Even as the company's financial situation went from questionable to grim, work continued on Winnick's Bel Air mansion, valued at $92 million and considered the most expensive home purchased in Los Angeles (and by some reports, American) history. Winnick purchased the 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) mansion on 9 acres (36,000 m2), known as Casa Encantada, in September 2000 from David Murdock. Winnick paid $66 million of the purchase price in cash. After the acquisition, much of the house was renovated, new mechanical and electrical systems were completely updated and a service wing was converted into a studio for his wife Karen Winnick. The estate includes tennis courts, a swimming pool, pool house, and priceless views of Los Angeles. Prior to Murdock, the original house had been owned by Conrad Hilton, founder of Hilton Hotels. Winnick stated publicly and accurately that the 64-year old estate was being "updated and freshened."

7 bedrooms, 20 baths, 28,725 sq ft. Valued at $92 million.
