Want to spend the summer (or the rest of your life) in the Malibu, CA, beach house of former Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels? Well, start your cardio regimen, because it’ll be a competitive race to the finish for this newly renovated oceanfront mansion on the ritzy Las Flores Beach. Jillian, who’s prepping to wed her longtime love Heidi Rhoades this fall, bought the home back in 2010 for $6.625 million. The price tag? Oh, just $9.75 million. But if you feel like taking it for a test drive before you commit, the home is also up for lease: all you need is $40,000 per month, or rent it furnished for the summer at $65,000.
Built in 1990, the three-bed, four-bath home is a 3,157-square-foot beauty with dramatic, 180-degree views of the ocean and city lights. On the main floor, the great room features high-end finishes such as custom natural rift white oak stairs, while the designer kitchen has Caesarstone countertops and retractable glass walls that open out to the expansive oceanfront deck. Jillian, of course, packs her kids’ lunchboxes with a lovely array of seaweed and alkaline water. Guess we won’t find any juice boxes in this house.
A dramatic fireplace offers the perfect place to cozy up as a family, while the office provides a great spot to work from home. (It could also be used as a fourth bedroom.) We were going to suggest making it into a gym, but with the ocean and beach just steps away, you’ve got workout opportunities at your fingertips. And in true celebrity trainer style, Jillian owns two other properties: another Malibu spread, which she bought back in 2014 for $3.612 million, and her longtime home in stylish West Hollywood, CA, which she’s owned since 2005.
