Mark Wahlberg didn’t spend too many “Boogie Nights” at his Las Vegas home before deciding to boogie away.
The movie star sold a townhouse in the suburb of Summerlin to a limited liability company for $16.6 million, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. The two-story, 7,300-square-foot home is in The Summit Club, a private community.
Wahlberg has talked a ton about moving his family to Las Vegas and turning it into a mecca for film production. His $14.5 million purchase of the townhouse last August exemplified him walking the walk.
While it may seem odd for Wahlberg to suddenly flip the home in Las Vegas he owned for 13 months, the city hasn’t seen the last of the multihyphenate. The Summit Club hasn’t seen the last of him either, as Wahlberg owns 2.5 acres in the same community, buying the land for $15.6 million before the townhouse purchase; he may be looking to build a mansion of his own on that plot.
The anonymous buyer is getting much more than a two-story townhouse. They are also getting access to all of the amenities at the Summit Club, which includes a golf course, 24-hour security, wellness and recreation programs, snack stations, tennis courts and of course, pickleball courts.
This year, Wahlberg and his wife, Rhea Durham, also sold their 30,500-square-foot mansion in Beverly Park, California for $55 million. That sum was $32.5 million below what the couple asked for the property when they put it on the market in April 2022 for $87.5 million; the Hollywood A-lister and his model wife bought the property for $8.2 million in 2009 before building their own mega-compound.
Wahlberg, a Boston native, is best known for his roles in movies such as “Boogie Nights,” “The Departed,” “The Fighter” and “Ted.” He was also a member of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch in the 1990s, best known for their smash hit, “Good Vibrations.”
