San Francisco mansion linked to Larry Ellison sells for $45M, city's priciest in 2025

Private equity investor Chuck Esserman has purchased a San Francisco mansion for $45 million, marking the most expensive residential sale in the city this year. The property was previously owned by Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, who originally acquired it for $3.9 million nearly four decades ago. Over the years, the estate underwent significant renovations and is noted for its sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge. The sale highlights the dramatic appreciation in value of the property, which has grown more than tenfold since Ellison's purchase in the late 1980s.
