Billionaire Heir Furnishes Home with T-Rex Skull
This Beverly Hills home may look like a cookie cut, Classical-style mansion from the outside—but wait until you see what’s behind those Palladian windows.
The seven-bedroom, 10-bathroom house on Hazen Drive hit the market last week for $US17.8 million.
It’s owned by an heir to the biggest fortune in the state of Montana, according to public property records.

The owner is one of the sons of Dennis Washington, who owns a construction and mining empire and is worth an estimated $US6.2 billion—nearly double President Donald Trump—according to Forbes’ latest figures.
And this billionaire has some seriously bold style.

The owners took a nondescript dining room and put up shimmery silver curtains and matching wallpaper contrasted by teal-and-gold dining chairs, painted a wood-paneled office purple and hung a wall-sized, neon rendition of the Sandro Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus,” photos of the property show.

The most intriguing piece of decor is an authentic, million-dollar Tyrannosaurus skull in the basement. Bad news: The dinosaur bones are not for sale, according to listing agents from Hilton & Hyland.

The home also has some standard mansion amenities like a wine cellar, guest suites, bar, gym and basement used as a games and media room, according to the listing.
