Glorya Kaufman, the philanthropist who played a significant role in shaping Los Angeles’ performing arts landscape, left behind a legacy that extended far beyond her vast wealth. Now, her longtime Beverly Hills estate, known as Chateau de Liberte, has gone on the market for $25 million, with the proceeds set to benefit the Glorya Kaufman Foundation.
Glorya Kaufman, the influential philanthropist who left an indelible mark on Los Angeles' performing arts scene, has left her Beverly Hills estate, Chateau de Liberte, on the market for $25 million. The donation will support the Glorya Kaufman Foundation, in line with her lifelong dedication to arts, education, and community organizations.
Kaufman and her husband, Donald Bruce Kaufman, amassed their fortune through the Fortune 500 homebuilding company, now known as KB Home. After her husband's passing, Kaufman redirected her wealth towards dance, education, and the arts. Notably, she donated $20 million in 2009 to support performances by leading international dance companies at the Music Center, setting a new record for individual dance donations in Los Angeles.
In 2012, Kaufman fully endowed the USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance, which later opened its International Dance Center. The European-inspired mansion, known as Chateau de Liberte, spans 5,900 square feet and features a gated entrance, a cobblestone driveway, a grand foyer, a skylit tracery ceiling, and a wood-panelled study. The property, which Kaufman purchased in 2012 for $18.2 million, boasts an outdoor pool, spa, a three-car garage, and nearly an acre of landscaped grounds.
