James Jannard listed a Beverly Hills compound for $68 million shortly after his record Malibu sale.
The Oakley founder recently set a record with a $210 million Malibu mansion sale, surpassing Jay-Z.

Just days after making a record-breaking Malibu mansion sale for $210 million, Oakley founder James Jannard is back with another mammoth listing.

The sunglasses mogul just put his Beverly Hills cement compound up for sale at $68 million, as first reported by Realtor.com.

Jannard, who recently surpassed Jay-Z and Beyoncé to claim the title of California's most expensive home real estate sale ever, has an estimated net worth of $1.3 billion, according to Forbes.

After starting Oakley in 1975, Jannard eventually sold the company 32 years later for $2.1 billion to Italian company Luxottica. He later founded the digital cinema camera company Red Digital Cinema before retiring in 2019.
