Listed for $135M, the Danny Thomas Estate Is One of America’s Most Expensive Homes

Published: November 14, 2015 | By: American Luxury Staff

The one-time Beverly Hills home of 1950s and 60’s television star, comedian, and founder of St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Tennessee Danny Thomas is still on the market for $135 million.

Considered the best estate for sale in the world by some, Thomas had the 18,000-square-foot Moorish-style home built in 1970 on a 2.5-acre promontory piece of land that has 360-degree views of Los Angeles and the Pacific Ocean.

No expense was spared to build the lavish mansion which features Italian marble, a gold-leaf ceiling, and $2.5 million worth of Baccarat crystal chandeliers, and that’s just in the entryway.

The mansion features 7 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms with a custom kitchen with Miele and Viking appliances that is built to entertain up to 100 people. The house also has a ballroom, media room, pool with waterfall spa, 20-car motor court, and complete servants quarters.

The estate was last sold in 2000 for $15 million and the current owner—who’s identity has been kept secret—spent millions in restorations.
