Jared Leto sold his Hollywood Hills compound for $12 million to an entity linked to Palmer Luckey, the tech entrepreneur who founded Oculus VR and now runs defense technology company Anduril Industries. The property, originally a World War II air defense center and secret military film studio, was purchased by Leto in 2015 for $5 million. Luckey is known not only for his work in virtual reality but also for his interest in military history; he owns decommissioned missile silos around the country with plans to use them for a future museum project.
