In late 2020, Rob Lowe sold his opulent Montecito estate in an off-market deal to private equity magnate Jack McGinley for $45.5 million. Following that, the West Wing and 9-1-1: Lone Star actor, along with his wife Sheryl Berkoff, embarked on an extravagant real estate shopping spree. They spent a total of $18.2 million on two additional homes in the same coastal California area—one of which was sold in 2022 for $14.9 million—and acquired a luxurious crash pad in Los Angeles for $3.75 million.
