Turns out the mysterious buyer who last year spooned out north of $26 million for Trevor Noah’s Bel Air mansion was one of the world’s most successful media moguls, albeit one most Americans would fail to recognize. He’s Bang Si-Hyuk, the lifelong musician who is now one of South Korea’s richest men.

Ultra-contemporary and sure to wow guests, the Bel Air manor was designed by noted architect Mark Rios as his own personal home shared with husband Guy Ringler, and the couple’s creation was featured in a 2017 issue ofArchitectural Digest. In late 2020, Rios and Ringler sold the house for $27.5 million to Noah, who stayed there barely a year before offloading the place to Bang at a $1.1 million loss.

Perched atop a steep ridge on roughly an acre of hillside land, the house is hidden from view behind towering hedges and a gated motorcourt with space for 10 vehicles. There’salso a separate gated entrance for staff and vendors servicing the estate, which packs six bedrooms and 9.5 bathrooms into more than 11,000 square feet of living space.
