Laurene Powell Jobs reportedly snags San Francisco property in record $70M deal

San Francisco reportedly has a new home sale record thanks to Laurene Powell Jobs. 

The widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs recently completed the purchase of a home in the Pacific Heights neighborhood that cost her $70 million, The Wall Street Journal reported, using unnamed sources.

That eight-figure sale price beat the record of $43.5 million that had stood in the city for the past three years, per the outlet.

With the home, Powell Jobs grew her existing real estate footprint in California that already spanned another property in the Bay Area and four lots in Malibu, according to Realtor.com. Her portfolio reportedly features real estate in Florida too.

Her acquisition of the new Pacific Heights property reportedly came through a private deal rather than a traditional listing. It had been under the ownership of couple Sloan Lindemann Barnett and Roger Barnett for about thirteen years, The Journal reported.
