Real Estate
Hidden Hills Home
In July 2016, Paul George purchased a 15,973-square-foot, seven-bedroom mansion in Hidden Hills, California, for $7.4 million. According to public records, George was paying approximately between $85,000 and $90,000 in annual property taxes on the home. Since he was playing for Oklahoma when he owned the house, he likely didn’t live there.
In 2020, Paul returned the property to the market, asking for $9.5 million. Music artist French Montana purchased the home for $8.43 million, roughly $1 million more than George had spent four years prior.
Indiana Home

In 2018, after being traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder, he listed the home for sale at $2.1 million, likely expecting to take a loss on the property. It sold for just $1.5 million in May 2019. After fees and property taxes, George potentially could have lost around $800,000 on the sale.
