Gwyneth Paltrow has recently secured a substantial mortgage to undertake extensive renovations on her Hollywood mansion, which now far exceeds its original purchase price.
Reportedly, the 51-year-old Academy Award winner and her spouse, Brad Falchuk, 53, obtained a $22 million loan for refurbishments, a move that could potentially make their property’s upgrades one of the most costly in the area.
The staggering value of the mortgage, alongside the presumed expenses for renovations, is noteworthy considering the initial purchase price of around $4.9 million. This indicates that Gwyneth is investing more than four times the original cost of the home to enhance it.
The couple acquired the property in 2016, subsequently demolishing the original four-bedroom house situated on the 2.36-acre land. Construction of the current mansion commenced, concluding last year after a seven-year period.
According to The Sun, the mortgage was obtained in November 2021 from City National Bank, known for providing favorable deals to affluent clientele.

The newly constructed mansion was designed with sustainability in mind, featuring two guest houses, double garages, and 60 solar panels installed on the property. Additionally, the spacious estate boasts a lavish swimming pool with a diving board.
Upon acquiring the mortgage, it was reportedly stipulated that the Hollywood mansion would serve as a secondary residence for the couple, with their primary abode being a seven-bedroom, six-bathroom mansion in upscale Brentwood.
Gwyneth, who shares ownership of another property in Brentwood with her former husband Chris Martin, has accumulated substantial debt on that residence as well. Multiple loans and mortgages on the Brentwood property, combined with the mortgage on their Hollywood home, tally up to a reported total of $40 million.
Following her separation from Martin in 2014, Gwyneth and Brad purchased the second home in 2016, eventually marrying in 2018. They have also shown interest in acquiring a property in Cornwall, England.
Notably, Gwyneth recently listed one of the guest houses on Airbnb, offering guests a “Goop-inspired stay.” The listing promised a personalized welcome from the star herself, along with activities like guided meditation sessions and upscale dining experiences.

Through such ventures and investments, Gwyneth appears to view her second home as a sanctuary for relaxation and mental rejuvenation, where she can reconnect with family and friends while nurturing her vision for Goop.
