In 2019, The Manor, formerly known as Spelling Manor, set a new real estate record when it sold for just shy of $120 million ((£95m) – the highest selling price ever in California at the time.

The property was off-loaded by owner Petra Ecclestone, the daughter of Formula One billionaire, Bernie Ecclestone, who made a serious profit on her initial investment. According to Mansion Global, she reportedly purchased the pad in 2011 for $85 million (£67m) and originally wanted $200 million (£158m) for the 123-room residence.

In February 2022, the iconic estate was back on the market with Carlwood Estates for $165 million (£131m), before the price was cut to $137.5 million (£109m) in April 2024.
