An L.A. Home With Ties to Leonardo DiCaprio and Adrian Grenier Can Now Be Yours for $25 Million
Though its coveted Bird Streets locale high above the Sunset Strip is indeed impressive, perhaps the most intriguing thing about this place is its Tinseltown ties. Not only does the posh pad just happen to sit right next door to a vast multimillion-dollar compound owned by Leonardo DiCaprio, it also has the added cachet of having served as the home of Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) during the fourth season of the popular HBO show Entourage.
Canadian businessman Stan Bharti last picked up the estate from hospitality mogul Sam Nazarian as part of a clandestine off-market deal in 2011 for $14.5 million, with the property selling in just a week due to the unusual concierge service perks that went with it. Now the contemporary structure has popped up on the market again for a speck under $25 million, with James Harris, David Parnes, and Kris Everett of Carolwood Estates sharing the listing.

Spanning 6,300 square feet, with a trio of bedrooms and half a dozen baths spread across three levels, the snazzy villa rests on a hillside parcel of nearly an acre and offers sweeping city lights and ocean vistas from almost every vantage point. A gated entry with water features opens to the all-white house, which has an attached three-car garage and private street parking that can accommodate several more vehicles.
A latticed screen hides the glassy front door, which pivots into a double-height entry foyer donning a transparent floor and a floating staircase. From there, the living room boasts a TV nook off to the side. Walls of glass also spill out to an alfresco entertaining balcony, which overlooks an amenity-filled backyard hosting a Viking-equipped kitchen, a sunken fire pit, a mirrored bar with a craft beer dispenser, and a curvaceous infinity-edge pool with a raised spa.

Other highlights include a formal dining room and a piano lounge with a fireplace and bar, as well as a sleek kitchen outfitted with a marble-clad island, top-tier Miele appliances, and a butler's pantry. The top-floor primary suite is another standout, flaunting a fireplace, a separate office, and a luxe bath holding a wet room with a soaking tub and steam shower, while the lower level features a bar and lounge leading to a movie theater that opens to the outdoors.
Bharti, founder of the Toronto-based merchant bank Forbes & Manhattan, recently sold a waterfront Florida mansion on North Bay Road in Miami Beach that was originally listed for $42.5 million. He acquired the glitzy estate from chicken restaurant magnate Christian de Berdouare and his former TV journalist wife Jennifer Valoppi in 2021 for nearly $30 million.Best of Robb Report

Senate panel targets Biden-era green programs
The Big Story The Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee released text for its portion of the Trump agenda policy bill that Republicans are trying to get across the finish line, becoming the first Senate panel to do so. © Greg Nash The EPW text appears similar to provisions passed by the House. It's not one of the committees that deals with thorny issues like Medicaid or energy tax credits that are more likely to undergo changes in the upper chamber. Like the House version of the bill, the text released by Senate Republicans on Wednesday repeals numerous green programs passed by the Democrats in 2022. This includes a $20 billion program that seeks to provide financing for climate-friendly projects and a $3 billion program that provides grants for underserved communities that want to fight air pollution and climate change. It also repeals other grant programs related to air pollution monitoring and reducing air pollution at schools — as well as a program that seeks to charge oil and gas companies for their excess methane emissions. Like the House version, the Senate bill also includes a provision criticized by Democrats as 'pay-for-play' that allows companies to pay for expedited reviews of energy or other infrastructure projects. And it seeks to repeal a Biden-era regulation that's expected to push the auto market toward selling more electric vehicles. The ultimate text could still change as the parliamentarian has to decide which programs can actually be passed through reconciliation – a process by which the Senate can pass legislation with a simple majority instead of the 60 votes it usually needs to advance bills.

