Oppenheim Group Taking The Challenge of Selling The $35.5 Million Estate
The most expensive mansion ever sold on the show was sold for $40 million by none other than Jason Oppenheim, the head of the Oppenheim group. One of the biggest moments for the real estate, Oppenheim Group, was selling the stunning mansion. The mansion took all three seasons before it finally been sold by Jason Oppenheim. Before the house was listed on the Oppenheim Group listings, there was a lot of doubt on Jason Oppenheim's mind because this would be the most expensive home they would take on.
When the Oppenheim Group was presented with an opportunity to sell the house for a hefty amount of $40 million, Jason decided to take the challenge for himself. As one of the founders of the agency, Jason initially introduced the property on season one of the show. While they were filming Season two of Selling Sunsets, it was revealed that the house had been renovated, but the time they were filming for season three, Jason Oppenheim finally got to brag about selling the mansion, which seems unsellable.
The New Owner Of The Mansion
Initially, Jason Oppenheim did not want to reveal the identities of the buyers of the $40 million mansions. He attempted to keep the names anonymous for safety purposes. During the interview with Metro, the Oppenheim Group just revealed that the new owners of the mansion are a young couple and that the couple cannot be classified as celebrities. The extremely loaded couple is impressive considering their young age. However, after some time, the identity of the young couple was revealed by Variety. The website featured the young couple, which was identified as couple Tom and Lisa Bilyeu.
Tom and Lisa Bilyeu co-founded the food company famous for selling protein bars and powders, Quest Nutrition. It was said that the couple fell in love upon seeing the property and decided to spend the rest of their lives in the property. The property came with a high standard requirement of having a net worth of at least $250 million; however, as of that moment, Tom was already enjoying a net worth of about $400million which made the sale possible.
