Located inside the exclusive, guard-gated Beverly Ridge Estates community, the Mediterranean-style mansion spans approximately 24,592 square feet. The property features eight bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, grand formal entertaining areas, a library, a screening room, a private study, a wine cellar, a gym, and a separate guesthouse with dedicated staff quarters. Outside, the heavily manicured grounds offer sweeping views, sprawling terraces, a swimming pool, and an impressive fountain.
A Star-Studded History and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Connection
While the estate is renowned for its grand scale and architectural design, it is best known internationally for serving as a temporary sanctuary for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. When the Duke and Duchess of Suss*x stepped back from their royal duties and relocated to the United States in early 2020, Perry offered them his home and security detail to help them navigate the intense media spotlight.
“We needed a house, and he offered security as well,” Meghan Markle said during the couple’s landmark 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey. “So it gave us breathing room to try to figure out what we are going to do.”
The gratitude extended far beyond their temporary stay. Perry was later named godfather to the couple’s daughter, Lilibet. Over the years, the Beverly Hills compound has also hosted numerous other high-profile figures, including Oprah Winfrey and former President Barack Obama.
Real Estate Journey and Upcoming Move to Puerto Rico
Perry originally purchased the raw land for $4.3 million in 2004 before completing construction on the custom Tuscan-style residence in 2012. Listing agent Santiago Arana of real estate firm The Agency noted that the estate represents an extraordinary expression of privacy, security, and exclusivity.
The Beverly Hills listing is part of a broader property downsizing strategy for Perry. In June, he also listed his 10,988-square-foot custom log home retreat in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for $39.5 million. Combined, the two properties carry an asking price of $96.5 million.
Despite parting ways with these trophy properties, Perry maintains a massive global real estate and business portfolio. His holdings include a major estate near Atlanta, a private island in the Bahamas’ Exuma Cays, and the sprawling 330-acre Tyler Perry Studios complex built on a former military base.
The upcoming transition follows Perry’s public announcement during a September appearance on Today with Jenna & Sheinelle, where he shared his motivation to slow down and spend quality time with his 11-year-old son, Aman.
“Yep, moving to Puerto Rico at the top of the year, and I’m pulling back a whole lot,” Perry said during the broadcast. “Getting older [inspired this]. It’s time to slow down a bit, enjoy more time with my son, and just take it all in.”
