Real Estate

Suzanne owned several impressive homes in Southern California during her lifetime.

At one point in 2008, Suzanne and her husband Alan listed a large mansion that sits on 73 acres in Palm Springs for $35 million. They owned this property since the late 1970s. In 2018, the price was more than halved to $14.5 million and then slashed again in 2019 to just $9.5 million. When the price was reduced in 2020, so was the acreage. By this point the property had been reduced to 20 acres. In May 2021 they accepted $8.5 million. Here is a video tour of their former Palm Springs mansion:

They also previously owned 480 acres of in northern Palm Springs which in 2018 they donated to the Coachella Valley Conservation Commission.

In 1999 they spent $2.3 million for an oceanfront property in Malibu. In 2001 they bought the lot next door for $2.35 million. With the second purchase they had an unreal 190-feet of ocean frontage. A fire in 2007 destroyed the homes. Suzanne and Alan opted not to rebuild and instead sold the two empty lots in 2016 for $12.03 million. Eventually a 5,000 square foot elaborate mansion was built on the lots. In late 2021 the new mansion was listed for $40 million. As of this writing it has not yet sold and the asking price has been reduced to just under $30 million. Here is a video of the new mansion on Suzanne's former lots:
