I grew up in L.A. & used to ride my motorcycle through these neighborhood's back in the 80's! Now they are tearing down the history of the city! Really sad! Bring back the good'ol days! But thank Chris- your videos are great!
you honestly think billionaires will let you see their homes? really? money, privacy( i want to make enough $ so i can live away from other ple- Daniel plainview- there will be blood)
This is not one of your home tour videos. It's for explaining trends and exclusivity of real estates. This is for those people who actually want to know more about real estate and not just waste time looking at mega estates.
This are by sure, very lonely people! Maybe they have "friends", like most rich once have! Friends who are not deserving that name! They are there as long if there is money and partys! Like the woman you see on such partys! There is nothing honest! I can say, my friends are there, even if i would just have water to drink. Sometimes we are sitting with 20 people, and some children around the open fire! On the floor! Younger, older, mittel age and we are singing and laughing! Honestly saying, if i see thst houses, i can not sing or play the guitar! But my friends are staying! With or without money! If one of us is sick, we have help! Many people would like to be rich! Well, it is great to have a bit of money on the bank, in case of trouble with health or something like that. It is important to have healthy food and warm winter clothes! I don't want to have so much money that i could easyly could buy an House for 150 millions! i think that i would lose the reality! Now i think of others! Than? I would change! Maybe automatically?
Thanks for the awesome video's Christopher. My wife and I vacation in L.A from time to time. We've driven down some of these famous streets like Mapleton dr and Bel Air rd but without the cool info on who some of the past and present owners are. If we hit the Lotto sometime in the future, we will look you up and have you help us find the perfect Beverly Hills home.
alejandro rodriguez I respect the Hell out of you !!! Well said. Everyone deserves privacy. Not just the rich. I've lived on both sides and I say this multi million dollar facade is false.xoxo
Hey, I just wanted to comment on your video....I really like it and I have shared it with some of my firends on some of my social networking sites! NICE!!!!
love your videos. so much fun to ride along with you, so easy to see why wealthy people go to you for fabulous homes,as you know everything, it seems, about styles and architecture. please keep us entertained with your videos. thanks so much
Okay, so I was up in LA yesterday for the Kings game and decided to do my own drive bye tour through Holmby Hills. I saw just a glimpse of the Playboy Mansion and then the Manor. All I can say is WOW! Amazing they were able to build that massive on such a hilly property.
Awesome I love LA! I appreciate the insight it's amazing to see these houses! I'm looking forward to buy in 8 years :). Which celebrity bought the spelling manor Christophe Choo?
Are you a subscriber? If you are not yet a subscriber, we would be most appreciative if you would subscribe to my channel by clicking here 👉🏻 th-cam.com/users/christophechoo Thank you! 😉🙏🏼👍🏻
I was in Holmby Park just yesterday and I read that the Manor is on the market again. Not sure how much the house has been listed for but do you think you could give us a glimpse on the inside? Especially since Petra Ecclestone has re-designed it! Thanks Christophe for all your beautiful videos! They are very inspirational!
Hello Christophe, I have a question. Do you think I can buy a home in that neighborhood for 10 to 15 million? Right now I live in the Hamptons and I want a vacation home over there. Please let me know, Thank you.
No matter how grand and lavish the house, no matter how expensive and flashy the cars, and no how big their bank accounts, each and every billionaire has had, to date, leave it all behind.
Years ago , we traveled to Los Angeles area and took a tour on through BelAir and Rodeo Dr. I enjoy watching your videos , there's other towns we never visit. St.Louis , Missouri where's the Mansions are and some on the East side of Illinois . There's one home , my spouse would like to move in , it has 240 acres , the yard is manicured , 14,000 sq ft home , 9 bedrooms , 11 bathrooms , much more , for $7 million dollars. Private Gate , Security , next to a golf course
