For $17 million, Musk now owns the home he lives in (Redfin.com)
When he started renting the home from an LA hedge fund manager, the home was already on the market. First listed in 2008 for $27 million, records seem to indicate that the property was taken off the market when Musk began renting it. The owner seemed to want to try to sell it again and listed it again in spring of 2012 for $19.995 million. Perhaps Musk didn’t want to lose the place he called home for the last 3 years and made an offer.
