Financial executive Olivier de Givenchy has plunked down $14.5 million for a two-story seaside getaway in Malibu.
The scion of the Givenchy fashion empire and his wife, Zoë, bought the seven-bedroom, six-bath house at 6763 Zumirez Dr., Dirt.com reported.
The 6,353 square-foot compound is clad in brown cedar shingles and white trim with a columned portico entry on a 1.5-acre property. Made to look old, it was custom built in 2001.
The closing price was $1 million off original $15.5 million ask, but far north of the $11 million tech entrepreneur and investor Asher Delug paid for the property in 2016.
