According to a press release from John Aaroe Group, which repped Persson in the deal, this is the highest price ever paid for a house in Beverly Hills and the sale closed in a very speedy six days. Persson took every last bananas thing in the house, "from luxury furnishings to exotic electronics," to the towers of M&Ms, giant grenade art, the replica of James Dean's motorcycle, the 18-foot onyx dining room table ("that includes place settings by Roberto Cavalli at a cost of $3,700 each"), and three "high-definition 90-inch television screens [that] bring panoramic views of Los Angeles from the roof into the down stairs lounge."

The 23,000-square-foot, Contemporary-style home, with a wall of glass that provides a 280-degree view of the City of Angels and the Pacific Ocean below, triggered a bidding war between four buyers. Persson quickly decided he wanted the home, paid all cash, and closed in six days, according to the agents who sold him the property.

The estate was a speculative (or “spec”) home, built without a committed buyer by QVC handbag-seller and Los Angeles home developer Bruce Makowsky, who listed the home for $85 million in September. It comes completely furnished—from Hermès chairs and throws, to Roberto Cavalli sheets, to 24 Cavalli-designed $3,700-per place settings, to a one-of-a-kind living room set designed by Bentley, according to the agents who brokered the deal. “I provided eight OralB 3D Braun toothbrushes,” said Branden Williams, the Hilton & Hyland agent who listed the home. “I’m tired of the line ‘Just bring your toothbrush.’”

One of the more impressive features of the home is a car lift, which moves cars to underground storage. Inside the home is an image of James Dean and a replica of his famed motorcycle; the home also comes with a chromed Ma Deuce machine gun. A candy room features large M&M’s character sculptures; there is a bar and the home sale includes some cases of Dom Perignon. In addition to the ubiquitous Los Angeles infinity pool, this estate also boasts a large hot tub that Williams refers to as the “poolcuzzi.” There is an 18-seat home theater and three high-definition 90-inch television screens. The home has eight bedrooms and 15 bathrooms, each bath equipped with a Toto Neorest toilet (which cost $5,600 per unit, according to the press release).
