LoanDepot founder and chief executive officer Anthony Hsieh is shopping his Crystal Cove mega-mansion in Newport Coast for $125 million.
The asking price is more than double the $61 million the Miami-based mortgage mogul paid in October 2020, setting an Orange County record at the time. That all-time high rose to $110 million in June with theoff-market sale of a newly built Emerald Bay home in Laguna Beach. If Hsieh’s estate sells near its asking price, it would shatter the Orange County home sale record for the second time.
Amid a recent string of high-dollar deals, sales
Amid a recent string of high-dollar deals, sales of Orange County single-family homes priced at $30 million or more climbed about 50% year over year, according to Compass data cited by The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the listing.
Listing agents Rex McKown and Marcy Weinstein of MWA Luxury Real Estate at Compass attribute the price increase to the lot size and views rather than major renovations, the Journal reported. The agents did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Southern California News Group.
Property records show no new building permits during Hsieh’s ownership.
Another Laguna Beach home sold for $82.6 million in October, the second-highest price ever paid for a home in the county. Both Laguna Beach properties sit at the water’s edge, one beachfront and the other grandfathered in to cantilever over a bluff.
Hsieh’s Crystal Cove compound, by contrast, sits
Hsieh’s Crystal Cove compound, by contrast, sits on a nearly 1-acre, double-parcel lot behind the community’s second set of gates. According to the listing, the site is “an irreplaceable offering.”
Designed by EBTA Architects and built by Mark Falcone in 2017 of steel, limestone and concrete, the 18,717-square-foot residence includes a three-story main house and detached guest quarters, with a total of six bedrooms and 12 bathrooms.
Past a stone courtyard with a raised reflecting pool and outdoor fireplace, glass walls open the pillarless great room to a covered patio with dining and fireside lounge areas. The grounds also feature broad terraces, an infinity-edge pool with a Baja shelf and coastline views stretching from Newport Harbor to Catalina Island and the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

Inside, the ocean is visible from the breakfast nook off one of two kitchens to the formal dining room and an airy office with pale wood built-ins.
A sunlit stairwell beneath a cascading crystal chandelier leads to the upper-level primary suite, which has two bathrooms and a heated, ocean-facing terrace with a fireplace.
Downstairs amenities include a tiered home theater, game room and wellness spa with a gym, whirlpool, cold plunge, sauna, steam and massage rooms and salon.

An elevator connects all three levels, with upper- and lower-level garages accommodating up to 16 cars combined. Approved plans allow for four additional spaces.
Hsieh, 61, founded and launched Irvine-based loanDepot in early 2010, and stepped down as CEO in April 2022 to pursue sportfishing — a passion he tied to philanthropy in 2018 by founding War Heroes on Water. The annual tournament for combat-wounded veterans has raised more than $10 million, according to a post on Hsieh’s LinkedIn page.
Hsieh returned as CEO in July 2025 and heads the mortgage lender from its new Miami corporate center.
