This October, billionaire Diana (Chen) Ningning listed a Beverly Hills home she bought in March of this year. Seven million dollars distinguish Ningning’s purchase price from the new ask of $30 million. The reason for the rapid turnaround could be the Siren song of a quick $5 million profit, a change of heart regarding the layout, or a simple case of second thoughts.
The estate is certainly extravagant enough for an unusually successful young businessperson. The Tuscan architecture of the house is supported by superb landscaping, the winged design of the main house contains a seemingly endless series of amenities, and the extensive grounds accommodate a guest house, a lighted sports court, a pool with cabana, and multiple patios, loggias, and gardens.
There are 6 bedrooms and at least 8 baths in the main house: 4 suites, including the master, as well as a pair of staff suites. A home theater with stadium seating, massive living spaces, and a large kitchen present ample entertainment potential.
The lot extends to 1.85 acres. A large motor court with a fountain centerpiece, four-car garage, mature trees, walking paths, terraces, groomed landscaping, water features, lawns, and a pool and lounge area ringed by palms and shrubs round out a look at this extraordinary property.
Hong Kong-based Diana Ningning is known as the ‘Steel Princess’—the informal title has origins in her family’s interests in the steel industry. She founded Pioneer Metal Company in 1996, when she was 25. Her net worth is around $1 billion.
