After failing to find a buyer after three years on the market, the home is now being sold as two separate packages - a $12.5 million, 18,000-square-foot main house, and a $3.5 million, 2,618-square-foot guest house.

In 2001, Minor's net worth was $180 million. He sold CNET to CBS for $1.8 billion in 2008. By 2013, however, he was filing for bankruptcy, most likely due to his expensive taste in real estate, art, and horses.
In 2014, he founded Bitreserve, an online bitcoin exchange.
