Inside Jason Oppenheim's $10,000,000 Custom Hollywood Home

What's up guys! It's Graham here, so today I'm gonna be touring Jason Oppenheim's snootily finished ten million dollar house here in the Hollywood Hills. I gotta say, this one has some of the most outrageous high-quality, just extravagant finishes, furniture, and artwork I've ever seen in a home like this.

So with that said, we're about to meet Jason out front, and he's about to tour us around. I snuck in here a little bit early so I could film this introduction and ask you guys to destroy the like button for the YouTube algorithm if you have not done that already. So with that said, make sure to make that like button turn blue!

Let's meet Jason out front, and let me show you guys around.

"Hey! Welcome to my house. Come on in, of course, glad to have you! I've learned that the people that do well in real estate, they don't overthink things, you know? They find something and they make a move. The people that vacillate too much and they try to find, you know, they just—they talk themselves out of buying anything all the time. I like, 'Oh, maybe I'll wait for the market to soften,' or 'Maybe I'll wait for this,' or 'Maybe that house isn't perfect.' I find that those people don't do that well because they end up never buying."

"I have really a formal entryway. I wanted to have the house really private, so I put hundreds of ficus trees all over the house. So this is one of the first things I did. I opened up—this was a small fireplace, and I opened it up and made it like three times as big so you can look out and see the city and the ocean."

"There we go! Oh, that's neat at night because you look over the blue pool and the city lights. This is a Louis Vuitton trunk from 1896. They're suggesting a vintage mid-century lamp. This is actually off of a, like, a 1920s prop plane. These are really cool. These are from Spain, from the 1700s, and they were the counterweights to like the town clocks. This is off of a 1940's US Navy ship. Okay, so it's all brass, and this phone actually worked! It works really cool."

"Well, I actually spent more money probably wiring this to the house than the phone cost. I mean, this is bringing about two thousand dollars, and I probably spent at least two thousand dollars getting it into this room. Then I collect a lot of vellum-bound books, so you'll see all these around the house. They're all between four to six hundred years old. So in this, I actually—oh, the like, I've wrapped several of the bathrooms in leather, okay? Just to give it some context."

"And then when you'd be rolling here you’ll see it, but even like the fixtures, everything is brass. It's like the mirrors, a couple hundred years old at a London."

"What was the first place then you bought for yourself?"

"A little one on London Day."

"Okay, yeah, 1.3 million was my first house."

"What year is that?"

"2013. I remodeled that one, I added a lot of value. The market, you know, in 2013, 14, 15 was going up, so I refinanced it. I ended up getting out all the money that I put into it and an extra five hundred thousand dollars. So now, you know, essentially I've—five hundred thousand dollars of equity in that house. It's still covering, you know, making me a few thousand a month. So I took that extra money and I went and bought another house up the street on a heaven video, remodeled that one, refinanced it, got all my money out of that and some, and then did it again here."

"One of the coolest things in the house is this TV."

"Well, we got to see the TV!"

"Yeah, because when I walked into the house, I didn't want to see a TV over the fireplace. I didn't want to see a TV at all actually. So we had to dig 10 feet into the ground and then about five feet wide, just jackhammer all the bedrock. Then we had to pour concrete and basically made it like a safe room."

"How much was that?"

"To do this whole thing is probably about $50,000. Yeah, 'cause just this live—just the lift alone, it was about 15, just this chrome thing. And then I did this, the flooring on the bottom so it looks like it's, like, fixed. I didn't want any trim. I have the outlets going right up against the drive."

"What does it extra to do this?"

"I thought it was only like 250 dollars extra. Each one of these is 250 bucks, but then the drywall guys are spending hours on these, you know, together. So that's actually what the expense is. Okay, in retrospect, it was a nightmare."

"Now, these are one of my favorite things in the house. These are by a company called Hinge. I've got all hand burnished brass and then you've got this orange suede leather and they're like over $5,000 apiece. Wow! Whenever people come over, I'm very careful to be help the chairs to make sure they're all here."

"Well, I can see if there's all the lighting in the house is Buster and Punch out of London, so they make this one. This is the biggest one they make. Yeah, so you see how big that one? I had to have that custom made, so I actually flew out to New York, met the designer for Buster and Punch, got all the material from him, found a manufacturing plant here, I had them make that so it looks like it's the same company, but it's nice, right?"

"So this tree, it was real at one point?"

"Yes, but it was dying even though I put in the skylight. So I had them leave the original branches. This is so—this is like a, you know, the real branch, and then I had a silk guy come in and add this, so he's serious. He's like the best in California. So most people wouldn't know this isn't real."

