Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, acquired a sprawling mansion in San Francisco’s Billionaires Row. The historic 17,300-square-foot estate reportedly cost $70 million, setting a new record for the most expensive home purchase in San Francisco. Powell Jobs is known for her leadership of the Emerson Collective, her founding of the Steve Jobs Archive, and her acquisition of The Atlantic magazine.
The widow of Apple visionary Steve Jobs bought the 17,300-square-foot home at 2840 Broadway Street, in Pacific Heights, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing unidentified sources.
The sellers in the off-market deal were Sloan Lindemann Barnett and Roger Barnett, who bought the property in 2011 for $33 million, according to the Journal. Sloan is the daughter of billionaire George L. Lindemann; Roger is CEO of health-supplement Shaklee.
The Barnetts had quietly shopped the house and initially sought $100 million, sources told the newspaper.
The previous San Francisco record was set in 2021 by the sale of another Pacific Heights home for $43.5 million, according to local agents.
The four-story Spanish Renaissance Revival mansion, built in 2016 on a design by society architect Willis Polk, was cited by Architecture Digest as “the most beautiful house in America.”
The mansion sits on a 0.17-acre lot next door to a contemporary house owned by Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison, according to the Journal. Also on the block is a home owned by Jonathan Ive, the designer behind some of Apple’s most successful products, including the iMac, iPod, iPad and iPhone.

These Limousine Liberals are a piece of work.
$70 million for a house on less than a quarter acre? Nope.
Not to mention you can see the bare cinderblocks in the pic.
Amazing design. The walk-thru vid gave a good pic of the richness.
Even if I had the $$, I think and, with a little hope, I’d feel guilty living there.
Elevating oneself is a removal from common and the mind tends to “forget” we are all bound to the same end. Forgetting that the deepest of deceptions.
“Tis far from the Jobs’ house in the (yes , wealthy) neighborhood.
Is she still shackin’ up with her boy?
She is a giant turd sandwich. His taste in women is crap. She would eat her own children to advance her psychopath ego. Read Lisa jobs book. It’s the only one from a different perspective. His wife is garbage. And the lizard bitch just pisses away his money.
She has chosen by Divine so her any action all Karmas are Divine’s desire so any inappropriate comments are in vain
