Lee, a 36-year-old tech entrepreneur who founded VPN company Private Internet Access, didn't know he was descended from Korean royalty until 2013.
"People think it's cool that I'm royalty [now]," Lee told the South China Morning Post in 2018. "But I don't go around saying 'Hey, I'm a prince', I stay pretty low key."
Crown Prince Andrew Lee and Princess Nana Lee of the imperial family of Korean just dropped $12.6 million on a sprawling Southern California property, Jack Flemming reported for the Los Angeles Times.
The 20-acre Thousand Oaks estate includes a 14,000-square-foot mansion with seven bedrooms, manicured gardens and lawns, a resort-style infinity pool, and a tennis court, according to the listing. It was originally listed for just under $14 million.
The estate's listing agent, Tiffany Hu of Hilton & Hyland, declined to comment on the transaction. Danny Ross and Karly Williams of Pinnacle Estate Properties, who represented Lee in the sale, did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Take a look around the lavish new home of the South Korean royals.
