Palazzo di Lago: Mark Wahlberg’s New Home
The impressive property, known as Palazzo di Lago, was designed by Aldo Stark and was originally listed for $45 million. Located in the elite Stone Creek Ranch enclave of Delray Beach, this gated community is commonly referred to as “Billionaires Row.”

- Seven bedrooms

Wahlberg and his wife, Rhea Durham, acquired the estate fully furnished, allowing an effortless transition as they prepare for Palm Beach’s social season.

A New Chapter in Florida
This purchase marks the Wahlbergs’ first residence in Florida. Since 2022, they have resided primarily in Las Vegas but also own a two-acre property in Idaho. Previously, they lived in Beverly Hills, where they bought a $5 million estate in 2001, made significant upgrades, and sold it for $10.3 million in 2013. Currently, the home is back on the market for $21.8 million.
Following their time in Beverly Hills, the family moved to a custom-built mansion in the exclusive Beverly Park neighborhood. They sold this property to Paris Hilton for $63 million earlier this year.
Stone Creek Ranch: A Secure Retreat
Stone Creek Ranch is becoming a sought-after haven for high-net-worth individuals due to its privacy and security. Notably, hedge fund manager Steven Cohen purchased a 21,000-square-foot home there for $21.6 million. Recently, another luxury home inspired by Ferrari sold for $50.5 million, with additional properties soon to list for around $75 million and $100 million.
