January 13th 2025.
The devastating wildfires that have been ravaging Los Angeles since January 7 have caused immense destruction, including the loss of many beloved homes, landmarks, and attractions. Among the properties that have been lost is a stunning mansion that gained fame for its role in the popular TV series Succession. The $125 million Pacific Palisades mansion, known as the San Onofre estate, was purchased by Luminar Technologies CEO Austin Russell in 2021 and was featured prominently in the show's final season.
For fans of the show, the San Onofre estate served as the luxurious residence for the Roy siblings, played by Jeremy Strong, Kieran Culkin, and Sarah Snook, as they navigated their tumultuous relationship with their powerful father and business mogul, Logan Roy. The sprawling one-acre property, with its winding driveway, infinity pool, and breathtaking city views, provided the perfect backdrop for the show's dramatic scenes.
Sadly, the mansion has now been completely destroyed in the wildfires, leaving behind nothing but charred debris and exposed metal. Photos of the once grand 18-bedroom, 6-bathroom home now show a scene of devastation, with ash and debris scattered across the ground. The fire has also caused extensive damage to the interior of the mansion, with water seen streaming through the ceiling and the outdoor pool now filled with black water.
It's a heartbreaking loss for the previous owner, a businessman who had recently rented out the property for an eye-watering $450,000 a month. The mansion boasted luxurious amenities such as multiple pools, a 20-seat movie theatre, a car gallery, a ballistic-safe room, and a massage/spa room. The outdoor space featured a zen garden with a massive bronze Buddha statue and a retractable sunroof for stargazing from the master bedroom.
This avant-garde masterpiece, built just four years ago, was considered the most expensive home in the Pacific Palisades area. Now, it's nothing but a memory, along with several other properties of Hollywood history that have also succumbed to the devastating wildfires. Among them is a 19th-century mansion that recently appeared in the comedy-drama Hacks, with only its facade remaining standing. The iconic Palisades Charter High School, known for its roles in movies like Carrie and Freaky Friday, has also been destroyed.
It's a tragic loss for the community, and our hearts go out to those who have lost their homes and livelihoods.
