Internet mogul Evan Spiegel has just purchased Harrison Ford’s former Los Angeles manse for $12.5 million. The 25-year-old founder of the ultra-popular Snapchat app surely won’t be disappointed since the home is fit for a celebrity owner.
Snapchat is a messaging app that’s gained popularity in recent years, and the young entrepreneur will surely enjoy his success at his new Brentwood estate. Even the seller, Kevin Reilly, has ties to Tinseltown since he is the current president of TBS and TNT. Reilly purchased the home back in 2012 for $8.2 million from Harrison Ford, who had bought the property back in 1983 for $1 million.
With views of the Century City skyline to the Pacific Ocean, the updated early 1950s residence spans 7,164 square feet and features French doors that open to a brick terrace, a fireplace surrounded by custom mill work, and polished medium brown hardwood floors.
The main home sports three en-suite bedrooms on the upper floor, including a master suite with three sets of French doors, a bathroom with a black marble-topped double sink vanity, a free-standing, silver-sided soaking tub, and a steeply pitched cathedral ceiling.
Spiegel’s net worth now exceeds $2 billion. He recently paid $3.33 million for a Spanish-style home in the Brentwood Park neighborhood.
