The ultra high-end Los Angeles real estate market is extremely strange at the moment. A couple days ago, a nearly-completed 100,000 square-foot mansion called “The One” defaulted on its construction loans and was forced into receivership after it could not find a buyer.

Down the block from Joe’s new beach shack you’ll find Pierce Brosnan’s absolutely stunning 13,000 square-foot multi-structure beachfront compound. Despite being absolutely perfect, Pierce could not find a buyer at his $100 million asking price for over a year, so he just took it off the market.
And then there’s this latest news involving Snapchat’s billionaire CEO Evan Spiegel. According to Dirt.com, Evan and his supermodel wife Miranda Kerr just paid $100 million for a mid-construction property in an area called Holmby Hills.
