After nearly four years on the market and a few sizable price cuts, a 123-room Holmby Hills mansion known as The Manor has sold for $120 million, making it the most expensive home sold in LA County.
The seller is Formula One racing heiress Petra Ecclestone, who bought The Manor from Candy Spelling in 2011, paying $85 million in cash. She gave the home a flashy makeover, adding a nightclub in the basement and tanks for exotic fish.

$120,000,000 is the new record to set in the California real estate market, and the home to beat is the infamous Spelling Manor in Holmby Hills.
The 56,000 square foot home was originally built in the 1980s for TV producer Aaron Spelling and his wife Candy Spelling. With 14 bedrooms and 27 bathrooms, the home is one of the largest in the country. It sits on 4.7 acres of land that includes a swimming pool, a tennis court, a bowling alley, a screening room, a barber shop and several other unusual amenities.
The purchase has exceeded that of the $117.5 million home in Woodside sold to Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son in 2012. But with few homes as large and as well located as Spelling Manor, the record may be unbroken for years to come.

The good news: Tori Spelling's old bedroom has been preserved inside, complete with Steven Tyler posters and coffin for daytime sleeping.
The bad news: the master suite is so vast that the toilet is located an 8-minute walk from the bed.
You think the master bedroom only has one toilet?
Point taken. Correction: nearest toilet.
Yeah, but there's a monorail, so it only takes 46 seconds to get there.
Of course! Also, the master suite alone is 5 bedrooms, 7 baths and a tennis court.
