Some know it as “The Beverly Hillbillies” mansion, others as Chartwell. Now, it has a new name: California’s chart-topper.
The Bel-Air residence of late media mogul A. Jerrold Perenchio has sold for the highest price in California history, about $150 million. The buyer is Lachlan Murdoch, son of Rupert Murdoch and co-chairman of publishing company News Corp., The Times has confirmed.

The spacious estate at 875 Nimes Road in Bel Air, also known as "The Beverly Hillbillies" mansion from the 1960s TV show, finally changed owners for an undisclosed amount, which sources familiar with the deal told the LA Times, was around $150 million.
While the deal would easily beat the previous California record setter, the 123-room Spelling Manor which sold for $120 million in July this year, the Chartwell selling price still comes in roughly $200 million under the original $350 million asking price for which the property came up for sale in 2017—and considerably lower than the $238 million penthouse in the Robert A.M. Stern-designed 220 Central Park South luxury condo tower in New York City, the most expensive home ever sold in the U.S.
