There are hundreds, if not thousands, of gated communities in Southern California. But the wealthiest — and likely the most famous — is undoubtedly Beverly Park, the guard-gated megaman…
It’s certainly no secret that a high percentage of Beverly Park homeowners are foreign businesspeople, and the neighborhood’s newest listing — a $30 million Tuscan-style compound — just happens to be owned by an oligarch from Kazakhstan named Eduard Ogai. As CEO of copper giant, formerly a corporation registered on the London Stock Exchange with over $3 billion in annual revenue, Ogai oversees the mining of more precious minerals than almost anyone else in Eastern Europe.
Ogai’s Beverly Park digs have a rather interesting and unusual history, as 90210 megamansions go. The 2.2-acre property was once owned — back in the 1990s — by professional hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, who flipped the then-vacant lot to Harbor Freight Tools billionaire Eric Smidt in 1995. Smidt custom-built the current sprawling compound, which records show was completed in 1998.
Now both estates are up for sale as two separate lots — the developed one available at the aforementioned $30 million, the larger vacant lot asking $28 million and including plans for a 39,000 sq. ft. contemporary megamansion. A double-height foyer with a glamorous groin-vaulted ceiling leads to an enormous step-down formal living room with ebonized hardwood floors, another groin-vaulted ceiling, an almost comically massive fireplace and a row of French doors that conveniently lead to the gardens. Beyond the living room is the formal dining room, which connects via hallway to the spacious eat-in kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, a marble-slathered center island and dark-stained custom cabinetry.
