Christian Yelich Is Selling His Malibu Hillside Mansion for $30 Million

Brewers star Christian Yelich is selling his contemporary mansion on a hillside in Malibu, California, for $30 million. The asking price is a steep climb from the $5.5 million the outfielder paid for the property six years ago, a gain of more than five times his purchase price.

Coastal hillside estates in Malibu regularly command eight-figure prices, so the figure is high but not out of step with the area's top end. Sales like this one are a useful reminder of how quickly property values in the most exclusive stretches of Los Angeles County can move, especially for buyers who got in before the market climbed.

Yelich has been one of the most recognizable players on the Brewers roster in recent years, and high-profile athletes often make headlines through their real estate deals as much as their play. Details about the home's size, features and the buyer were not available at the time of reporting.