The only feeling I get in this area is mind you own which I can completely understand. Most of these people are accomplished in this area and want their own homes to be private.
Dude sweet! always wanted to see the most expensive stuff on the hills when i went to cali and i never got to go any further than sunset blvd. I hope you upload more videos showing more expensive homes. This motivates me as a college student. I hope you are very successful at selling homes. amen.
Sure there are enough rich people out there to buy these kind of homes, but who is really rich enough to be able to actually live there? What I mean is, the utilities, the maintenance, the cost of living, taxes, etc... all add up even for the richest person.
Christophe that was an awesome tour and very impressive stats and driving ;) I have a few videos but I love the grass roots approach. I just feels real. I'm going to try a few of these for my Montecito and Santa Barbara clients!
Wow ! with the exception of the Spelling estate the prices of those homes were fairly modest 9 yrs. ago ; now look at the prices of many of the properties on that street and that area in general in 2019 ! Mindblowing .
Christoph Choo thank you for taking the time in responding to my comment. I was surprised. You are indeed a successful, tactful gracious m Young man. I admire that asset in you. Good luck in your future.
Excellent video and tour, thank you for posting. I chuckled at “listed @ $28.5 million... quite a grand house, if that’s your style”..... my style is deciding if I should or should not splurge $1.95 for the guacamole at Chipotle. If commision is %10, does that mean mean you’re making 1-2 million per sale?? Incredible.
Mr. Choo - I have a question about the house/mansion that is for sale on the golf coarse. (cannot remember the name of it) but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, you said that property will PROBABLY be torn down. Why would that happen? I'm just curious. Thanks for your time. Carol
thanks for the tours of the neighborhoods of Los Angeles. We are about to move to the area, and I actually have not been there previously. My husband started our business in the LA area, now it is time for us to follow. Maybe in the near future, we will be in need of your services. Have a pleasant day.
Christophe: You mentioned in this video that the Spelling estate was on the market for $150 million. Did it (the estate) sell for far less than the asking price? Your videos are so well done!
I'm interested in knowing the crime rate in these areas. Is a home security system and gated property enough. Or is there some sort of community security service?
A mi no me interesa sus amillos de brillantes ni dus gafas me enamoré de su persona ,y no estoy mendingando smor es simplemente lo wue diento pir supersona ❤❤❤
Didn’t Ellen Degeneres also live on this street? Would you do a tour showing the progress on “The Mapleton Estate”? ….and the renovated Playboy estate? Is it Jay Z and Beyoncé building on around 3 acres on Charing Cross, next to Playboy? Great tour!
@gymjustin1 i don't remember christophe saying that spelling manor was the most expensive house in the world. he said it was the most expensive house in the usa which really doesn't surprise me considering candy spelling liked to splash her husband's hard earned money around.
I grew up in L.A. & used to ride my motorcycle through these neighborhood's back in the 80's! Now they are tearing down the history of the city! Really sad! Bring back the good'ol days! But thank Chris- your videos are great!
Mike Bailey You think the 80s (🤮) are the “good old days”? I feel sorry for you 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
No offense though sorry
I just cant wrap my head around the fact that someone could afford a 150 million dollar home. just mind boggling.
It is amazing!!
You can too x
If I had a trillion dollars I still wouldn't need or want a big fancy expensive home. 👍😁✌
Catherine H. Wow, somebody's green with envy, rotted at heart & extremely bigoted. There's a special place in hell for you.
Elvis Chick Or why anyone woyld ever want to. No thanks.
I wish the 1920's house could be documented before it is knocked down.
I love history. Thank you for sharing. It is a lovely street.
That would be cool!
seems like the video title should be "most expensive hedges/walls in the world. didn't see one house
jeff th That’s how it is because of privacy.

