Pia Whitesell showed off her insane $57million LA mega-mansion on Thursday as she decorated her stunning driveway in Christmas lights.
The former Home and Away star, 41, took to her Instagram Stories with a short video from her car as she drove beneath the twinkling lights wrapped around olive trees.
In a fairy-tale moment, the lit-up canopy created a sparkling archway on her drive to the palatial home she shares with multi-millionaire Hollywood agent husband Patrick.
‘I think I may keep it like this forever,’ the Australian model captioned the video.
Hollywood power player Patrick, 59, is the proud owner of the AUD$57million Tuscan-style home in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles.
The Endeavor talent agency executive chairman—widely considered one of the most influential men in movies with a client list including Ben Affleck, Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale—had for months been the rumoured buyer of the sprawling estate.

But it wasn’t until March 2022 that real-estate website Dirt.com confirmed the businessman had actually purchased the five-bedroom, 13-bathroom mansion.
The home, where the media mogul lives with his Australian actress wife Pia, features a resort-style swimming pool, a driveway lined with olive trees, and even its own maids’ quarters for staff.
It spans more than 19,000 sq ft, and sits on 1.35 acres of land.
The newlyweds, who tied the knot in secret in 2021, gave their home a makeover before moving in, with extensive renovations taking place while they lived in their oceanfront property in Malibu.
Their Holmby Hills home has a top-of-the-range security system and gated driveway, and privacy is guaranteed because it cannot be seen from the street.
The mansion has a luxurious but cosy feel inside, featuring ornate high ceilings, fireplaces throughout as well as a dramatic foyer.
There’s also a gourmet kitchen, a library and home theatre, in addition to a smaller guest house on the grounds.
Holmby Hills is one of LA’s most exclusive neighbourhoods. The Whitesells’ new home is close to the AUD$220million mansion built for the late TV executive Aaron Spelling and his widow, Candy Spelling.

Also nearby is the infamous Playboy Mansion once owned by the late Hugh Hefner.
Pia, a Chilean-born actress and model who previously starred in Australian soap Home and Away, relocated from Sydney to LA in 2021 to be with her husband.
The glamorous brunette, who is mother to teenage sons Isaiah and Lennox from two previous relationships, married Patrick in May 2021.
Pia, who was married once before to AFL footballer Brad Miller, accepted Patrick’s proposal in late 2020 after he presented her with a spectacular diamond ring.
The solitaire oval diamond sparkler is estimated to be worth between AUD$1.10million and AUD$1.9million.
Patrick, the boss of Hollywood talent and media agency Endeavor, formerly known as WME, has an estimated net worth of AUD$630million.
His client list includes the likes of Jude Law, Denzel Washington, Hugh Jackman, Kate Beckinsale, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Jake Gyllenhaal, with whom he shares both professional and personal ties.
Since relocating to America with her husband, Pia has been travelling the world with Patrick, staying in top-tier hotels and mansions.

She is best known for playing Katarina Chapman on Channel Seven’s Home and Away. She has also featured in advertising campaigns for Maybelline, Myer and GHD.
Pia is the woman who healed Patrick’s broken heart after his ex-wife, entertainment reporter Lauren Sanchez, 52, left him for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, 58, the world’s richest man, in one of the biggest scandals of 2019.
Patrick was the one who introduced Lauren to Jeff in 2016, and she left him for the multi-billionaire e-commerce entrepreneur in May 2019.
Patrick and Lauren, who share 15-year-old son Evan and 14-year-old daughter Eleanor Patricia, finalised their divorce in October 2019.
