Tech money strikes again in wine country! Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen has just dropped a cool $13.5 million on a jaw-dropping 46-acre estate near Calistoga that’s basically a luxurious playground for the ultra-rich.

More Than Just a House

This isn’t just any property - we’re talking five homes, four vineyards, three sport courts, and one private lake. The estate, formerly a boys school, screams “generational wealth” louder than a Tesla in ludicrous mode. Larsen and his wife Lyna Lam, through their LLC Triple Gem Estate, have essentially purchased their own private kingdom in Napa Valley.

Tech Philanthropy Meets Wine Country

But it’s not all about opulent living. The couple has a track record of giving back, from supporting San Francisco State University’s business school to sponsoring refugee aid groups. They’re calling this massive property a “legacy property” - essentially a fancy way of saying their kids are inheriting some serious real estate.

Wine, Courts, and Everything Else

Designed by the “Frank Lloyd Wright of Napa Valley,” the main residence might only have one bedroom, but it comes with more amenities than most boutique hotels. Tennis courts? Check. Basketball courts? You bet. A restored administration building that doubles as a wine tasting room? Absolutely.

In true Bay Area fashion, Larsen has transformed a former school into a tech-money paradise that would make even Silicon Valley venture capitalists blush.