"And this is one of my favorite artists back here, James Goldcrown. He did this piece for me. I just bought that vintage for him at auction and he painted that. He does a lot of the hearts. Right?"

"Don't even ask me how much I put into this. This one, I don't think I've made much money on. I'm not gonna sell it. It doesn't matter, and it will definitely rent for a lot more than my mortgage if I ever rented it. But at this point, I feel like I deserve to just, you know, overspend, do something the way that I want to, sure, just enjoy it."

"So I really love steel and wood, and I love floating stairs. So in all my homes, I build these floating stairs. It's really difficult, but each one of these weighs 250 pounds, and on this one, was 800 pounds. So you can imagine all the steel in the wall to support all that. You know, my only Oppenheim good wine."

"You guys, just like that quick, quick plug. So Graham, I did all the countertops in the house. I did in solid quarter inch rolled steel, so you won't see this in any other property. Can this wait about 700 pounds? They did like six people get really good, but it's indestructible."

"And then this is like one of my favorite coffee makers. It's called Hada Canada. It's actually really complicated, so I'm not even using it right now and it takes forever to clean it. Kind of looks cool."

"This sink, this is all 400 pounds of carved basalt rock. So that's also, I like, like very natural elements, like concrete rock. This is a Picasso right here, you can see."

"Now you missed one of the best parts here—refrigerator!"

"Yeah, so now you guys can see that I don't get eaten drink to mouth healthy chicken and salads, and then this is cool! This goes up and down! That's great."

"Missy slowly better works, so it was like another little detail that I did more recently. Again, this is quarter-inch rolled steel, so all this weighs like thirty pounds. I open this all up."

"This is the ship's company. I'd have like Massachusetts in the 1900s. So this is like a barometer, and this is a clock. They each weigh like eight pounds. Our solid brass, okay, so I just slip them in there."

"This is my favorite poem by Robert Frost. What does it say? Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry, I could not travel both."

"And now this bar, I enjoy like entertaining, so this bar serves really well. Again made out of solid steel and copper. So then you have more bedrooms on this side?"

"Yeah, and he said my guest beggars, which I really don't like having guests like near me. Yes, I like my master over there, and then my guest bedrooms over here. This is James Goldcrown, the grand."

"Yeah, this is Basquiat. I don't know if you know that artist."

"This one?"

"Yeah, no, contemporary to Warhol. All the closets are swayed, okay, lined, and then I put, you know, structural steel on the wall. So you'll notice a lot of times you'll see like a little V bracket here. Yeah, I don't have that because I have all the steel in the walls. Now I like doing it set up door. He knows I like it circle."

"Then again, this is all hand-carved basalt stone. I also really in black barn doors is the only place in the house where I can figure out a barn door working, but I made sure to include."

"How did you get then the capital to buy the first house?"

"Yeah, I wasn't making much money the first few years. I think $50,000, $40,000 to $60,000 for like the first couple of years, and obviously, I'm not saving on that. Certainly not buying a house with that. Then I think that the third year, did pretty well, a few hundred, and then I started building momentum. So I started saving a lot of money. I mean, I spend a lot of money now, saving money."

"Yeah, I mean, I would never as good as you, but I was more careful about spending for like the first few years. Now I know whatever, like, yeah, I'm now 40. I want to do what I want, you know? Yeah, and I'm still smart about things, you know?"

"But I don't care about spending money on furniture or vacations or food or, you know, whatever. But when it comes to real estate, I make sure I'm very careful."

"Yeah, unreal! See, that's a big, you know? What? Who cares about the small and, you know, things like food, clothing, whatever, if you're—if when it comes to the big bets, you're doing it right and you're making smart bets?"

"So this is the master bedroom. It's kind of its own wing of the house. This is my office. I mean, I don't really work here that much, to be honest. I'm usually at the log, this actual office, but yeah."

"How do I do? You like this? This is probably my favorite part of the house. It's just this angle right here."

"I would actually agree. This is probably my favorite."

"So I designed this desk. I got it was so heavy. I had to bolt it to the ground because it would like fall over. Wow! This ladder I got out of Germany. It works, and you can go up here and, you know, move around and get your books."

"I've got three homes with three clocks all like this. I go to a bell tower company and I commission the clock, and then I wire it. And then it does like, you know, well, I don't have it plugged in right now, but it plays like Big Bang and all that stuff. Faulkner's—it wakes me up, you know, every hour click! That's why I unplugged it."

