Nail-polish money provided the gloss for the biggest condominium sale in Los Angeles County in the first half of the year, with former OPI nail polish executive Miriam Schaeffer paying $39.1 million purchase of a full-floor penthouse in Century City, according to Los Angeles County tax assessor records. The January deal at The Century also marks the county\u2019s most expensive condo trade<\/a> in at least the past three years, as The Real Deal reported.<\/p>\n

The seller \u2014 represented by Douglas Elliman\u2019s Bachir Oueida \u2014 was Vicki Walters, who listed the property at 1 West Century Drive for $50 million in 2023, according to the Wall Street Journal<\/a>. Her late husband, Raul Walters, was a real estate developer who built and financed early Walmart stores. Walters paid $22.5 million for the residence in 2015, property records show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sotheby\u2019s International Realty\u2019s Jacob Dadon negotiated on behalf of Schaeffer, whose ex-husband founded OPI.<\/p>\n

The 9,400-square-foot unit, which went for $4,153 per square foot, includes three bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Touches include hand-painted 22-karat gold leaf on the ceiling and 11-foot projector screens. The apartment also comes with a 500-square-foot studio, a pool cabana, a separate 1,200-square-foot office suite and four parking spaces.<\/p>\n

Other high-profile deals in the Robert AM Stern-designed building include Candy Spelling \u2014 widow of Aaron Spelling \u2014 buying a penthouse unit for $35 million in 2010, and singer Rihanna selling<\/a> her condo in 2024 for $20.8 million a year after acquiring it<\/a> for $21 million. Rihanna\u2019s unit was once owned by the late \u201cFriends\u201d star Matthew Perry.<\/p>\n

Schaeffer, whose fortune tracks to the OPI nail-polish brand founded by her now ex-husband, is an active player in the L.A. County high-end residential real estate market.<\/p>\n

In September 2024 she sold the Malibu carbon neutral residence named Zero One<\/a> at 11865 Ellice Street for $25 million. She acquired the 4,300-square-foot 31048 Broad Beach Road<\/a> in Malibu in 2023 for $35 million. And she spent roughly $51 million in 2021 across three purchases for properties in Los Angeles, Malibu and Hidden Hills.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