I wasn't aware that the Spelling Estate was so close to Huge Hefner. Learn something new everyday. Thanks 🤓
Just a few doors down!
The Playboy mansion has a "backdoor" entrance. ROTFLMAO
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Very well presented, Christophe...
Thank you for the tour. 🌳
When I was in the area I got the feeling that those people behind the HUGE hedges do not even want to live on the same planet as us.
TimmyME

Nice vid Christophe!!! Thanks for showing!!!
Before the spelling manor was constructed, Bing Crosby had a mansion on that lot.
Yes it did.
hi christophe, i recently bought a mobile home in santa ana for 30K .not bd uh
Riverside cali
alejandro rodriguez I respect the Hell out of you !!! Well said. Everyone deserves privacy. Not just the rich. I've lived on both sides and I say this multi million dollar facade is false.xoxo
He isn’t selling these he’s bills hitting.
I looke to see if chris relied.
I live in a $300 studio, in Rincón Puerto Rico, a block from the beach. I lived in LA, it was over in 1989...
Everything is so perfectly manicured in these rich areas perfect trees,shrubs,walls etc.so perfect.
@Puzzoozoo That is true, most homes in Holmby Hills and Bel Air do not have any sidewalks.
hey os the marble house still for sale cause i could easily buy it
Looks like a nice neighborhood with blue skys.
It looks very pretty. Like an English country lane.
Hey, I just wanted to comment on your video....I really like it and I have shared it with some of my firends on some of my social networking sites! NICE!!!!
Could you give us a tour of Beverly Park one day. Love your tours. So informative. Thank you. I loved your tour of the Zsa Zsa Gabor estate.
I have a few Beverly park tours on this channel. Glad you liked the Zsa Zsa house.
Great video update Christoph.
Great video! !!
@TheREIMaverick Thank you for your kind compliment and for sharing.
Tank you for the tour !
Thank you for posting... interesting tour.
Hello, in hollmby hills it was the manor of humprey bogart. That property was 4sale? How much? Its only curiosity . thanks!! From Spain.
Not sure which property you are referring to.
Christophe, where have your videos been my whole life?? LOL
Lol!
love your videos. so much fun to ride along with you, so easy to see why wealthy people go to you for fabulous homes,as you know everything, it seems, about styles and architecture. please keep us entertained with your videos. thanks so much
emily hayek so glad you enjoy my videos.
Wow. This was 2010. I wonder if you did an update on the same route and same houses and see what the prices are in today's market.
Yes I plan to do a new one as so much has changed it is incredible. I did do one on the street in 2017 I think.
Joe Days on the bel air road there is a 250 million dollar mansion look it up

Hey, what do you have to study to become a Real Estate Agent. My teacher said a Real Estate Agent can start me up on the money pile.
hello christophe, my family and i are thinking of moving to L.A is it possible to buy a house is that neighborhood for 15 to 20 M$ this year ?
I would like to know how much is the average house cost in Beverly Hills and places around it
Most expensive house in the world is in London ,sold for 400,00,000 and the largest house in the world is in England 252,000 sq ft
us americans love american propaganda it makes us feel good about our selves
There are no HOA fees in Holmby Hills as it is not a gated community.
Okay, so I was up in LA yesterday for the Kings game and decided to do my own drive bye tour through Holmby Hills. I saw just a glimpse of the Playboy Mansion and then the Manor. All I can say is WOW! Amazing they were able to build that massive on such a hilly property.
Yes a 24 year old heiress from the UK bought it for $85 million a very lovely young lady.
So glad you like it!
Awesome I love LA! I appreciate the insight it's amazing to see these houses! I'm looking forward to buy in 8 years :). Which celebrity bought the spelling manor Christophe Choo?
That was quite fascinating! Thank you.
This video was 8 years ago so I wonder if the house at 3:15 was torn down?
Yes my clients bought that house and tore it down and are in construction building a 36,000 square foot French Villa.
Thanks Christophe.
Why don't you do the tour again 12 years later. Greetings from Belgium
@TriniNY My pleasure, thanks for the compliment.
3:47 what type of house is this. Tq
A modern contemporary house built about 20 years ago.
I’ve driven by these homes a couple of times and they’re all amazing
All of these walls, is it for security
And privacy.
nice, how do i start in real estate? i'm starting college for business administration concentrating in finance and would like to make a lot of money.
Absolutely Beautiful and Exciting to be there
He was a RnB singer back in the 90s but had to stop because he started having kids. He now does gospel music.

Yes Johnny, it is back on the market for $165 million, I cannot post or show any videos of the home, we know Petra and that is not allowed.
i love your real estate drives.. thanks!
Wow watched the whole vid cus of the title for a 2 sec clip of the home, coooool
Christopher I’m staying at 63rd st NY,NY. Are you familiar with billionaires row in NYC?
Yes I am 57th is the place to be in NYC.
Hello Christophe, I have a question. Do you think I can buy a home in that neighborhood for 10 to 15 million? Right now I live in the Hamptons and I want a vacation home over there. Please let me know, Thank you.
You did such an amazing job on this video I was not disappointed at all great job.
Thank you, I have to do a new one for the street.
l will take two! who do I Wright a check to?
I recommend if you like looking at mansions in Beverly hills/holmby hills you look at owlwood which has 10 acres and was built in the 1930s.
Great property. Back on the market for $150,000,000
@xScared4Lifex I do know Mauricio, thank you for the kind words! :)
I wanted to see a house like thew title said, disappointing that its nothing but a street and some gates!
We have many other videos of homes themselves.
Very nice presentation. Sounds like you know your business. Well done and enjoyed very much
Thank you! 😉
I agree 👏
Family. House. Photos
No matter how grand and lavish the house, no matter how expensive and flashy the cars, and no how big their bank accounts, each and every billionaire has had, to date, leave it all behind.