"This guy, this is one of my favorite pieces, this phone."

"Oh yeah? Yeah, that I have on the wall right here, and this is cool. This is from a 1930s. It's a studio light. I just had a guy spend months refurbishing the whole thing. In fact, he took two of them and picked all the best parts from each one, and they made this. It's so bright that if you shine that on something from 30 feet away, like they get really hot, but you don't want it in there unhung. You're just so in the whole room gets hot."

"Wow! I don't know how people acted in the 20s when they had those lights on them."

"This is a big-ass lit for the projector screen, which comes down. Okay, so if I say, 'Alexa, close the shades,' I'm not gonna tell her to put that down, but then it turns into him, right? A movie theater, so I can just watch."

"Wow! And then where is the projector?"

"Right there. Oh wow! You haven't hidden right behind. Yeah, if I turn the fireplace on, yeah, lantern on. Okay, shouldn't a move it to a movie on Alexa, open the shades so take a look at the shower."

"Okay, I'm not that tall of a person, but I have a tall shower. So this is stone meant to look like the steel and then a floating step. Okay, and still finishes everywhere. So even this, I just trimmed up and still..."

"This is what I love! The watch collection—is this that new?"

"I didn't wash Patek, yeah."

"Wow! This is my favorite part of the house is right here. I don't wear it a ton. I thought I don't know it because it's like very formal."

"Yeah, if you ever want to age, let me know. I mean when I met you, when we started at Cotto Banker, I was living with my buddy Alex in a one-bedroom, you know, $1,400 hundred dollar a month apartment driving my grandfather's like thousand dollar 1980s, you know, gold Cadillac. I mean, I was not exactly balling, you know, ten years ago. And that's not that long ago."

"Yeah, but you know, year one, you know, you're one in two, you're just learning really. So I didn't make, but that's fine because I was learning. I was really working on figuring out, like, about real estate in Los Angeles. Year three and year four, I was focusing on fundamentals, building my business. I had a few clients but I was treating them, you know, really well, making sure that everyone was happy, and then I was getting referrals doing all that like the hard work, the groundwork."

"The truth is there's like no easy, you know way to get successful. I don't think. I mean, yeah, go buy a lotto ticket, but that's not gonna work. You just have to earn it."

"I didn't have room for a bathtub and I—because I wanted my song here, so I built this song out. This guy spent like six weeks like hand cutting each piece of whatever, and then I had to put my copper tub outside. But that doesn't bother me. Use that once in two years, really?"

"Yeah, so this is kind of my little hangout spot off the master's, a little fireplace at night. And then, oh, let me talk about Mr. Zhan. I just got these new misters with mercy. The house was essentially here. I mean, I did. So like this roof, it's original. I just took each piece off, power washed it, you know, waterproofed the roof, and then put each piece back on cleaning."

"I really like to keep the integrity. I like like fire feature, yeah. So I just wanted to go into the pool, which is kind of a penis, but it worked then."

"Yeah, I actually didn't have a spa here. The spa was over there. I wanted my fireplace over there, so I just added a spa. It's great. So because I have, you know, nice furniture and things in the house, I have a really awesome alarm system that goes around the whole perimeter. It's actually a live person looking at it anytime anyone crosses, so heat-sensored, infrared, and then voice-activated, and it goes around the house and around the whole perimeter of the house."

"So it's pretty awesome, no one's getting on the property. Plus, I have guard dogs. Yeah, go and sell!"

"Thank you! And Zelda—tearing a lot of people, you know, encourage me to take huge steps, you know? Let's go open up a second office, let's go, you know, grow the brokerage and have hundreds of agents. I have kind of resisted that ego play. I've stayed focused on what got me successful. I think that's one thing that people lose sight on."

"For example, if you look at any top agent in Los Angeles, you look up at the top 10 agents, not a single one of them just uses their cell phone. They have an office line, and you know, by the time you get ahold of them, you're three people deep. I only use my cell phone. There is—we don't have an office line. If my clients call, I pick up. If my clients text, I pick up. So I don't forget like why I got here."

"And that's just from working my ass off knowing the market. So I still make sure that I'm the foremost expert in my area and I give my clients, you know, completely undivided attention. And I did, and I just don't forget that. I still force myself to sit open houses. I still—I will not get rid of—I will not add an office number, just some things that I promised myself that will, you know, keep me grounded, keep me focused, keep me working hard."

"Because the truth is, you know, as soon as you start taking things for granted, you're done."

"I think that's our ending! Perfect. Alright, well thank you!"
