In 2017, Pat and Neil sold their longtime Maui home for $3.2 million, situated on slightly more than an acre. They also previously owned the empty lot next door, which was sold for $400,000. In 2007, the couple purchased just under 10 acres of undeveloped land in Malibu, California, for $1.675 million. They slowly turned this property into a large primary residence, which today is likely worth north of $10 million. The couple has owned at least two other properties in Malibu, including one that they sold in 2003 for $4.5 million and another they sold in 1999 for $3 million. In total, the Benatar/Giraldo real estate portfolio alone is likely worth at least $10-15 million.
