Lawyerly Lairs: Litigator Laps Up Malibu Mansion(For A Cool $10 Million)

The seller of this $10 million Malibu mansion is a famous music mogul. But we're more interested in the lawyer-purchaser. Who is he?

Here’s how the listing describes the house:

Located on the best portion of Carbon Beach, this contemporary home has the ambiance and warmth everyone is looking for at the beach. A grand living space with high ceilings, fireplace, circular wet bar, and dining area that opens to a very generous granite kitchen, help to define this home.

The glass floor to ceiling doors in the living room disappear so that the large deck becomes an extension of the living room. The master, three bedrooms and three baths complete the upstairs. A guest room and bath off the entry court, allows for a fifth bedroom. The perfect home away from home.

The vital stats: five bedrooms, five baths, and a little over 3500 square feet (Lexus not included). It was originally listed for $13.75 million, but the sale closed at $10 million. Liner’s negotiation skill apparently extends to real estate purchases as well as commercial litigation.

The house is not ginormous — it’s not even 4000 square feet — but it’s right on the beach, enjoying million-dollar views:
