In the rough and tumble, high-stakes world of ultra-high-end residential real estate, some win and others lose. In the mid-1990s, on a parcel of land he bought for $7 million, John Moores, then the owner of the San Diego Padres MLB franchise, custom built a sprawling contemporary home facing the Pacific Ocean over the 18th fairway of the Pebble Beach Golf Links. Dubbed “Masterpiece on 18,” the copper-roofed residence was just sold for a whopping $45 million, making it the highest residential transaction ever in California’s Monterey County, surpassing the $40 million transfer of a historic Carmel Highlands estate to Brad Pitt in 2022. And in Malibu, rapper Kanye West, aka Ye, unloaded a gutted oceanfront residence for $21 million—$36 million less than he paid for the Tadao Ando-designed beach house about three years ago.
