Hughes, born in 1905 and died on a plane en route to his hometown of Houston in 1976, was famous as a filmmaker, business magnate and record-breaking pilot.
The eccentric billionaire moved into the house in 1928
Hughes led a fascinating if tumultuous life – marred by mental illness and addiction.
Hughes rose to fame in 1920s Hollywood as the man behind boundary-pushing and often controversial films, including The Racket (1928), Hell’s Angels (1930), The Outlaw (1943) and more.
He also set several world speed records and built the largest seaplane in history, cementing his status as an aviation pioneer in history.
The billionaire – whose exact net worth is disputed – led a notoriously eccentric life, albeit marred by mental illness and drug addiction. His stormy but fascinating biography inspired the 2004 biopic The Aviator, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Hughes.
He moved into the Hancock Park mansion in 1928 – and, years later, the residence would make an appearance in one of Scorsese’s films.
The over 10,000 square foot home features eight bedrooms and 12 bathrooms.
Each bedroom comes with a spacious closet and en-suite bathroom, as well as stunning views of the nearly 0.7 acre grounds.
Also of note is the 24-foot-long marble countertop island in the chef’s kitchen, while the brass countertop and matching wall panels line the edge of the room.
The kitchen opens to a small sitting area flanked by floor-to-ceiling shelving.
