How much is Cindy Landon worth?
According to Married Biography, Cindy Landon's net worth is guesstimated at $1.5 million. One should also note that her husband had a net worth of $40 million at the time of his death.
Her net worth might be significantly bigger than the above-mentioned sum. In 2018, Forbes reported that Cindy put her luxurious Malibu Beach house on the market for $18 million.
Many years ago, she purchased her house for $7.5 million:
I have been thinking about making a change and moving back to the beach for some time. When I saw this property I fell in love with it.
She could not move in right after the purchase as the house needed renovation. She hired the well-known architect Doug Burdge to work on its design. Soon after the renovation was finished, she wanted to move into the house and enjoy the Pacific Ocean panoramas.
Later, she changed her mind as she did not want to leave her other house in Malibu, where she enjoyed happy days with her late husband and children:
I had every intention of moving into the home but when it came time to move I realized I wasn't ready to sell and move from the home Michael and I built together—and where [our] children were raised.
As a result, she asked her son to help her to sell the house. Here is how she commented on it:
I will always have a special love for the home where I grew up, so for me, selling this property is much easier emotionally. I am very excited to be selling it. The design and views are truly second to none and whoever ends up purchasing it is going to be extremely happy.
In 2019, she sold it for $15.7 million, which is 13 percent below the price it was listed for on the market in 2018.
