We’ve Got the Moves
March 2026 Edition
At One Global Advisory, discretion is non-negotiable. We do not comment on private client transactions or confidential activity. What we do track is what has already made headlines. Below is a curated snapshot of notable celebrity and athlete real estate moves reported from the last week of November 2025 through today.
As always, this is about market signals, not gossip
Since we last spoke in January, the celebrity-and-athlete real estate beat has been busy doing what it does best: buying bigger, listing prettier, and pretending a bowling alley is somehow a normal household feature. In other words, the rich remain committed to keeping brokers employed.
Billy Joel and the Extremely Relatable Struggle of Selling a Modest Little Compound
Billy Joel finally moved out, at least on paper. His former Long Island estate, MiddleSea, sold for $28.75 million, setting a residential sales record for Long Island outside the Hamptons. After multiple listing tweaks and parcel reshuffling, the Piano Man proved that sometimes the move is not “don’t go changing,” it is “fine, split the compound and let’s get this done.”
Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song Said, “What if Parenting, But With a Bocce Court?”
Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song made a classic Hollywood parenting play: sell one luxury house, buy another one with even more room for children, guests, and probably approximately fourteen toy-related landmines. The couple bought a Sherman Oaks home for $10.3 million after selling their Toluca Lake place for $14.24 million, and the new setup comes with the full celebrity starter pack: game room, gym, sports court, private theater, pool, and bocce court. Casual.
Kylie Jenner Continues Her Side Hustle as Mayor of Hidden Hills
Kylie Jenner also decided one listing was simply not enough drama for one news cycle. She put her longtime Hidden Hills mansion on the market for about $20.25 million while also shopping her Holmby Hills property, all while continuing work on a new Hidden Hills compound on a five-acre parcel she bought in 2020. Translation: same zip code, different level of ambition.
Drew Barrymore Renovated a 1747 Estate for Two Years, Which Is Either Romantic or a Cry for Help
Drew Barrymore listed her renovated Harrison, New York estate for just under $5 million after pouring two years of work into it, which is a very celebrity way of saying, “I lovingly restored this, and now it can be your emotionally significant problem.” The 1747 property includes a guest cottage, a conservatory, and enough storybook charm to make buyers briefly believe they, too, are the kind of person who knows what a conservatory is for.
Orlando Bloom Listed the Malibu House That Looks Like It Owns Better Linen Than You
Over in Malibu, Orlando Bloom listed his colorful beach house for $12 million. The place has ocean views, private beach access, a pool, spa, barrel sauna, and a design collaboration with artist Roy McMakin. So yes, it sounds exactly like the sort of house one buys after deciding beige is for civilians.
Francis Ngannou Chose Dubai and Frankly Did Not Arrive Quietly
On the athlete side, Francis Ngannou planted a very large flag in Dubai, buying a five-bedroom residence at Armani Beach Residences on Palm Jumeirah for Dh92.5 million. The branded beachfront home spans 11,521 square feet and includes a private pool, which feels appropriately subtle for a former UFC heavyweight champion.
Matt Holliday Listed a House With Its Own Baseball Field, Because Subtlety Was Never the Assignment
Retired MLB star Matt Holliday listed his Oklahoma estate for $12 million, and yes, it includes its own baseball field. Because if you are going to sell a former ballplayer’s property, you might as well lean in and give the buyer a chance to practice their swing before they have even unpacked. The 136-acre spread also includes what has been described as a “$2 million pool,” which is either a luxury amenity or a reminder that chlorine, too, has entered its private-equity era.
James Shields Listed a House That Basically Dares You to Have Weak Hobbies
Retired pitcher James Shields joined the spring housing shuffle as well, listing his custom Rancho Santa Fe estate for $23 million. Highlights include a bowling alley, photography studio, putting green, and a gym inspired by Fenway Park. It is the kind of home that says, “I would like my recovery, hobbies, and nostalgia all under one roof, please.”
Zlatan’s Former Ski House Is on the Market, and Even the Real Estate Seems to Have an Ego
And in Sweden, a ski home built for Zlatan Ibrahimović hit the market for 30 million Swedish krona, complete with ski-in/ski-out access, a sauna, and a theater. Which is perfectly on-brand for Zlatan, because even his former house apparently refuses to enter a room quietly.
Final Sip
The broader takeaway: even with a choppier luxury market, celebrity and athlete real estate still rewards good branding, good timing, and properties with one completely unnecessary feature that makes everyone say, “Honestly? I get it.” This quarter, that feature appears to be everything from private sports facilities to branded beachfront glamour to enough acreage to lose a Range Rover in.
