LOOK: Lane Kiffin trolls Lincoln Riley after buying $17.2 million mansion
Lane Kiffin’s Twitter continues to be a must-follow. The Ole Miss head coach continued his trolling ways on Friday, this time poking fun at USC coach Lincoln Riley.
Riley bought a beautiful new house in Los Angeles for $17.2 million, and it’s massive. Front Office Sports tweeted some details about the seven-bedroom, 12-bathroom oceanfront estate. Kiffin retweeted it, and he just wanted to make sure Riley did his research before signing the dotted line.
“Did They tell you about California taxes first??” Kiffin tweeted.
Riley, of course, is getting ready for his first season as USC’s head coach after leaving Oklahoma. He hit the recruiting trail hard and got two former Sooners — quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Mario Williams — to follow him.
Riley is also doing work on the recruiting class of 2023, putting together the No. 1 recruiting class so far, according to the On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings. The class includes Malachi Nelson, a Five Star Plus+ quarterback, and five-star wide receiver Zachariah Branch — the No. 1 recruits in California and Nevada, respectively.
Now, he has a nice new house as he and his family get settled in, as well.

When Lincoln Riley moved from Norman, Oklahoma to Los Angeles, California, he listed his two houses in Norman — one of which has already sold, and the other is still seeking a buyer in the $1.9 million range — only to buy an estate in Los Angeles.

Riley arrived at USC in style, buying a $17.2 million home, fit with 3.17 acres and settled on the oceanfront in Los Angeles’ Palos Verdes Estates.
The house is not only breathtaking, but it also holds significant historical context. Originally listed at $19.6 million (Riley reportedly bought it for $2.4 million below asking price), the seven-bedroom, 12-bathroom, 13,000-square foot house was once home to Palos Verdes Estates’ first mayor, Fred Roessler. As such, the house is known as the “Roessler Estate.” After undergoing three years worth of renovations, it came out the other end even nicer than before:
“Even today, it’s a very magical kind of community, with no real commerce, no streetlights or stop signs, and more than 25 per cent of its area dedicated to parkland or open space. Most of that was down to Fred Roessler,” Chris Adlam, listing agent with Vista Sotheby’s International Realty, said of Riley’s new home, via Robb Report.
