Hot Property Turns 30

For 30 years, Hot Property has given readers the ultimate sneak peek into the lives and luxury homes of Hollywood’s rich and famous.

The arched footbridge crossing over a stone-lined moat at Jennifer Lopez’s $10-million French-style villa in Bel-Air. The bowling alley, hair salon and flower-cutting room at Candy Spelling’s 56,500-square-foot Holmby Hills mansion. Elton John’s snakeskin-covered bed frames in West Hollywood.

No detail is too obscure, says Kurt Rappaport, real estate agent to the stars: “People want to know — the world wants to know — what they are doing.”
