 18 times before the property was taken off the market in March 2013 and quickly re-listed with an asking price of $16,495,000.įinally, according to both Our Fairy Godmother in Bel Air and Peter Propertyseller, along came sixty-something year old Austrian-born celebrity chef and restaurateur Wolfgang Puck and his stunningly beautiful (and much younger) third wife, Ethiopian-born high-end handbag designer and philanthropist Gelila Assefa Puck** who forked over, as per property records, $14,000,000 for walled and gated estate. No longer in need of their old mansion, in May 2012 Mister and Missus Pritzker pushed their old house-a 1930s Mediterranean villa dubbed Villa les Violettes-on the market with an in-hindsight much too rosy asking price of $21,990,000. They could have, iffin they’d been so inclined, hauled all their personal belongings from the old to the new house by burro. During construction, a dirt path zig-zagged down in to the ravine behind the old house and up the hillside below the new one. The Pritzker family didn’t have far to schlep their stuff since their old house happens to be on an abutting property just below their new house.
