The One is a private residence in Bel Air, Los Angeles, California, United States. It is a compound of a main residence and three smaller houses in the modernist style and was developed by Nile Niami. The property is 105,000 square feet (9,800 m2) on 3.8 acres (1.5 ha).
Construction began in 2014. Following delays, it was completed in 2021. Niami initially sought to sell the mansion for $500 million, but his company fell into bankruptcy and the building sold at auction for $126 million, a record auction sale price in the United States.
It’s owned by Richard Saghian who is a fast fashion douchebag.

I saw an article about how rich people build museums attached to their homes. They get a tax deduction from the building costs, and don’t have to pay property taxes on that part. They use them for private parties, weddings, etc.
They’re supposed to be open to the public, but of course nobody from the government checks into that. The reporter wasn’t able to get into any of them.
I’m assuming that’s what the “philanthropy wing” is about.
If you have to finagle a tax break into it, it’s a pretty weak ass show of wealth.
Arm the homeless, forcibly take it over.
I used to be a forklift driver in a warehouse that was 30,000 square feet smaller than this house
How much of the 3.8 acres is just driveway and parking lot?
Technically speaking it doesn’t matter because the philanthropy wing is a carbon offset.
this house became notorious a few years ago from a truly obnoxious YouTube house tour the builder gave a knockoff Robin Leach, then for hosting massive covid-rule breaking parties.
the video is quite a watch if you can get through it, I hated everyone involved
the gall of this guy to act like his house is sustainable
also apparently hes bankrupt

It costs $50,000 a month in electricity costs to cool during the summer
Thanks. I hated it even though I only watched a few bits and pieces.
knockoff Robin Leach
Indeed.
A comment…
As someone who has driven past this house maybe 1,000 times, I can tell you IRL this place looks like a military compound or a museum, not a home.
