A supermodel has listed her stunning Beverly Hills mansion for a whopping £20 million ($26 million USD) – almost 10 years on from her divorce to a Saudi ‘billionaire’, which bagged her a £75 million settlement.
Christina Estrada, known for her modelling work and appearing in the famous Pirelli calendar, made headlines after she split from the late Sheikh Walid Juffali, who she was married to from 2001-2014, and with whom she shared a daughter.
The couple divorced in 2016, which left her the sole owner of the villa now up for sale and dubbed the “quintessential Beverly Hills estate”.

Built in the 1930s, the mansion has been painstakingly restored, blending the craftsmanship of a bygone era with all the latest in modern luxury.
Spanning 9,000 square feet with five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and luxe modern amenities, the residence will be sold fully furnished.
The two-story home boasts an imposing Italian-style façade, reports Luxury Property News.
Old World styling is evident throughout the mansion, with columns, archways, wrought-iron details, and exquisite beamed ceilings.
Enter through the impressive two-story foyer, featuring double staircases, coved archways, a wonderful chandelier, and a hand-painted ceiling.
The chef’s kitchen boasts top-of-the-line appliances and a spacious butler’s pantry, while the formal dining room includes seating for 12.
A cosy breakfast offers a more relaxed atmosphere, with yard access for al fresco dining.
Meanwhile, the spacious primary suite includes big windows for lots of natural light, a generously appointed bathroom with marble accents and a glamorous mirrored powder room, plus a walk-in closet fit for a supermodel’s wardrobe.
Upstairs, there are three more bedrooms with their own en-suites, furnished in a classic style.
A step-down living room with steel-case windows and an attractive great room with an inviting fireplace offer lots of space for lounging.
Outside, the spectacular garden offers a resort-like atmosphere with a stylish pool, manicured lawns, and tall hedges for lots of privacy.
Multiple balconies offer pool views, while the den and family room connect with the outdoor spaces for seamless indoor-outdoor living, taking advantage of LA’s year-round pleasant weather.
The covered loggia is especially lovely, with intricate columns and a curtained gazebo.
Other amenities include a library with built-in bookshelves, a five-car garage, and a separate guest house with two bedrooms and two baths.
The property, which features on Top Ten Real Estate Deals, is currently on the market with Gary Gold at Forward One.
Estrada, who is largely based in the UK, previously sought £238 million from the Saudi businessman, who died in July 2016.
Her lawyers estimated his net worth to be around £8 billion – though his representation refuted this, claiming it was £113.8 million.
