Curry's $31M Atherton Estate Makes Peninsula Splash: Report

MENLO PARK, CA — The score for the highest price tag on a home in the most expensive town to live in the United States goes to Golden State Warriors superstar guard Stephen Curry and actress-chef wife Ayesha Curry, who bought an Atherton estate for $31 million in June, Variety reported.

Apparently, the famous couple shared an awe of having experienced sticker shock — even for the San Francisco Bay Area, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, which picked up the hush-hush celebrity purchase from James McClain of Variety.

The entertainment industry magazine reported the Currys made the purchase, which wasn't previously disclosed publicly since the house wasn't listed on the open market.

The mega-star basketball guard, who has become a household word in the world of basketball with his NBA Finals appearances with the Warriors, expressed concern about his commute, since the Warriors has moved its franchise from Oakland across the bay to San Francisco, the Chronicle added. The couple has hailed from the East Bay, so the move to the Peninsula made better sense in getting around Bay Area traffic.

Many of the tech industry's biggest players reside in the 94027 zip code, which often appears in Zillow's list of highest priced places to live in America, if not the planet. The median price hovers at about a mere $6 million. Read the full SF Gate story.
