According to CBS San Francisco, Porat has purchased a three-bedroom home on Cowper Street in Palo Alto for a whopping $30 million.
The Colonial-style home has three bedrooms and 4,271 square feet of space.
It's a historic home that was built in 1932 for Lucie Stern, a descendant of Levi Strauss.
It last sold for about $1 million in 1978, but no one has lived there for decades.
The Palo Alto Daily Post reported that the $30 million purchase is the biggest ever made in Palo Alto, which is known for its pricey real estate and wealthy tech residents.
The house had not been publicly listed.
