Snapchat co-founder Bobby Murphy, whose net worth is estimated to be nearly $3 billion, just dropped a mere $6 million on this gorgeous midcentury modern atop the hills of Los Angeles. Located in the celebrity-packed Pacific Palisades neighborhood, the 4,109-square-foot architectural beauty boasts exquisite ocean views that will make everyone watching Murphy’s Snapchat stories jealous.The glass-clad structure was built in 1958 and then renovated in 1991 by an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright’s. It offers stunning open spaces with high ceilings, a layout with an effortless flow, and four bedrooms and five bathrooms. Some details like wood beamed ceiling and brick walls may date the home, but that is also part of its charm. It feels as if it has a story, so Murphy can now add to that as the new owner.While the interiors are airy and stylish, the outside spaces leave something to be desired since there isn’t a pool, hot tub, or outdoor kitchen. The splendid location means the beach is just five minutes away, however, so maybe that’s where most of the social media moguls fun in the sun will take place.Cathy Ferraro of Ferraro & Associates Realty had the one-of-a-kind LA listing, which Variety first reported now belongs to Bobby Murphy.
