OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s $27 million mansion is a ‘lemon’ with a leaky pool, lawsuit alleges


Even ChatGPT can’t solve these problems.

Sam Altman’s $27 million San Francisco luxury abode is apparently plagued with issues, ranging from a leaky infinity pool to faulty piping that dumped raw sewage on the property. In a lawsuit filed last week in a San Francisco court, Altman’s legal team claims the real estate developer Troon Pacific “misrepresented the condition of the Property as of the highest quality” to sell it “as quickly as possible.” The plaintiff also accuses the developer of failing to hire qualified contractors, some of whom allegedly “retaliated” by “filling drainage and sewer pipes with contractor bags and debris” over claims they weren’t paid on time. That “shoddy” workmanship has led to the pool leaking a “flood of water” into the home’s lower level last August, causing “the gypsum ceiling in that area to fail” and “the widespread presence of mold,” as claimed in the lawsuit.
