EXCLUSIVE: Los Angeles 2028 Olympics Chairman Casey Wasserman Drops Asking Price of Kubrick-Inspired Mansion by $2.6 Million

Chairman of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, Casey Wassermanlowered the price of his designer, Stanley Kubrick-inspired by an eye-watering $2.6 million LA residence.

The sports mogul, who founded the sports and talent advertising agency, Wasserman, put his award-winning residence on the market for $32.5 million in September 2025, five years after the property was named the winner of the AIA Los Angeles Award for the most influential buildings of 2020.

However, after months of failing to attract a buyer, Wasserman, 51, put a $2.6 million discount on the property, bringing the total down to $29.9 million.

The impressive complex—while located in the sought-after Bird Streets neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills—was designed by XTEN Architects and was inspired by Kubrick’s critically acclaimed 2001 film, “Space Odyssey.”

Wasserman, who is worth an estimated $400 million, according to multiple reports, bought the newly built property for $23.6 million in August 2020—two months after selling the custom-built Beverly Hills mansion to the music mogul.David Geffenfor $68 million.

The price drop he’s asking for comes after the Mayor of LA Karen Bass called on Wasserman to step down Jeffrey Epstein’ex-girlfriend.

Bass told CNN, “My opinion is that he should step down.”

However, last week, the LA 2028 planning board encouraged Wasserman to continue.

The wealthy sportsman’s property in the Hollywood Hills, while perhaps not as luxurious as his former home, offers many amenities, including futuristic design and “airplane views” as well as many high-end amenities, from a theater to a private dance studio.

“Positioned on a cul-de-sac on Bird Street,” according to the listing, the five-bedroom, seven-bathroom property is filled with unique artwork that can be seen in nearly every room.

A cheerful installation on one wall reads, “More, Faster, Now”—perhaps a mantra many Olympic athletes will repeat to themselves when the Games roll around, while the kitchen is filled with colorful jars to add some whimsy to its black-and-white palette.

Among its many bedrooms is a magnificent master suite with a moody monochromatic aesthetic, complete black walls offset by a glass wall that fills the space with light and offers beautiful views of the surrounding area.

The master bedroom leads to “two closets and a large spa-like bathroom with a steam shower and soaking tub,” the listing notes.

Glass occupies several walls of this property, making the most of its hilltop perch, while the infinity pool provides the perfect outdoor space to enjoy the spectacular view.

“Enter through a private courtyard with high ceilings filled with natural light, walls of glass and polished terrazzo floors,” the description continues.

Expansive living areas fill the main floor of the residence, including a stunning living room with a retractable glass wall that opens up to another outdoor living space.

The open-plan kitchen, on the other hand, has enough room to entertain many guests, including both a breakfast nook and a dining area.

Office space and a private gym surround the 12,000-square-foot indoor living spaces—however, the property also has an impressive underground feature: an eight-car, underground “show garage,” perfect for anyone looking for a place to protect a collection of expensive cars.

Although not mentioned in the home’s new listing, a description published when Wasserman bought the property noted that the house has a special “Space Odyssey”-inspired roof valued at “over $1 million,” and radiant heated floors inside and out.

Wasserman bought the house a few months before he and his wife,Laura Ziffren Wassermanannounced that they are ending their marriage of more than 20 years.

Although it is not clear why Wasserman decided to sell such a beautiful property, it is not the first time that he has parted with such an important work of art.

In June 2020, the entertainment mogul unveiled a custom-built Beverly Hills mansion that he built on the property of his stepfather, the late entertainment mogul.Lew Wassermanentertaining lovers ofAlfred HitchcockagainSidney Poitierinside the home.

After his grandparents died, Wasserman razed their property to create a one-of-a-kind residence designed by a famous architect. Richard Meier.

In an effort to make room for the 18,000-square-foot mansion, Wasserman also bought the property next door, which had once been a candy bar.Frank Sinatra.

The finished result, known as the Foothill Estate, was completed in 2016 and featured an impressive array of amenities, including a screening room, art studio, and staff quarters—and 3 acres.

Wasserman first took action to release that home in October 2018, when the Wall Street Journal reported that he was listing this residence for a staggering $125 million. Had it sold for that price, the mansion would have been the most expensive property to trade hands in Los Angeles.

However, the sports executive’s bid for fame in the real estate market didn’t go well—and after several price drops, he eventually sold the condo to Geffen for about half that price two years later.

Even if Wasserman plans to build a new home for himself, he certainly has his hands full making sure Los Angeles is ready to go in time for the 2028 Games.

Earlier this year, the chairman of LA28 gave some insight into the work required to prepare for such an important event, telling The Hollywood Reporter that, while the city is already home to several existing spaces and stadiums that can be used during the Games, the construction of other temporary spaces will require a lot of time—and money.

“We are not building anything, but we will have many temporary construction materials,” he said. “Our construction period over the last four months will be the largest construction project in American history.”
