Retired boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. has quietly put his stately Beverly Hills mansion on the market, with an asking price of $48 million, according to information reviewed by californialuxuryhouses. The listing marks a rare opportunity to acquire a celebrity-owned estate in one of Southern California’s most coveted hillside enclaves.
Located on North Crescent Drive, the six-bedroom residence sits on a half-acre lot above the heart of Beverly Hills, offering privacy, prestige, and proximity to the city’s most elite amenities.
A French Modern Estate with Beverly Hills Pedigree
Originally built in 1992, the French modern-style home spans approximately 15,096 square feet and was extensively renovated before Mayweather acquired it in 2017. Property records show that the former undefeated champion purchased the estate from spec mansion developer Nile Niami for $25.5 million, positioning the current listing as a significant appreciation over the past eight years.
“The home was designed to balance formality with livability,” one of the listing agents told californialuxuryhouses, noting that the architecture reflects a more restrained, European-inspired approach compared to many newer Beverly Hills mega-mansions.
Inside, the residence features an open-plan living area framed by 10 sets of French doors, allowing natural light to pour into the interiors while maintaining a seamless connection to the outdoor entertaining spaces. A paneled library, a temperature-controlled wine cellar with an adjacent bar, and a glossy black formal dining room add layers of sophistication throughout the home.
Designed for Entertaining at a Grand Scale
Beyond the main residence, the property includes a fully equipped guesthouse with a private cinema room capable of seating up to 20 guests—an amenity rarely found even among Beverly Hills luxury homes for sale.
“The guesthouse alone functions as a standalone entertainment pavilion,” the agent said, adding that it has hosted intimate screenings and private gatherings over the years.
At the rear of the estate, covered walkways lead to a striking black-and-white striped pool deck, a visual signature that mirrors the bold yet controlled aesthetic found throughout the interiors. According to sources familiar with the renovation, these outdoor spaces were intentionally designed to accommodate both large-scale events and more private moments away from public view.
Beverly Hills Location and Lifestyle Appeal
Set in the hills above Beverly Hills, the mansion offers swift access to Sunset Boulevard, Rodeo Drive, and the city’s world-class dining and retail scene. Residents are minutes from Michelin-starred restaurants, exclusive private clubs, and luxury boutiques, while still enjoying a sense of seclusion uncommon so close to the city center.
Transportation links are equally convenient, with West Hollywood, Century City, and Los Angeles International Airport all within an easy drive. For buyers seeking a primary residence or a trophy investment, North Crescent Drive remains one of the most tightly held addresses in Beverly Hills real estate.
Investment History and Market Context
Mayweather’s decision to list the property comes amid renewed interest in celebrity-owned estates across Los Angeles. While californialuxuryhouses reached out to Mayweather’s representatives for comment, no response was received at the time of publication.
“This has been another exceptional real estate investment for Floyd,” the Altman Brothers said in a statement shared with californialuxuryhouses. “Properties of this caliber, especially with a well-documented ownership history, continue to command global attention.”
Joshua and Matthew Altman of Douglas Elliman are jointly marketing the property, leveraging their extensive network of high-net-worth buyers domestically and abroad.
A Broader Portfolio of Trophy Homes
The Beverly Hills listing represents just one piece of Mayweather’s expansive real estate portfolio. In recent years, he has acquired a newly built Las Vegas estate with multiple guesthouses, a 20-car garage, and a private vineyard, as well as an $18 million waterfront compound in Miami Beach’s exclusive Palm Island community.
According to individuals familiar with his past acquisitions, Mayweather was also previously linked to a nine-figure spec mansion in Los Angeles, though the deal ultimately did not move forward. Whether this sale signals a broader shift in his West Coast holdings remains unclear.
Still, as one agent put it, “Homes like this rarely come to market without attracting serious global interest. Beverly Hills continues to be a magnet for buyers seeking privacy, pedigree, and long-term value.”
