Pop quiz: when is a $177 million house just not enough? When it’s right down the road from a $44.5 million house, of course! That’s how much billionaire Marc Andreessen and his longtime wife Laura Arrillaga have forked out to buy their second Malibu home, which they’ll presumably use as office space or for guest accommodations. The Wall Street Journal first reported the couple’s second big splurge.

As opposed to his $177 million estate — which sits on a bluff high above Malibu’s Paradise Cove beach and still ranks as the priciest home ever sold in California — Andreessen’s $44.5 million accessory home lies immediately at sea level, right on sandy Escondido Beach, perhaps one of Malibu’s least-crowded gems. The 0.59-acre property includes 130 feet of ocean frontage across two separate (but contiguous) parcels with two different addresses. One of the parcels contains a sleek contemporary mansion with more than 7,000-square-feet of living space across three levels; the other parcel has parking for 14+ cars, a guesthouse and per the listing “room for … an oceanfront swimming pool.”
