Real estate agents frame this as a win for the neighborhood’s exclusivity, highlighting that Hilton stayed in Beverly Park because she loves the security and community, not because she was stuck.
The tea? Hilton literally upgraded to the neighbor’s house. She rented 70 Beverly Park, loved the vibe, then bought Mark Wahlberg’s massive estate next door. Now she’s living in the shadow of her old rental, which is struggling to find a new tenant.
Hilton rented 70 Beverly Park for reportedly $160,000/month from early 2023 until June 2025. She then purchased 71 Beverly Park from Mark Wahlberg for $63.1 million. The rental listing price has dropped from $195,000 to $159,000 per month.
Paris didn’t just leave the neighborhood; she took the best seat in the house. Now her old pad is collecting dust while she lives it up next door.
If you thought celebrity real estate drama was over, think again. Paris Hilton’s former rental home at 70 Beverly Park has hit the market for a jaw-dropping $159,000 a month. The twist that has the industry whispering?
Hilton isn’t just a former tenant; she is currently living right next door. After renting the Mediterranean-style mansion for over two years, she upgraded to the adjacent estate, formerly owned by Mark Wahlberg. The proximity creates a bizarre dynamic where Hilton can likely see her old garage from her current backyard, watching as the property struggles to attract a new high-net-worth tenant.
The rental history reads like a who’s who of A-list logistics. Hilton and her husband Carter Reum signed a multi-year lease in early 2023, shortly after the birth of their son Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum. They reportedly paid $160,000 monthly for the privilege of living in the guard-gated enclave, which also counts Justin and Hailey Bieber, Denzel Washington, and Adele among its residents.
The couple stayed in the rental until June 2025, when they purchased Wahlberg’s 71 Beverly Park estate for $63.1 million. This move came just months after Hilton lost her Malibu home in the wildfires, prompting a quick pivot to the safety and prestige of Beverly Park. Listing agent Aaron Kirman, founder of Christie’s International Real Estate Southern California, insists the narrative is about lifestyle, not entrapment.
He notes that Hilton didn’t want to leave Beverly Park, stating, “She doesn’t want to leave Beverly Park. She looked at a bunch of houses and still landed here.” The home at 70 Beverly Park spans 14,061 square feet on 3.6 acres, featuring an Olympic-size pool and a six-car garage. However, the new listing price of $159,000 is a significant markdown from its initial April ask of $195,000, suggesting that even in this exclusive zip code, there is a ceiling on what renters will pay for a house that is half the size of the neighbor’s.
The owner of the rental property, Leonid Smirnov, adds another layer of geopolitical drama to the story. Smirnov, a businessman who fled Soviet communism, built a $200 million canned food empire that was seized by Russian authorities last year. He has reportedly urged President Donald Trump to intervene, citing dangerous precedents for US businesses operating in Russia.
While Hilton focuses on her 30,500-square-foot new home, Smirnov is left holding the bag on a luxury rental that sits in the literal shadow of the Hilton-Reum empire. It’s a stark reminder that in Beverly Park, size really does matter, and Paris Hilton just made sure she owns the bigger view.
