Jason Oppenheim Net Worth

Jason Oppenheim is a lawyer and American real estate broker who has amassed a small fortune of $50 million, mostly through his legal practice and very successful real estate business, The Oppenheim Group. He is both founder and president of the organization, headquartered in Los Angeles, California.

Career accomplishments

In 2019, the Wall Street Journal named him as a ‘best real estate agent’, along with some elite others in the entire country, and he was simultaneously designated the #1 real estate agent in the Hollywood Hills/Sunset Strip area. His real estate career has been so successful that he has already closed on more than $1 billion in sales, and at any given time, he always has over $100 million worth of active listings.

Early career

He was born in April 1977 in Palo Alto, California, and attended the University of California, Berkeley, and the UC Berkeley School of Law. Between the years 2003 and 2997, he was a successful lawyer with the firm of O’Melveny and Myers, and during that time, he had several high-profile clients such as Jessica Alba, Orlando Bloom, Dakota Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz, and Kris Humphries.

Where did Jason Oppenheim’s fortune come from?

In addition to his hugely successful stint as a lawyer and real estate guru, Jason Oppenheim has featured The Oppenheim Group on a Netflix reality show for the past four years, with a fifth already in production. The series is called Selling Sunset, referring to the Sunset Strip and Los Angeles areas.

Television success

The show first aired in 2019, and it has met with good success each year, so he and his group of real estate agents will continue to be featured on the show for as long as that remains true. It depicts the real-life situations behind the scenes of one of the country’s most dynamic real estate agencies, some of which include genuine pressure-packed transactions being addressed at the time.

Twin brother Brett

Jason’s twin brother, Brett Oppenheim, is also in the real estate industry, amassing his own impressive fortune by flipping houses. He also has one of the lead roles in Selling Sunset, the Netflix TV series. Like his twin brother, Brett also spent time with a legal firm before making the leap to real estate. That was a career move for him since he has now amassed a fortune similar to Jason’s, which has an estimated net worth of $50 million.

Jason Oppenheim’s personal real estate transactions

Jason purchased a home in Hollywood Hills in 2012 for $4.6 million and immediately began making major upgrades to increase its value. For instance, he purchased a TV screen 85 inches in length, which cost him $65,000. Seven years after buying the house, he listed it at an asking price of $7.25 million. When no one matched his asking price, he rented the place for $50,000 per month.

In October of 2020, he purchased another home in the Los Angeles area for $5.125 million, then a year later, he bought another one, sized at 12,000 square feet, in Newport Beach, California, for $7 million. In April of 2021, he also purchased a more modest dwelling in the same Newport Beach area, costing only $2.8 million. So, it’s safe to say that Mr. Oppenheim benefits from a luxurious lifestyle regardless of where he is and whatever he happens to be doing.
