Nicole Richie and Joel Madden Offload Parisian-Inspired Beverly Hills Manse for $10.2 Million
It took nearly a year and several price slashes, but Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have finally sold their Parisian-inspired Beverly Hills home for about $10.18 million, Realtor.com reports. The House of Harlow designer and Good Charlotte guitarist, who share two children, bought the contemporary-style five-bedroom, seven-bathroom house in May 2021 for $10.15 million and listed it in July 2024 for $12.95 million. The deal closed last week.
The previous owners of the 6,100-square-foot abode were creative couple Sam Gnatovich and Alexi Rennalls of SIMO Design, who completely overhauled the 1987 build. In 2020, the designers gave Architectural Digest a tour of the stylish pad, which opens to a grand two-story foyer centered around a dramatically curved staircase. “The boxy exterior of the house contrasts with this winding curvy stairway,” Rennalls told AD. “We eliminated the base molding that is in the rest of the house and kept a simple reveal. We wanted the eye to just focus on the curve of line from the railing.”
Per the listing photos, Richie and Madden kept most of the pair’s work intact, including some of the furniture and fixtures. Their custom-made SIMO Design plaster-and-limestone table still graces the base of that showstopping staircase, and it appears as though the same vintage chandelier still lights the black soapstone mantel and surrounding built-in display shelves in the living room, which has been softened by the addition of a jute rug and sandy hued curtains.

Another highlight of the split-level home is the sleek black-and-white kitchen, which boasts swaths of bold Calacatta Corchia marble and sliding glass doors that open to a dining patio dotted with olive trees. The outdoor dining space converges with the backyard’s resort-like pool and spa, which offers plenty of sunny lounge space as well as some privacy; the perimeter of the property is lined with neat hedges.
