Maybe she didn’t want to be “all by herself” in a 31,000-square-foot mansion.
But singing superstar Celine Dion has sold her four-bedroom, 12-bathroom home in an ultra-exclusive Las Vegas community for $30 million, according to property records—as the singer inadvertently profits off the surge in home prices in Southern Nevada over the past several years.
Considering that the Quebec-born Dion paid $9.2 million for the manse in 2017, the off-market sale a month ago means the multi-platinum-selling singer more than tripled her investment. Though Dion, who shared her diagnosis of Stiff Person Syndrome last year, spent years on its renovation, building records show. That included an addition on the main level, remodeling a second-floor bedroom and adding extensive fencing, among other changes, public records show.

The 555-acre Summit Club describes itself as “Vegas’s only private residential lifestyle club community.” Tucked between Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area and the Las Vegas Strip, The Summit Club promises “five-star amenities, a championship golf course, and unique terrain-to-table culinary offerings.”
The community, which launched in 2015, was a joint venture between luxury developer Discovery Land Co. and the Howard Hughes Corp., which owns Summerlin’s land. Summerlin boasts some of the highest home and land prices in Nevada, according to Realtor.com. While the median listing home price was $720,000 in April, there are listings as high as $19.9 million for another Summit Club home.
Dion’s medical condition forced her to cancel he residency at the Resorts World Theater in Las Vegas in November 2021. She’s expected to resume performing in 2024. Dion still lives in the city with her sons by late ex-husband and manager Rene Angelil.
Dion has been in divestment mode lately. In April, the chanteuse sold her late mother’s 5,000-square-foot waterfront mansion in Laval, about 19 miles northeast of Montreal.
In 2017, when she moved from Florida to Las Vegas to begin her residency, Dion sold her $28 million Jupiter Island estate, which featured its own waterpark and river. Reports say she now lives in a more manageable $1.2 million Las Vegas mansion with three bedrooms, a pool, and a semi-private golf course.
The buyer, listed in records as a limited liability company, is linked to Bay Area private-equity mogul Chuck Esserman and wife, Ivette, according to Dirt, which first reported the sale. Other residents in the affluent community are said to include actor Mark Wahlberg, VC honcho Marc Andreessen, motivational guru Tony Robbins, and Las Vegas Golden Knights owner Bill Foley.
Representatives for Esserman declined comment, as did a spokesperson for Discovery Land Corporation, The Summit Club’s owner.
