See Elon Musk's properties over the years, from Bel Air mansions to his secret house in Texas

Elon Musk has sold most of his California real estate portfolio, but he's building a new one in Austin. See the homes he's owned, including a trailer.

Elon Musk's real estate journey has been as diverse as it has been lavish. In 2012, the SpaceX CEO purchased a $17 million, 16,251-square-foot mansion in Bel Air, California. This property boasted a two-story library, a pool, and a tennis court with views of the Bel-Air Country Club.

Just a year later, Musk added another Bel Air property to his collection, purchasing a historic four-bedroom home for $6.75 million from the late Gene Wilder. This four-bedroom, 2,750-square-foot house featured wood-beamed ceilings, a pool, gardens, and a view overlooking a country club and the ocean.

After vowing to sell most of his possessions, Musk listed the Bel Air mansions for $30 million and $7 million, respectively. He eventually repurchased the Wilder property after it was foreclosed, and sold it to a couple for $7 million, even providing them with financing.

Musk's property portfolio expanded to include a 7,000-square-foot mansion in Hillsborough, California, a 16,000-square-foot mansion in the same area, and a tiny $50,000 home in Boca Chica, Texas, where SpaceX maintains a launch facility. His latest residence, an Airstream trailer near Memphis, where he claims to be "couch-surfing," suggests his living arrangements have grown increasingly modest amid his vast wealth.
