Tech icon Scott McNealy, the guy who co-founded Sun Microsystems back in what now seems like prehistoric 1982, is putting his Palo Alto mansion up for sale.
WAY up for sale.
He’s asking $96.8 million, which is $66.8 million more than the most expensive home sale ever recorded in the city’s history.
First reported by the Wall Street Journal, the sale is a jaw-dropper in a tony town know for jaw-dropping real-estate prices.
Here’s the story, by the numbers:
32,000: number of square feet in the house
3,025: dollars, per square foot, that McNealy is asking
13.35: acres off Los Trancos Road that the house sits on
4: number of floors in the house
20: number of rooms in the house, which according to PaloAltoonline.com includes — drum roll, please! — a pizza room; a poker room; a spa with a sauna and massage table; a disco; a full gym with a climbing wall; an indoor basketball court; a wine cellar; a billiards room; a theater and a 110-yard golf practice area with two putting greens
7,000: number of square feet occupied by a multi-purpose indoor ice rink/tennis court with its own locker room
1: a one-bedroom detached house on the property
4: number of sons McNealy and his wife, Susan, have
11,000,000: dollars spent, according to the Silicon Valley Business Journal
2: number of lots that the estate sits on
7: years it took to build it
2: years it took to secure building permits
16,564,337: value in dollars that the property is appraised for by the Santa Clara County assessor’s office
30,000,000: dollars that the current record-holding home sale went for back in 2017 when a 7,550-square-foot Professorville home on Cowper Street went to a new owner
