Georges Marciano – $24.5 Million, Beverly Hills

Georges Marciano is a designer and businessman who is believed to be the founder of the high-profile brand, Guess. As the company developed, Georges relied on his three siblings to help in assembling and showcasing and consequently, gave them 40% of his organization in 1981. As a businessman, we are 100% sure that he knows a lot about making investments, especially when it comes to real estate. According to reports, Marciano owns an old mansion in Beverly Hills that he bought in 1988 for a whopping $24.5 million.

Initially built in 1927, the renowned Robert D. Farquhar designed the house. Before Marciano, the house belonged to Columbia Pictures president Harry Cohn. Marciano reportedly tried to sell the lavish house but was unable to. He was stuck with the home for a few years–not that it was such a bad thing. The home stayed on the market for a long while until somebody finally bought it.
