Paris Hilton snags Mark Wahlberg's extravagant former megamansion in CA for $63M
A couple years after actor Mark Wahlberg unloaded his massive, nearly 30,000-square-foot megamansion for $55 million, another superstar picked it up for a higher price of $63 million. Paris Hilton and her husband, Carter Reum. And it was her brother, Barron Hilton, and his partner and co-CEO Tessa Hilton who helped them purchase the Beverly Park home by being their representatives, according to a news release. Ginger Glass and Alexandra Glass at Compass represented the sellers. 'From the first walk-through, it was clear how special this home was. It's timeless, and rooted in a community that already means so much to them. We're excited to see it become part of their story,' Barron said. While the estate was owned by an LLC linked to Shenzhen-based business mogul Xu Hang, Mansion Global reported, the 'Four Brothers' actor attempted to sell it for a much pricier number in 2022 — $87.5 million, the Sacramento Bee reported. One of the main features that drew in the heiress and her husband happened to be the neighborhood, the release noted. 'Helping Paris and Carter find their home here was a full-circle moment. Beverly Park has always been one of LA's most iconic neighborhoods, and this estate felt like the right fit—private, grand, and built for family,' Tessa said.

Hengbot Launches Sirius, an AI-based Programmable and Customizable Robotic Dog for Consumers
Built based on multiple AI models and intelligent robotics, the high-performing robotic dog is already popular amongst beta testers and pre-order customers NEW YORK, June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hengbot Innovation Ltd., building a new world of emotionally intelligent and expressive robots, today launched its first product in the Hengbot Universe, Sirius. Sirius is a robotic dog for consumers that made waves at CES 2025 for its powerful AI multimodal interaction capabilities and high dynamic motion performance. Based on AI models, Sirius is the first fully customizable and programmable robotic dog that lets everyday consumers develop and build their own unique robot from the ground up. The robotic companion market is growing rapidly, fueled by advances in AI, robotics, and consumer appetite for emotionally engaging tech. From elderly care to entertainment, robotic pets are emerging as a hot category of interactive consumer gadgets. According to Market Research Future, the global entertainment robot market is expected to surpass $18 billion by 2032, driven by demand for emotionally intelligent, programmable companions. Already embraced by early adopters, Sirius has attracted strong momentum with 3,000+ interested beta testers and 600+ pre-orders ahead of its launch. Hengbot surveyed over 100 early adopters and beta users in the Sirius Launch Facebook group, finding that 46% of respondents are potential first-time robotic pet users, while 54% had experience with at least one other robotic pet. As far as use-cases, respondents stated: 'The way Sirius moved was so fluid, it almost felt real,' said Sohail Khan, a professional reviewer and one of Hengbot's early beta testers. 'For a robot of its size to perform such complex movements, it was truly amazing to see.' Unlike other robotic dogs on the market, Sirius is engineered for more than simple consumer play with high performance, personality, and support for secondary development. With its proprietary Hengbot Neurocore™ joints delivering 14 degrees of freedom, Sirius mimics the movement of real dogs with uncanny realism by jumping, stretching, and dancing with lifelike ease. But what truly sets Sirius apart lies under the hood: an AI head with up to 5 TOPS of edge computing power, large model-driven interaction capabilities, and a modular platform that supports drag-and-drop programming, voice packs, swappable personalities, and even 3D-printable shells. Whether users are teaching Sirius tricks, syncing gestures with voice commands, or uploading custom facial expressions, Sirius adapts and evolves to become a one-of-a-kind companion that moves and thinks like no other robotic dog. Consumers can buy the basic Sirius model starting at $1299 USD. To pre-order and view limited-time discounts, visit AI-driven Innovation & Performance Sirius isn't just reactive, it's responsive, expressive, and deeply intelligent. Powered by a next-gen AI system, Sirius: This level of AI performance is made possible by Hengbot's custom-built hardware and software stack. At its core is Hengbot Neurocore™, a proprietary motor system that integrates three degrees of freedom into a single unit. Sirius features a highly biomimetic and optimized leg structure made from high-strength, all-metal materials. The result is lifelike agility, smooth gait transitions, and movement precision that mirrors the behavior of real dogs. Sirius also features highly adaptive motion control and a lightweight 1 kg frame constructed from aerospace-grade alloy, enabling fast, responsive actions without compromising durability. Combined with an AI head with up to 5 TOPS of edge computing power, USB-C peripheral expansion, and a powerful 2250mAh battery, Sirius delivers elite-level performance in a compact form. With Sirius' launch, Hengbot is setting a new standard for intelligent robotics in the consumer market. Customizations & Programmability From the moment Sirius is unboxed, personalization is at the heart of the experience. Whether used by a tech-savvy developer, a curious kid, or a first-time robot owner, Sirius makes it easy to build, train, and express your own robotic companion—no coding required. Using a game-like visual editor, users can choreograph dance routines, teach Sirius custom tricks, or create entirely new characters with just a few clicks. The experience doesn't stop at movement: 'With Sirius, we didn't just build a robot, we created the first of a new kind of robotic species,' said Peiheng Song, CEO at Hengbot. 'Powered by our Neurocore system, Sirius marks the start of a growing universe of intelligent, customizable robots designed to bring your imagination to life.' Hengbot is expected to announce Sirius's general availability in Fall 2025. Media interested in reviewing Hengbot or other hands-on Sirius experiences are encouraged to reach out. About Hengbot Hengbot Innovation Ltd. is building a new world of emotionally intelligent and expressive robots. While the company continues to innovate in actuators, control systems, and motion planning, its broader mission is to empower a new generation of robots with personality, emotion, and adaptability – bringing to life the childhood dream of having a true robotic companion.
