The legend of Barca spent a lot to buy the Bonkers Encino Spec mansion in LA at a great price

Gérard Lopez may not be a household name, but he is a modern-day Renaissance man who deserves recognition. He holds dual Luxembourgish and Spanish citizenship, speaks seven languages fluently, and has diverse business interests in Africa, Latin America, Russia, and Europe.

Lopez made his first fortune in tech and has since expanded into private equity and professional sports team ownership. However, his hustle has been met with some controversy due to his alleged friendship with Vladimir Putin and Russian infrastructure deals.

 

 

Despite this, Lopez has recently invested in a $17.5 million mansion in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, California. The 21,000 square foot compound boasts a 17-car garage, eight bedrooms, nine full bathrooms, five half-baths, and every conceivable amenity one could ask for.

 

 

 

The estate was originally listed for $25 million but eventually sold to Lopez for a discounted price after negotiations. Although it is one of the biggest sums ever paid for an Encino home, it falls behind Nick Jonas’ $20 million purchase and an $18 million mansion sold in 2022.

 

 

 

The mansion’s bespoke features include a gym, spa facilities with a meditation patio, a half-court basketball court, two gourmet kitchens, a hair salon, temperature-controlled wine storage, and more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The backyard has an outdoor kitchen, al fresco dining patios, AstroTurf lawns, a negative-edge swimming pool with inset spa and Baja shelf, and a fire-pit.

 

 

 

 

The decor is contemporary, and the upstairs master suite is a designer home in itself, with stylish showroom closets and bathrooms and two separate balconies overlooking the nearly 1-acre grounds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In conclusion, Gérard Lopez may not be a household name, but his impressive business portfolio and recent investment in a luxurious mansion in California prove that he is a force to be reckoned with.