US jobs at risk due to Trump's steel tariff dispute, Canadian leader says
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is pushing back against President Donald Trump's decision to add new 25% tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, calling it an "economic war" against Canadian businesses and citizens. Ford said on ABC News Live that he plans to move manufacturing back to Ontario in response to the tariffs. "We buy $30 billion worth of steel and aluminum from the U.S.," Ford said. "Now we have no choice. We have to start onshoring." The premier warned this move could hurt both countries. He explained that thousands of American workers could lose their jobs if Canada stops sending materials to U.S. factories for processing. Ford also said that the tariffs could cost American consumers about $15 billion through higher prices on products made with steel and aluminum. "It's very short-sighted," Ford said about Trump's decision. He explained that the real problem isn't Canada but China, which he accused of sending its products through other countries to avoid trade rules. When asked about trusting President Trump after previous trade disputes, Ford quoted former President Ronald Reagan, saying, "Trust but verify." He explained that while he loves the American people, he's now "very cautious" about making deals with the current administration. Ford emphasized that Canada remains America's biggest customer and closest ally. He suggested both countries would be better off working together against China instead of fighting each other. "Let's make the strongest, the richest, wealthiest, safest two countries in the world," he said. The premier also highlighted Ontario's resources, including critical minerals and nuclear energy, which he wants to share with the U.S. However, he stressed his main priority is protecting Ontario's businesses and workers during this trade dispute. "My number one job is to protect the people of Ontario, protect the businesses, livelihoods and Ontario's manufacturing might of Canada," Ford said, indicating he's prepared to take whatever steps necessary to defend Canadian interests.

The ‘Mountainhead' House: Finding the Perfect Horrible Location Almost Delayed Jesse Armstrong's Movie
Over four seasons of following the globe-trotting Roy family, 'Succession' creator Jesse Armstrong and production designer Stephen Carter had mastered the art of finding locations that showcased the characters' extreme wealth, but also how uncomfortable and cold these spaces can be for their characters. When Armstrong was on this week's episode of the Filmmaker Toolkit Podcast, to discuss his new HBO movie 'Mountainhead,' about four tech moguls' weekend getaway, he talked about how impersonal these locations can be. 'They're gilded cages, or really more beige prison cells,' said Armstrong. 'That wealth has this kind of international hotel feel to it. I've scouted a lot of these locations and there is a similarity. I guess it's often people who spend time a lot of different places around the globe and maybe they want that uniformity, it doesn't have much aesthetic zing to it.' More from IndieWire The Cast and Crew of 'St. Denis Medical' Found Joy and Warmth in the Show's Hospital Setting 'The Gilded Age' Season 3 Trailer: A New Generation Rises as Carrie Coon Tries to Secure Her Status in High Society In his directorial debut 'Mountainhead,' the importance of finding the right location was right in the title. As Armstrong talked about on the podcast, the accelerated production process, going from pitch to air in less than six months, was motivated by his desire to tap into the audience's in-the-moment anxiety of the dangers of emerging AI and real-life tech moguls like Elon Musk gaining unprecedented political, cultural, and economic power. He would therefore need a single location to serve as the perfect lair from which his fictional tech bros would plot the future of humanity as the world burned down around them. 'There were a number of scary moments on this production where, given the compressed time table that we were trying to achieve, it could have fallen apart over casting, over me flunking and not coming up with a script on time, but not finding the house was one of the major ones,' said Armstrong. 'It was scary when we hadn't found it. And in fact, I was so behind on writing the script, I had to, at a certain point, just leave the team to do it.' Executive producer Jill Footlick, cinematographer Marcel Zyskind, and Carter would continue the search without Armstrong, who acknowledged his list of requirements was significant, including the house needing to be potentially dangerous — to say more would be a spoiler. Beyond the extreme wealth and impersonal coolness, the location simultaneously needed to be visually varied and dynamic. 'I knew that it was almost all going [take place] in this house, and as a director, I was eager that we couldn't, as they say, 'shoot it out,' and get bored of the location too quickly,' said Armstrong. The search took the 'Mountainhead' team to British Columbia, Wyoming, and Colorado, before finding its 21,000-square foot, seven-bedroom estate, in Park City, Utah. 'I think I knew that we had the right place when Marcel, who's Danish, called me up and said he'd come away from this house with just this incredibly strong feeling of depression,' said Armstrong. 'It sort of had shocked him to his core, the kind of the scale of it— it's drilled down into this mountainside over seven floors with a basketball court at the bottom, but has these tremendous vistas out over Utah. It's really a character in the movie, I guess.' After spending the last decade visiting and scouting the international hotel-like blandness of the globe-trotting uber-wealthy, we asked Armstrong if he ever considered what he'd buy if he became mogul-rich. Not surprisingly, he went in the opposite direction of the modern 'Mountainhead' house. 'When we were in Tuscany [for Season 3 of 'Succession'], I mean, it's pretty hard to maybe to screw up a Renaissance villa,' said Armstrong. 'Mountainhead' is now streaming on HBO Max.
