Olympic Gold Medalist Shaun White
As cited by biography.com, White started snowboarding at age six, after undergoing two cardiac surgeries at age five to correct a heart defect. Given his shock of red hair, he became known as the “Flying Tomato.”
After succeeding in the sport in the San Diego area of his birth, he earned his spot to compete in the Winter Games of PyeongChang, South Korea (2018) and Beijing, China (2022). White bought the Hollywood Hills home in 2018 for $3.92 million and sold it for $5 million in April.

The adjacent kitchen’s airiness is also credited to its proximity to that massive bank of windows.

A spacious bathroom has all the amenities due a star athlete, plus the plushness any homeowner would enjoy.
No California home is complete without a pool; White’s is appropriately secluded but nonetheless upscale.
The landscaped plot highlights the property’s prime location for enjoying the outdoors.
