Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt just bought one of the largest mansions in LA — and it's bigger than the Taj Mahal
The former CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, just secured the keys to the Spelling kingdom. Schmidt and his wife, Wendy, dropped a cool $110 million on Spelling Manor, the Wall Street Journal reported. The legendary property spans over 56,000 square feet, making it one of the largest homes in Los Angeles. Schmidt's recent acquisition is now tied for the second most expensive home sale of 2025. The 100-plus room estate, known as the Manor, is larger than both the White House and the Taj Mahal. 7 The massive home sits on 4.6 acres. AP 7 Eric and Wendy Schmidt. REUTERS 7 The home is variously known as Spelling Manor and Candyland, after its former owners, Aaron and Candy Spelling. ASSOCIATED PRESS Construction on limestone-clad mansion was completed in 1988 by legendary TV producer Aaron Spelling — the mastermind behind such hits as 'Dynasty,' 'Charlie's Angels' and '90210.' For a time, it was recognized as the largest single-family home in Los Angeles County, and its successive sales repeatedly notched record prices. The mansion is famous for its grand size and outlandish amenities. Its over-the-top interiors during the Spelling era included a two-lane bowling alley, multiple gift-wrapping rooms, a dedicated doll collection room, a 20-seat cinema and 27 bathrooms. Candy Spelling, the widow of Aaron Spelling and mother of actress Tori Spelling, sold the home in for $85 million in 2011 to the Formula One heiress Petra Ecclestone. The 22-year-old carried out a major redesign of the palatial home, reportedly opting for a more contemporary look. 7 The mansion can reportedly accommodate parking for 100-plus cars.

The 70-year-old will carry out a major remodel and rebrand of the Manor, according to the Journal. In addition to simplifying the floor plan and making it more energy efficient, he reportedly intends to rechristen the home '594,' after its Mapleton Drive address. Despite the eye-watering price, Schmidt can congratulate himself on paying less that the previous owner. The Manor last changed hands when Ecclestone offloaded the property to an unidentified buyer — reportedly a Saudi national — for slightly less than $120 million in 2019, setting yet another California record. 7 Schmidt is planning to renovate the home for simplicity and energy efficiency. Getty Images 7 The Schmidts reportedly plan to use the property for philanthropic events. Getty Images for LACMA The home was most recently listed for $137.5 million after several years of price cuts. Carolwood Estates agents Drew Fenton and Linda May represented the seller and the buyer, respectively. Schmidt and his wife, both philanthropists, plan to use the property to hold meetings and events for local nonprofits, the Journal reported. The pair own an impressive portfolio of other trophy homes across London, New York, California, DC, Florida and Massachusetts.

Spelling said this week on an episode of her misSPELLING podcast . 'It's like an OnlyFans for feet,' Spelling told her guest Taylor Dayne of the subscription-based website. 'First of all, this kid told me about it. He started pitching this like three years ago, and he's 12. And I'm like, 'What is this? I don't know what it is.' People post photos of their feet, and they make money. And there's like niches. You know, people have fetishes. They want pictures of dirty feet They want pictures of weird toes, they want pictures.' Spelling said he son Finn, whom she shares with ex- husband Dean McDermott, recognized his mother's fame would lead to a huge number of signups, which would in turn help boost his allowance.

Imagine how much money you would make,'' the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum said. 'And he knows, if I make money, I make it for them.' Earlier this year, Spelling caught heat on social media after she revealed that she stripped down for a massage from her 7-year-old son 'in exchange for an allowance.' 'Beau said he wanted to do chores in exchange for an allowance … solid plan,' she captioned an Instagram Story snap captured by Page Six , PEOPLE and other outlets in which she was pictured lying face down with a pink blanket covering her bottom half while her son rubbed her legs. But on X, many users didn't find Spelling's post endearing with a number of people calling her image 'disturbing' with others wondering 'WTF' was going through her mind. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. ' I am once again begging rich people to just be normal,' one person wrote, with another adding, 'That's beyond inappropriate.' 'GIRL, PAY FOR AN ACTUAL MASSAGE,' a third critic blasted in all caps. 'What in the absolute f—?' a fourth person asked. 'The fact that she doesn't seem to see anything wrong with posting this is pretty disturbing,' another comment read . 'Whatever happened to doing the dishes? Take out the trash? Pick up dog poop?' a sixth person questioned . Spelling has a close bond with all of her children. Last year, during episode of her misSPELLING podcast, the Sharknado actress shared that she used to have McDermott hang out with her while she was in the bathroom relieving herself. Telling listeners she hadn't 'pooped (or) peed alone in 18 years,' Spelling admitted that 'first it was Dean, then it was kids.' 'Beau still stands there and stares and talks to me while I'm pooping,' she said at the time (per PEOPLE ). 'I think I function better with people.' mdaniell@ Read More Canada Toronto Maple Leafs Music Toronto & GTA Columnists
