Ronco's Retreat

Infomercial king Ron Popeil sells his L.A. home. 6 BR, 7.5 BTH Beverly Hills compound PRICE $4 million

It slices! It dices! Oh, wait, this is the house, not the infomercial. As-seen-on-TV kitchen-appliance guru Ron Popeil is selling his 90210 spread of nearly 12 years. Fittingly, the man who's made millions hawking rotisseries and food dehydrators has a house with three separate dining rooms. One holds his massive olive oil collection; another has a Korean-barbecue-style table where food is prepared before diners' eyes. Built in 1955, the 4,555-square-foot, terraced home also includes a great room, two guest suites, and a guest house with its own screening room. Sitting on nearly an acre, the property also has a pool and a tennis court. (Valerie Fitzgerald of Coldwell Banker Beverly Hills has the listing.)
