Mark Wahlberg is officially a South Florida resident, and he’s arrived with a resounding statement. Just months after selling his colossal Beverly Hills estate to Paris Hilton for a reported $63.1 million, the actor-producer has purchased a stunning, fully-furnished mega-mansion in the Delray Beach area for $37 million.
The move cements Wahlberg’s shift away from the traditional Hollywood hub and into the burgeoning celebrity playground of the Sunshine State.
The New Kingdom: Palazzo di Lago
Wahlberg’s new home is located in the exclusive, ultra-private Stone Creek Ranch community, a rarefied stretch often referred to as Florida’s “Billionaires Row.” The estate itself, known as Palazzo di Lago (Palace on the Lake), is an architectural masterpiece inspired by the tranquil glamour of Italy’s Lake Como and infused with a touch of James Bond’s ‘Casino Royale’ allure.
The details of the property are as spectacular as you’d expect from a $37 million purchase:
- Size: The Italian contemporary estate spans over 18,000 square feet of living space on a sprawling 2.7-acre lakefront lot.
- Amenities: It boasts seven bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, a home theater, a wine cellar, a resort-style saltwater lagoon pool, and a private tennis court.
- The Wellness Wing: In a nod to Wahlberg’s famous fitness fanaticism, the home features a dedicated wellness wing complete with a fully equipped gym, a sauna, and a massage room.
- The Luxury Touch: Perhaps the most unique feature is a hidden cigar lounge equipped with an advanced air purification system, offering a discreet retreat.
A Profitable Move from Beverly Hills
The Florida purchase comes on the heels of Wahlberg selling his massive, custom-built Beverly Park compound in Los Angeles. That property, which he sold to Paris Hilton, featured a two-story library, a private skate park, and a five-hole golf course.
While the price tag on the Florida property is lower than the $63.1 million he received for the LA home, the move to Florida aligns with a larger trend among high-net-worth individuals seeking a change in lifestyle and tax domicile.
Wahlberg had previously relocated his family from California to Nevada with the intention of building a state-of-the-art studio and pursuing new opportunities for his children. This latest purchase shows his permanent footing is now firmly in the East, joining a growing list of A-list celebrities and financial titans who have flocked to South Florida’s secure, exclusive enclaves.
The message is clear: Hollywood’s geography is changing. For Mark Wahlberg, the next chapter of his life and career will unfold under the bright, tax-friendly sunshine of Florida’s ‘Billionaires Row.’
