Alex Karp, co-founder and CEO of Palantir Technologies, has significantly expanded his real estate portfolio, acquiring a former monastery in Colorado for $120 million. The purchase, made in late 2025, adds to Karp's collection of properties, which reportedly includes as many as 20 locations worldwide, many situated in remote or ski-friendly areas. Karp's net worth is estimated at $14.4 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Recent Acquisitions
The Colorado property spans approximately 3,700 acres and was previously owned by St. Benedict's Monastery. The monks had maintained the land for nearly seven decades before the sale. In addition to this acquisition, Karp purchased a nearly 10,000-square-foot mansion on Miami's San Marino Island for $46 million earlier in 2025. His primary residence is said to be a 500-acre estate in Lyman, New Hampshire, where he occasionally works from a barn on the property.
Background on Karp
Despite his prominence in Silicon Valley, Karp has chosen to reside far from California's tech hub. His lifestyle reflects a preference for remote living, aligning with his reported interest in nature and privacy. Karp has previously remarked on his journey from a less affluent background to becoming one of the tech industry's wealthiest figures.
