Billionaires Darwin Deson, Michael Dell, and Tony Pritzker are now trying to offload the homes.
Their properties for sale range from a $31 million penthouse in Boston to a $195 million LA estate.
More expensive or unique homes may take longer to find buyers.
Even billionaires move. And while the housing market isn’t good for sellers at any level, it can sometimes be especially difficult to sell expensive homes.
Buyers at higher price points don’t always like properties customized for the previous owner, and the extra cost of repairs and maintenance can also deter deep pockets. Some people struggling to get rid of luxury properties lower their asking prices. Others forgo selling them altogether, choosing to either auction them off or rent them out.
Because billionaires are subject to higher taxes in some states, there has been a lot of movement at the top of the housing market.
Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page both bought homes in Miami after the state’s proposed billionaire tax forced businesses out of California.
Mark Zuckerberg, who has properties all over the country, has recently left his anchor in South Florida.
Places like South Florida and Nevada have recently seen an influx of billionaires, but on the backend, they’re leaving some assets behind. The question is: who is going to buy them?
Here’s a roundup of billionaire-owned properties on the market through April 24, from Boston to California. They are presented in alphabetical order by last name.

A Kuwaiti billionaire is trying to offload several of his US assets at auction at once.
Bassam Alghanim, who inherited a stake in his father’s company, Alghanim Industries, has nine Bel-Air parcels with seven homes he is looking to sell.
A home on the property was listed in October 2025 for $48.9 million, and the entire collection starts at $105 million.
The listed home is a 1960s Mediterranean-style, 11,000-square-foot mansion with botanical gardens and guest house.
The auction, which begins in May, will first auction each house individually, then the collection as a whole. Any offer net Alghanim – whether it is the sum of each individual sale or a one-time purchase offer – will be chosen.
Alghanim is not involved in his father’s business, which is chaired by his brother Qutayba Alghanim, but has a net worth of $1.4 billion as of March 2018, according to Forbes.

Late tech billionaire Darwin Deason put his beachfront estate in La Jolla, California on the market for an impressive $108 million in 2024 before he died in September 2025.
Deson, who sold his IT and business process outsourcing company Affiliated Computer Services to Xerox in 2009 for $6.4 billion, initially spent $26 million on the house and adjoining land, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Over the course of nearly six years, Deson poured an additional $60 million into transforming the property into a breathtaking 13,000-square-foot mansion inspired by Versailles and the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, a five-star retreat for celebrities in the south of France.
The estate includes a seven-bedroom main house and a three-bedroom guest house, with 14 full bathrooms and three half-bathrooms. It also includes a pool, two cabanas, a fitness center, and an elevated, private beach with sand imported from the Augusta, Georgia, golf course where the famous Masters tournament is played.
The property received a price cut in February and is now listed for $92.5 million.
If the property sells for anywhere near its listing price, it will more than double the San Diego County record of $44.1 million set by billionaire Egon Durban in 2023.
Before his death, Deson was worth $1.3 billion, according to Forbes.

Dell Technologies Chairman and CEO Michael Dell is no stranger to eye-popping real estate.
In 2015, he was the buyer of the most expensive home ever sold in New York City, a $100 million penthouse overlooking Central Park on West 57th Street, also known as Billionaire’s Row. He dubs his children “The Castle” in a 33,000-square-foot Austin compound that features indoor and outdoor pools.
As of April, Dell’s net worth was $178.1 billion, according to Forbes.
Now, Dell is looking to unload the Boston property it bought in 2020.
He was selling two penthouses, but one of them, which he initially listed for $34 million and eventually dropped to $29 million, sold for an undisclosed amount in August, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The property still on the market right now is a $9.45 million penthouse on the 54th floor of Boston’s Millennium Tower, located just steps from the iconic Boston Commons Park. The property features floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views of the city and Charles River.

Tony Pritzker, chairman and CEO of Pritzker Private Capital, built one of the largest and most luxurious homes in the country.
Pritzker and his ex-wife Jeanne spent six years building a 50,000-square-foot megamansion on a hill in Beverly Crest on the Westside of Los Angeles.
After their contentious divorce earlier this year, the home landed on the market in October for $195 million.
The estate has 16 bedrooms and 27 bathrooms over six acres. Amenities include a tennis court, basketball court, cliffside pool, detached guest house, bowling alley, and private movie theater. The home’s perch also offers stunning 180-degree views of the Los Angeles skyline.
Since first coming on the market, the home has seen significant price cuts and was recently listed for $135 million.
According to Forbes, Pritzker’s net worth is $4.4 billion as of April.
Two California billionaires are trying to break a record with a Colorado compound sale.
California billionaires Linda and Stewart Resnick have listed the most expensive home currently on the market: a $300 million compound in Aspen, Colorado.
The 74.1-acre property was built in 1994 and features an 18,466-square-foot main house. The sale also comes with plans for a 19,750-square-foot property that could be built alongside the main house, according to Realtor.com.
According to Forbes, the property currently has 18 bedrooms, 20 full bathrooms and four half bathrooms. The house was designed by Peter Dominick, who designed Disneyland’s Grand Californian Hotel and Spa.
If sold for the $300 million price tag, this home would be the most expensive home ever sold in America.
Resnick founded the Wonderful Company — a holding company that owns brands such as POM Wonderful and FIJI Water — and has a company net worth of $10.8 billion, according to Forbes.
