Olivia Nuzzi rents $3.5M Malibu compound near RFK Jr.’s Los Angeles mansion
Nuzzi is reported to be staying at a Malibu 1.6-acre compound owned by restaurateur Tommy Stoilkovich, about 45 minutes from RFK Jr.’s L.A. home.
Olivia Nuzzi, the journalist who has drawn attention for a high-profile relationship and high-pressure political coverage, is residing at a Malibu property valued at about $3.5 million, The New York Post reports. Property records show the two-bedroom, 1.6-acre estate is owned by longtime Los Angeles restaurateur Tommy Stoilkovich, 62, and sits roughly 45 minutes from the Los Angeles residence listed for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Nuzzi’s former partner. The arrangement places Nuzzi in a star-studded coastal enclave while she navigates a professional and personal history that has been widely scrutinized in recent years.
The Post’s reporting places Nuzzi at the Malibu compound as she continues to commute through a career that has included a West Coast tenure with Vanity Fair. Exclusive photos obtained by The Post show Nuzzi in the area around her new digs, including appearances near Malibu Country Mart as she travels in a white Ford Mustang. The property sits on a 1.6-acre lot and is part of a pricey coastal landscape that has long drawn actors, musicians and business figures alike.
During a visit by The Post to the property, a man who answered the intercom shouted that reporters should leave and that police had been called, underscoring the charged climate surrounding Nuzzi’s West Coast footprint. The Post did not publish security footage or identify individuals who spoke at the gate, but the confrontation highlighted the scrutiny facing a figure who has moved in intimate circles of national political reporting. Stoilkovich, approached for comment, did not engage substantively with The Post beyond declining to discuss the property or its occupants. The 1.6-acre Malibu lot is described in records as sitting within a semiprivate, high-demand stretch where residents frequently enjoy seclusion and security alongside the area’s visible celebrity footprint.
The Malibu property situates Nuzzi within a broader web of Los Angeles landmarks and connections. RFK Jr., Health and Human Services Secretary, maintains a separate residence with wife Cheryl Hines in Mandeville Canyon, a secure, exclusive neighborhood that has attracted a who’s who of power and celebrity. Records and previous reporting place RFK Jr.’s L.A. home within a network of upscale properties that have drawn media attention given the couple’s public profiles and the ongoing coverage of his presidential bid. The sprawling enclave’s geography places Nuzzi and RFK Jr. in roughly the same coastal corridor, though the two are not reported as sharing the same residence.
The setting is part of a neighborhood known for privacy and prestige. The area’s long list of former and current residents includes A-list actors, athletes and business leaders who have chosen Malibu and nearby enclaves for their proximity to entertainment and media hubs. In this environment, property values are high, and access to information about who lives where can be closely watched by tabloids and mainstream outlets alike.
Nuzzi’s move to the West Coast has been linked to a broader arc in her career, including high-profile coverage and its accompanying scrutiny. The Post’s report notes that she left another publication amid coverage surrounding her personal relationships and professional associations. Separately, RFK Jr.’s public-facing profile has been shaped by his family’s political legacy and his own career, with coverage often focusing on his media strategy and personal life. The Post’s reporting on Nuzzi’s Malibu arrangement arrives at a moment when questions about media access, influence and proximity to political figures remain salient to readers following entertainment and culture reporting as much as political coverage.
The Malibu development sits within the broader context of a cultural narrative about celebrities, media figures and the spaces they inhabit. Neighborhoods like the one described—where private properties sit on multi-acre lots and gatehouses manage access—illustrate how high-profile individuals balance public interest with personal privacy. The story of Nuzzi’s Malibu stay intersects with a larger discussion about the intersection of journalism, celebrity culture and political campaigns in an era defined by widespread attention to personal and professional alliances.
