Bill Simmons' new deal at HBO got off to a shaky start, but his other HBO interests, along with the freshly launched "Bill Simmons Podcast Network," and his "The Ringer" website suggests his budding media empire is still strong. As a result, Simmons has reportedly upgraded his living arrangements, purchasing a $7.5 million house along Malibu's exclusive Carbon Beach, also known as "Billionaires' Beach."

Mark David of Variety dug up the details on the new purchase using county tax records and other sources.

The house is a "humbly sized ... not-quite 1,500-square-foot, two-story cedar-shingled residence," with three bedrooms and three baths. According to David, Simmons and his wife also own a 4,200-square-foot home in LA’s historic Hancock Park, which they bought for $3.1 million in 2007.

While Simmons may not be a billionaire, many of his new neighbors are, making it one of the most exclusive enclaves in the country.

Below we'll take a closer look at what makes Carbon Beach so exclusive and at some of Simmons' new neighbors, some of whom have sports ties.

The nearly 1.5-mile-long Carbon Beach sits between the Pacific Coast Highway and the ocean, and includes about 70 residences, just north of Santa Monica.

The area has made headlines in recent years as residents fought to limit access to the public beach. However, after a decade-long legal battle, more access pathways will be built.

One of Bill Simmons' new neighbors is music industry mogul David Geffen. However, it might not last long as he is reportedly ready to sell his $100 million home after being one of the leaders in the fight against public access.

Simmons can talk NFL and boxing with CBS President and CEO Les Moonves, who bought this house from Seattle Seahawks owner Paul Allen in 2014 for $28 million.

Obviously, not everybody who lives on "Billionaires' Beach" is a billionaire, but some are, including building tycoon and art collector Eli Broad, who had this summer home built in 2001. According to Forbes, he is worth $7.4 billion.

Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison is a big fan of Carbon Beach. He reportedly owns 10 of the approximately 70 properties.

Even Jamie McCourt, the ex-wife of former Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, reportedly owns a Carbon Beach home that the couple purchased for $27.2 million when they were still together.

Simmons' place is "humbly sized" compared to the others, but for a blogger from Boston, the Sports Guy is yet another step closer to becoming the Oprah Winfrey of the sports world.
