Take a tour of 'Billionaires' Beach,' the exclusive Malibu neighborhood where Bill Simmons just bought a house
The nearly 1.5-mile-long Carbon Beach sits between the Pacific Coast Highway and the ocean, and includes about 70 residences, just north of Santa Monica.
The area is better known as "Billionaires' Beach" as many of the homes are owned by some of the biggest names in entertainment and tech, as well as lawyers and financiers.
The area has made headlines in recent years as residents fought to limit access to the public beach. However, after a decade-long legal battle, more access pathways will be built.
The beach is also home to the Malibu Beach Inn, a boutique hotel.
The hotel has a popular oceanfront restaurant.
One of Bill Simmons' new neighbors is music industry mogul David Geffen. However, it might not last long as he is reportedly ready to sell his $100 million home after being one of the leaders in the fight against public access.
Simmons can talk NFL and boxing with CBS President and CEO Les Moonves, who bought this house from Seattle Seahawks owner Paul Allen in 2014 for $28 million.

Obviously, not everybody who lives on "Billionaires' Beach" is a billionaire, but some are, including building tycoon and art collector Eli Broad, who had this summer home built in 2001. According to Forbes, he is worth $7.4 billion.

Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison is a big fan of Carbon Beach. He reportedly owns 10 of the approximately 70 properties.

Ellison's most lavish residence may be this property he bought for $37 million in 2012. It includes a home, a guesthouse, and barrel-ceiling screening room.
Another house owned by Ellison is this 2,800-square-foot cottage that you could rent for $65,000 a month this past summer.
Ellison also bought the Malibu Racquet Club. Victoria Azarenka and Serena Williams have been seen there.

Even Jamie McCourt, the ex-wife of former Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, reportedly owns a Carbon Beach home that the couple purchased for $27.2 million when they were still together.

Simmons' place is "humbly sized" compared to the others, but for a blogger from Boston, the Sports Guy is yet another step closer to becoming the Oprah Winfrey of the sports world.