any billion dollar homes for sale, christophe
No, however there is one almost completed that we were told will list for $500,000,000
Years ago , we traveled to Los Angeles area
and took a tour on through BelAir and Rodeo Dr.
I enjoy watching your videos , there's other
towns we never visit. St.Louis , Missouri
where's the Mansions are and some on the East side
of Illinois . There's one home , my spouse would like
to move in , it has 240 acres , the yard is manicured ,
14,000 sq ft home , 9 bedrooms , 11 bathrooms ,
much more , for $7 million dollars.
Private Gate , Security , next to a golf course
Why is every other house on this street for sale???
The only feeling I get in this area is mind you own which I can completely understand. Most of these people are accomplished in this area and want their own homes to be private.
Very true, at this level of wealth privacy is one of the most important criteria.
God bless you🙏💐💐💐💐🙏

I hope you upload more videos showing more expensive homes. This motivates me as a college student. I hope you are very successful at selling homes. amen.
It does seem odd, but it is very difficult in LA to get everyone to agree to an HOA association.
Sure there are enough rich people out there to buy these kind of homes, but who is really rich enough to be able to actually live there? What I mean is, the utilities, the maintenance, the cost of living, taxes, etc... all add up even for the richest person.
It's tremendously expensive to operate these homes.
+Christophe Choo I'm interesting in buying a home in the range 2.6-3.5m... Whats the cost to operate these homes?
Can you email me christophe@christophechoo.com
Christophe Choo .Depends on how It's worked. I'm sure the property taxes are astronomical
Go Pro Ben As the wealthy peeps say,”If you have to ask about upkeep you can’t afford it”
Christophe that was an awesome tour and very impressive stats and driving ;)
I have a few videos but I love the grass roots approach. I just feels real. I'm going to try a few of these for my Montecito and Santa Barbara clients!
Wow ! with the exception of the Spelling estate the prices of those homes were fairly modest 9 yrs. ago ; now look at the prices of many of the properties on that street and that area in general in 2019 ! Mindblowing .
Prices have gone up substantially and 11 years ago I said buy anything and everything you can on this street and a few of my smart clients did.
Can't get anything for that now. We sold 2.9 acres there 18 months ago for $36 million.
@@Christophechoo I certainly believe it.. I'm surprised it's not for more . I'm assuming there's a possibility the house there will be torn down .
Did Johnny Mathis rebuild on the same property after the fire? He was supposed to have lived in the Hollywood Hills. Is that the same as Holmby Hills?
not sure
Christoph Choo thank you for taking the time in responding to my comment. I was surprised. You are indeed a successful, tactful gracious m
Young man. I admire that asset in you. Good luck in your future.
Thank you so much Barbara! Have a wonderful day or evening.
Excellent video and tour, thank you for posting. I chuckled at “listed @ $28.5 million... quite a grand house, if that’s your style”..... my style is deciding if I should or should not splurge $1.95 for the guacamole at Chipotle.
If commision is %10, does that mean mean you’re making 1-2 million per sale?? Incredible.
That is not the case with commissions.
Mr. Choo - I have a question about the house/mansion that is for sale on the golf coarse. (cannot remember the name of it) but I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, you said that property will PROBABLY be torn down. Why would that happen? I'm just curious. Thanks for your time. Carol
Was sold cheap, mostly likely will be torn down to build a new estate, with views of the gold course. Bigger, better, and newer.
thanks for the tours of the neighborhoods of Los Angeles. We are about to move to the area, and I actually have not been there previously. My husband started our business in the LA area, now it is time for us to follow. Maybe in the near future, we will be in need of your services. Have a pleasant day.
Christophe: You mentioned in this video that the Spelling estate was on the market for $150 million. Did it (the estate) sell for far less than the asking price? Your videos are so well done!
Thank you, at the time it sold for $85 million if I recall.
2017 update. Most of these home values have doubled since the making of this (2010) video.
Or more. ;)
I'm interested in knowing the crime rate in these areas. Is a home security system and gated property enough. Or is there some sort of community security service?
Most houses have ADT armed response.
adam damstr No but armed police will show up
have you ever been inside the manor
Yes many times. When the Spellings owned it and since the new owner bought it.
Excellent presentation and well paced, Mr. Choo. Enjoy your tours and if I’m ever in the market or know someone who is, I’ll refer them your way. 👍

no
I love your tours and all the great information you provide. Great videos, I'd hire you as a realtor if I weren't a broke college student lol
Thank you!
To what degree, if any, does it matter in the selling as to who owned it previously?
In our world buyers like to know who owned the house before.
So beautiful made of my dreams so quiet lucky people
the space and land jynormously
grand
Goodluck
