Les Moonves, Julie Chen sell Malibu beach retreat

Les Moonves, chairman and chief executive of CBS Corp., and his wife, TV personality Julie Chen, have sold their La Costa Beach home in Malibu. The most recent asking price was $11.995 million.

The sales price has yet to appear in the public record.

The transaction comes as no surprise. Moonves and Chen bought billionaire and Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Allen’s place on Carbon Beach this spring for $28.8 million. That house has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and 6,500 square feet of living space.

On the main level of the house just sold, a great room combines the living room, a dining area and a kitchen with stainless-steel appliances and an island. The rooms open to an ocean-view patio. There are teak floors throughout.

Other rooms in the 3,014 square feet of space include den/media room, a master bedroom with a fireplace, two guest bedrooms and four bathrooms.

The entry courtyard contains a spa.

Moonves, 64, married Chen, 44, a decade ago. Chen has done news anchor work and appears on “The Talk.” She has been the host of “Big Brother” since 2010.

They bought the property in 2008 for $10 million, public records show. The couple own an in-town house in Beverly Hills.

Tracy Lynn Testin of Prudential Malibu Realty was the listing agent. Mitchell Bravo of Keller Williams represented the buyer.
