That home, however, is the subject of a drawn-out legal battle with developer Greg Malin and his company, Troon Pacific. Altman’s complaints about the quality of construction caused him to file a lawsuit accusing the developer of “substandard work” and “financial embezzlement.”
Altman’s three newest homes and his initial lawsuit-plagued purchase — the lawsuit is ongoing — are all owned by the same LLC, managed by Altman’s cousin, Jennifer Serralta, which suggests, according to Realtor.com, that Altman plans to form a large compound comprising all the dwellings.
Vast Property Portfolio
Altman's San Francisco homes only represent a fraction of his property portfolio. Business Insider reported that Altman purchased a sprawling estate in Hawaii in 2021 for $43 million. Altman also owns a ranch in Napa, California, where the New York Times reported that he and his husband, Oliver Mulherin, spend many of their weekends. Realtor.com reported that Altman purchased the ranch for $15.7 million in 2020, a considerable discount from its initial asking price of $25.5 million.
