Former Domino's Pizza boss Don Meij offloads LA Bel Air mansion
Former Domino's Pizza boss Don Meij has sold his vast Bel Air trophy home in Los Angeles. The 1550sqm mansion, which boasts eight bedrooms and 15 bathrooms, fetched $US20m ($31.4m), some 4 per cent less than its $US20,875,000 purchase price in 2021. Factoring in currency exchange benefits, Meij likely took a profit as that equated to $28.3m in 2021 and $31.4m on its recent sale. Meij, who started working as a pizza delivery driver in Brisbane's Redcliffe in 1987, had funded the purchase when selling his Aspen retreat for $US10.25m in 2021, having purchased the chalet in 2013 for $US3,375,000. The Bel Air Road mansion sits on 2000sqm overlooking Stone Canyon Reservoir, sometimes referred to as LA's Lake Como, along with the city skyline. Its luxury features include an indoor pool and spa, home theatre and wine cellar, with multiple patios, according listing agent David Kramer at Compass. Meij first listed the hillside property in 2023 seeking $US29.95m, then seeking $US27.9m, which was reduced by late 2024 to $US22.95m, according to The LA market had been sluggish since a real estate transfer tax rise came into effect in April 2023 imposing a 4 per cent tax on sales over $US5m, up from 0.45 per cent, and a 5.5 per cent tax over $US10m. It was estimated that tax would raise $US600m to $US1.1bn annually; however, by late 2024 the tax had brought in just $480m given the lack of sales turnover, according to a study by the University of California. Revenues are directed to affordable housing production and homelessness prevention. Meij, who made headlines in 2018 when his $36.8m chief executive officer salary ranked as the biggest corporate pay packet in Australia at the time, was Domino's CEO for 22 years, until November 2024. He now resides in an apartment overlooking the Brisbane River at Newstead.
