Google co-founder Sergey Brin has purchased a $50 million home in Malibu, just doors away from another $35 million property he already owns in the area. The new 8,000-square-foot estate sits on 1 acre and features ocean views, a guest house, and other luxury amenities. This purchase comes as Brin has moved 15 of his limited liability companies out of California ahead of a proposed billionaire tax.
Why it matters
Brin's real estate moves in Malibu highlight the continued influx of tech billionaires and other wealthy individuals to the exclusive coastal community, even as California considers new taxes targeting the ultra-rich. The purchase also demonstrates Brin's commitment to the Malibu area, where he now owns two high-end properties in close proximity.
The details
Brin's new $50 million home was originally listed for $65 million in 2024, just two years after the previous owner bought it for $20.75 million. The two-story Mediterranean-style villa, built in the 1980s, was recently refurbished to have a more contemporary farmhouse aesthetic. The estate includes features like private stairs to Point Dume Beach, a home theater, spa facilities, and a chef's kitchen with skylights.
- Brin purchased the new $50 million Malibu home in July 2026.
- Brin bought his previous $35 million Malibu property in 2023.
