In the land of tech titans and venture capital dreams, a new architectural marvel is turning heads and emptying wallets faster than a Series A funding round.

Welcome to Villa Anahid, the $57.5 million Atherton mansion that’s basically a flex for the ultra-wealthy tech elite. Designed by Mike Khalesi, this 13,000-square-foot behemoth isn’t just a house, it’s a statement that screams “I crushed my last startup exit”.

More Than Just Square Footage

This isn’t your average Bay Area real estate. We’re talking a three-story masterpiece with features that make HGTV look like a community college design project. Two kitchens? Check. One specifically for a private chef (because cooking is for peasants). An elevator and sculptural floating staircase? Absolutely. A fitness center with a backlit Himalayan salt sauna wall? Why not.

Tech Royalty’s Playground

Atherton has long been the playground of tech royalty, hosting homes of legends like Steph Curry, Eric Schmidt, and Sheryl Sandberg. But this mansion takes excess to a whole new level, complete with an infinity pool, living walls, and a waterfall that probably cost more than most people’s annual salaries.

The Real Estate Flex

The property’s backstory is peak Silicon Valley: bought in 2020 for $4.5 million and transformed into this architectural unicorn. While Miami’s Fisher Island may have recently stolen Atherton’s “most expensive zip code” crown, this mansion proves the Bay Area hasn’t lost its swagger. Tech wealth might be changing, but the art of the humble brag? Totally timeless.
