Brener purchased the home in 1998 for $8.45 million and built the current mansion on the land in 2001. To add acreage, Brener also purchased the lot next door.

Listing agent Mauricio Umansky told Forbes in an exclusive interview, “This is a true, true definition of a trophy property.” Co-listing agent Jay Harries said, “It’s a very special property that isn’t going to sell quietly, but we try to market it as quietly as possible and keeping it off the MLS is one of the tactics.”
