Dan Friedkin House

Multi-billionaire Dan Friedkin covertly spends $18 million on a Brentwood “Belgian farmhouse”

Onto the $18.3 million houses. The 2014-built property was built from the amended plans of Napa-based architect Howard Backen. The abode was never officially on the MLS, so we’re not even sure what the asking price was, but we do know that the residence was marketed as offering 7,800-square-feet of living space, a big discrepancy from the 5,476-square-feet stated in public records. Perhaps the sizable stable has something to do with that.

Most folks driving by this place would never even give it a second glance. The one-story house isn’t visible from the road out front the only things that can be seen are a redwood gate, hedges, and mature trees.

A decomposed granite driveway lends another informal note to the already casual experience. A short stone pathway leads to the deceptively-modest steel-and-glass front door. The entry corridor leads directly to a spacious living/dining room with artfully mismatched furniture. Floor-to-ceiling steel-and-glass slider doors connect to an enormous outdoor loggia — perfect for entertaining.

One of Yolanda’s favorite rooms is the outdoor-indoor kitchen. We absolutely love the olive green cabinets, the stacked stone, and the vaulted reclaimed-wood ceiling. There’s even a quaint pizza oven. But high-end appliances themselves (Wolf) cost more than a new Toyota, probably. Bless us! Back inside, there’s a real library with real bookshelves and real books. Yolanda approves of the table with the trendy mismatched chairs.

The combo wine and cigar room boasts two glass walk-in wine closets and access to the outdoors. Perfect for pouring a glass and then meandering about the yard. Reflecting on y’all’s money, amen? A few details in this casa are a bit too cutesy for Yolanda — take the enormous Levi’s mural — but overall, we give this house two big thumbs up.

Dan Friedkin Horsemen

Friedkin enjoys participating in air shows throughout North America and Europe, flying right wing for the Horsemen. Additionally, he enjoys flying in commemorative displays around the world, most recently in the UK with the Eagle Squadron. He used to fly as a Spitfire pilot in Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed 2017 film ‘Dunkirk’, which tells the dramatic story of one of “WWII’s most important battles”.

Dan Friedkin Dunkirk

Friedkin manages to glide his Spitfire precariously but ultimately successfully a considerable distance to land on Dunkirk beach, well into German territory, before emerging relatively unscathed from the burning wreckage behind him.

Did this really happen back in 1940? No. Would such a landing have really been possible? Perhaps, in theory, at a stretch. According to the book RAF Fighter Pilots in WWII, by Martin Bowman, veterans have described gliding with a dead-engined Spitfire for more than 15 miles (Dunkirk’s beaches extend around ten miles in length).

Dan Friedkin Houston Rockets franchise.

Friedkin acknowledged in a statement released to FOX 26 Sports that he is interested in buying the Houston Rockets franchise. He said that he has expressed interest in exploring the purchase of the Houston Rockets. It is exciting and a privilege to build on the storied legacy of NBA basketball in this city, considering him being a Rockets fan and Houstonian.
