Billionaire Beach Just Got Bigger

Billionaire Beach Just Got Bigger

Over the past three months, Malibu’s most exclusive stretch of coastline—famously dubbed “Billionaire Beach”—has seen a massive expansion. A single developer has quietly acquired nine fire-damaged lots across Carbon Beach and La Costa Beach, spending nearly $100 million in the process. The goal? To combine parcels and build ultra-luxury custom beachfront estates, tailored for the highest echelon of buyers.

This bold move marks a major milestone in Malibu’s post-fire recovery, especially in the coveted corridor between Duke’s Restaurant and the Malibu Pier—a roughly 2.1-mile span now estimated to be 68% owned by billionaires.

The message is clear: Malibu is not just rebuilding; it’s leveling up. With capital flowing back into the area and long-term investment underway, the future of these iconic beachfront communities is looking brighter than ever. The return of ultra-high-end development signals renewed confidence in Malibu’s market—and underscores its continued status as one of the most desirable (and exclusive) places to live on Earth.

With large-scale investment fueling Malibu’s rebuilding and the ultra-wealthy doubling down on Carbon and La Costa, the window to get in before the next wave of appreciation is shrinking.

Now is the time to start looking. Whether you’re dreaming of a serene surfside retreat or a smart long-term investment, Malibu is proving once again that it’s not just a destination—it’s a legacy.
