Biggest home sale in '09

LAT says it's the $35 million purchase of an 8,704-square-foot Bev Hills home by DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg. Previous owner was Simon Ramo, co-founder of the aerospace giant TRW. As is often the case with big sales involving big-name people, the transaction was taken as a trust (Katzenberg has not commented). The place has four bedrooms and eight bathrooms and sits on 6.3 acres.
