November 2025 Edition
At One Global Advisory, we take discretion as seriously as we take due diligence. While we never spill on client transactions, we do keep tabs on what’s already making headlines. So here’s your curated look at this month’s biggest celebrity and athlete property plays.
Over the past month, celebrities and athletes continued to buy, build, and reposition properties in ways that moved the needle in their respective markets.
Kim Kardashian expands her Hidden Hills footprint
Kim quietly acquired a $7.1M four-bedroom home next door to her primary estate, further consolidating her control of the block.

Kanye West sells his 6,713-acre Wyoming ranch
Kanye West closed a quiet but significant divestment in October, selling his 6,713-acre Bighorn Mountain Ranch in Wyoming back to its original owners, the Flitner family. He originally purchased the property in 2019 for roughly $14.5M and exited this fall for a reported $16.9M. The ranch includes a three-story lodge, multiple guest cabins, a sauna, helicopter pads, and expansive wilderness acreage.

Mark Wahlberg acquires a $37M Delray Beach mansion
Wahlberg picked up a fully furnished, Italian-inspired estate in Stone Creek Ranch for roughly $37M in early November.
This aligns with the larger trend of high-net-worth migration into South Florida’s luxury enclaves, where furnished mega-estates are increasingly purchased turnkey.

Why This Matters
1. Ultra-high-net-worth buyers continue expanding footprints
Kardashian’s adjacency buy underscores a growing trend among top-tier buyers: securing perimeter control for privacy, long-term planning, and brand protection.
2. Florida’s luxury market remains a magnet for celebrity capital
Wahlberg’s move reinforces the ongoing shift of A-list money toward Florida’s gated luxury communities, where furnished, move-in-ready estates command a premium.
3. Athletes are committing to custom-build longevity
Biles and Owens highlight a broader pattern: athletes investing in highly personalized, purpose-built homes rather than relying on the resale market.
4. Strategic listings signal portfolio recalibration, not distress
Rodgers listing now reflects timing and lifestyle shifts, not market weakness. High-profile sellers continue to act independently of broader market cycles.
5. LA’s ultra-luxury segment remains in its own economic universe
Zedd’s $85M double-listing confirms that the top of the LA market continues to operate on separate fundamentals, driven more by global wealth than domestic interest rates.
Final Sip
UHNW and celebrity athlete buyers move on their own timelines. Despite the overall market, this corner of real estate never goes quiet.
