Umansky, the gregarious owner of luxury real estate company The Agency, which is headquartered in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, has carved out a reputation as the go-to guy for high-net-worth individuals, claiming to have sold more US$20 million and US$100 million homes than anyone else in the United States.

One of his more noteworthy transactions was the March 2022 sale – in the US$100 million price range – of the Playboy Mansion.

He is married to Kyle Richards – one of the stars of reality show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills – and has four daughters, two of whom work at The Agency.
